Nexus Mods Bans Creator of Mod That Changes LGBT Flags Into American Flags but Its Hypocrisy Is Now on Display – Opinion

Nexus Mods can be found on a site which contains many mods that you can add to your video games. These modifications range from minor reskinning of characters to significant changes to gameplay.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is one such game that the modding community decided to tackle, but among them was a person who decided to do something that would upset the woke leftists on the site, especially the people who run it.

According to Bounding Into Comics, the user “Mike Hawk” created a mod called “Non-Newtonian New York” which would replace all the LGBT flags in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered with American flags.

“Tired of Sir Isaac shoving his fancy light show in your face everywhere? This removes them and replaces them with the stars and stripes,” read the description of the mod.

It was shown with an image of Sir Issac observing the light spectrum. This picture is represented by a rainbow. This is the obvious joke. It eliminates all LGBT flags.

Nexus Mods pulled the mod but not before there were over 300 downloaded. The site decided to virtue signal using the incident, called the user a “coward” and a “troll,” and made the usual bowing motions toward the social justice community with promises to “do better”:

Our policy regarding the replacement of Pride flags within this or any other game is: We are for inclusion, but we also support diversity. If someone uploads a mod to our site that is intended to be deliberately against inclusion and/or diversity, we will immediately take appropriate action. It is the same for anyone trying to spam other users using mods in an attempt to increase their popularity. Our website will be moderating to reflect this ethos.

There’s still no proof that the user did so in order to be a “troll.” Using a mod to delete flags from a group you might not agree with isn’t necessarily a crime, and users should be free to do what they want within the bounds of the game they bought on the computer they own.

Nexus Mods appears to be content to permit the removal of American flags within the exact same game, in spite the fact it may offend patriotic Americans as well as those who served and fought for this country.

As you can see on the site, a mod exists for the game called “Colorful New York” which takes every flag in the game and turns it into an LGBT flag. As of this writing, the mod is still up and isn’t likely to come down. Also as of this writing, it has half the downloads “Non-Newtonian” New York had before it was taken down.

Site administrators are a clear example of cowardice. They won’t apply their rules equally for fear that they might get into trouble with online mobs. They shouldn’t be applying censorship.
