At the top is the heading “Replies” with the subheading “Includes replies that need review.” A comment from stomp_999, posted 4 days ago, says: “Omfg... political lesbian sci-fi. I tried. I overlooked how cheesy hokey ridiculous much of this was just to enjoy a brain fluff story and listen to the story but you lost me. You lost me with the political gay bullshit. 🙄 I hope no else wastes their time on this useless drivel.” Below the comment is a “See less” link. A divider says “2 replies.” The first reply is from Taylor, posted 2 days ago, saying: “My dude, you seriously clicked on a audio drama about a lesbian couple in Fallout and got angry that it was about a lesbian couple... in Fallout.” The second reply is from Once Upon A Wasteland: A Fallout Story, posted 8 minutes ago, saying: “The show does exactly what it says on the tin. I'm genuinely baffled by your surprise, though less so than your calling the lead characters' relationship "political."”
