Not My Meme But Figured I'd Share For Those About To Ride Out The Storm

Not my meme but figured I'd share for those about to ride out the storm

WHERE ARE Y'ALL??

Given how the location plays into Sweetjane's backstory, would you want a full Fallout game set in New Orleans/Louisiana? I know it's a very popular choice amongst fans for Fallout 5 but for me it would be super dependent on the writers - I don't trust Bethesda (or Obsidian, for that matter) to tastefully handle Voudoun.

I do and don't want a Fallout: New Orleans.

While it started for me with a literal vision of an opening scene similar to New Vegas that has a Louisiana style cemetary being panned over and "House of the Rising Sun" playing, I don't think such a culturally (and BIPoC) rich area such as New Orleans/Louisiana would be "done" correctly without hiring a cultural coordinator and a cultural sensitivity consultant. After seeing how they've treated indigenous people and even other PoC characters, I also don't think they'd tastefully be able to do justice for not only Voudoun but to things like Cajun culture beyond the accent and food. I (and Sweetjane) are also romani and that a plays into my feelings about a Fallout set in such an area. Just as Voudoun is often misrepresented, I don't want anyone but a Romani with Romanipen to touch anything dealing with romani culture. What I envision in a perfect Fallout: New Orleans is one that is BIPoC heavy and we all know how Bethesda, Obsidian and general fandom treat PoC characters.

I chose Louisiana for Sweetjane because it is majority French speaking (as French is one of my native languages) and has a large Romani community due to when French and Spanish sent their Romani slaves to their colonies. Sweetjane (as written by me) is first and foremost a Romani character written by an actual Romani person. I am not Voudoun and have done extensive reasearch to try and accurately portray the religion in the same way I want my culture to be represented.

YOOOOOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY FALLOUT 

Broke: Noel's Lament is a ballad and The Ballad of Jane Doe is a lament

Woke: They're called the opposite names because Jane and Noel had what the other most wanted. Noel wanted tragedy, Jane wanted a life she could remember
