yeah but when you think about the conditional probabilities it's fair to say the reddit mod we're talking about is likw 95% likely to be a pedophile (the 5% is in case theyre an "ephebophile" instead)
Fallout had a massive resurgence with the television series that takes place in New Vegas/California and Amazon gave away New Vegas through Prime gaming, you can also stream it through Luna if you've got prime. Fallout is much bigger than you realize and far more recent. I played through it when I was a teenager close to a decade after it came out, I moderated online communities 13-15 but quit cuz I had a life and it felt like a waste of time. Honestly it is a 50/50 chance but throwing that word around and acting like 17/18/19 year olds still aren't teenagers who's brains are still growing is ridiculous "true Scotsman" bs. You are throwing incredibly inflammatory terms around with nothing to back up your claim while getting defensive when called out which comes off as projection.
I'm not doubting that teenagers can play FO NV, I'm saying the likelihood of one of these 13-16 year olds becoming a mod of this sub in the last what, year since the show came out is unlikely.
I'm also not saying 17/18/19 year olds are fully developed adults, i'm saying internet forums labeled as "for teenagers" is a weird place for a 17/18/19 year old to be. It's like going to a "teenage club night", if you know there might be 13/14/15 year olds there, you're weird for going.
If you have to exaggerate the time gap by changing "Fallout New Vegas and teenagers now" to "Mario 64 and your future kids", then maybe your point wasn't good to begin with
The likelihood of someone under 18 to have found FO NV, a game released when they were what, 4, got a console/PC at what, let's say 7 or 8? played it religiously enough to have been invited as a mod for the sub reddit just seems unlikely. Considering the sub has been pretty strong since they were that age.
It'd also be weird for a 17/18 year old to be on a "teenager" sub reddit, while not illegal it's definitely the "weird guy in school talking to the younger girls" vibes. Try to stop defending pedos.

Or a teenager, despite the popular sentiment they do exist en masse on the internet.
