We just wrote about the big new one Fallout: New Vegas mod The border last week when it premiered! And now we’re rewriting it, because the modification has been “hidden” (basically temporarily removed) from Nexus Mods and extracted from your own website following allegations that one of his artists posted “animated pedophile content on his personal artist accounts.”

The full statement, posted on the modification page by the development team, reads:

In the last few hours, some deeply disturbing news has appeared. We were recently notified that one of our developers, ZuTheSkunk, had posted animated pedophile content on their personal artist accounts. The items in question are deeply disturbing to the entire team and we condemn them in the strongest sense. Since then, ZuTheSkunk has been removed from the development team and our community discord has been banned. We will hold a dialogue with members of the development team to hear their views on the current situation and help further inform our decision. We have stopped production and are working on the modification to properly address the current events. More action will be taken and a more detailed address will be posted soon.

The opinions, thoughts and opinions expressed both in and out of the modification belong exclusively to the authors who write them and not to the organization, community or other group or individual of the modification.

ZuTheSkunk has a Deviantart account that is still active, consisting primarily of My little pony they make art, and which from time to time deviates towards sexual territory, though nothing of the magnitude alleged in the statement. However, there is now a deleted account on the NSFW-oriented art website Skin affinity called “ZuTheSkunk” which has been “disabled by owner”.

The modification is also not available on Steam, which appears simply as “Soon.”
