The best example are the ones that replace "Type 1 / Type 2" with "Male / Female" in games where you create a character. Banned. Another is the one that simply replaced all the pride flags with american flags in Spider-Man. Banned.
I love seeing conservative snowflakes complaining about censorship when it's literally the most stupid small changes, you make it sound like the game is unplayable because it's acknowledges/supports minorities in non-impactful ways.
But no mention of the games and mods that let you play out genocide/rape.
It's the pride flags that are the problem. /s
Way to miss the point. The point is that mods as trivial as the ones I said in single player games were banned because the owner didn’t like them, while the owner allowed the mods like you mentioned.
The point is as a moral normal human being you should not be getting upset and bitching about a coloured flag. There are so many terrible awful things happening in the world and a rainbow flag sends you into a fury.
There is something wrong with YOU, not LGBT.
No, that’s not the point. The point is that someone should be able to mod the flags in a single player game on their computer to be whatever they want, but Nexus Mods don’t think so. They want to tell you what you can and can’t do as a mod based on their ideology. Make a white character black? Go for it!!!! Black character white? Banned!
Do you not see how this is an issue?
No I don't because I've never been as petty to feel the need to download those kind of shit trash mods.
I can only imagine the comments section on the mods that attract that kind of person, I bet it was really wholesome and supportive!
Also I am pretty sure the only reason Nexus banned the mod author (of the flags mod) is because they did it on a throwaway, which suddenly moved the mod into obvious trolling behaviour. If they had published the mod on their main account they would have just removed it without the ban.
Nexus is a private company and they can ban any mod they want to, it's their decision what they want to allow on there.
I bet if Nexus was doing this in reverse, and was banning mods that added pride flags or w/e, you wouldn't have a problem with it, you don't care about freedom, you only care that you are allowed to be a piece of shit person.
