No thanks. Nexus Mods is about censorship.
Oh yikes, is this still about that spiteful pronouns mod?
Idk what that is. This is about that mod where some dude wanted all the relationships in BG3 to be straight couples. Nexus mods is okay with all the relationships being gay, but not all of them being straight? The hypocrisy is ridiculous. We can't have our fantasy play time be dictated by other people, so why should they?
Edit: It might have been Skyrim. Not sure. Either way, people should get to do whatever they like in the privacy of their homes with whatever shapes please them, and it shouldn't be up to Nexus mods to say which communities can share their fantasy shit and which can't do long as they're positioned as the primary access point for the whole modding scene. It's literally discrimination. Those who say otherwise are probably the same trolls that say only men can rape.
It seriously sounds like you’re trolling. People could do that already! The addition of the mod does LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU’RE SAYING IT DOES. The existence of gay characters doesn’t FORCE you to be gay around them.
Thanks for self reporting so hard though.
I've got no problem with the gay mods bro. I'm bi. I've got a problem with "it's ok when it's gay but not when it's straight". That's exclusion. Doing it back to them is not justice.
I don't generally feel the need to mod sex into my games anyhow. I want that college of winterhold and extra spells and shit. I've got other games for sex.
Yeah, no. Allowing this kind of fuckwittery excludes other people from the platform. How do you think the average minority player feels when people create mods specifically to turn non-white characters white? If you want these things available, go ahead and create your own platform - but don't force others to swallow your racist, sexist bullshit.
Or, to make it short: too bad you feel discriminated against while trying to discriminate against others.
How do you feel when someone turns everything not Shrek into Shrek? Who gives a damn? Nexus didn't pull rank with the BG3 mod that makes everyone gay. The fact that one group in the category is bigger than the other doesn't matter. That's just discriminating specifically against the majority which makes no more sense than discriminating against the minority. Pick a stance that isn't hypocritical. You can have your all gay wonderland but they can't have their all straight wonderland? Get fucked. Get fucked however you like. I'm personally only interested in gameplay and graphical improvements, but I won't waste a moment dealing with a discriminatory host like Nexus.
The idea that this is in any way comparable to my previous example shows the amount of empathy people with your positions have for other groups: none at all.
Being gay is wrong, but this idiot can JAQ off in public all day without shame? Disgusting.
Tell me. What's my position?
Dude. Lemmy is also another place where minorities don't respect or even acknowledge the majority preferences.
I would rather let people be whoever they want to be in their own privacy and not try to rub it in everyones faces.
Yeah that much is clear. I'm all about the alternatives when it's freedom and open source software, but when it's 'haha fuck those straight people because someone was mean to me and made me embarrassed in middle school", that shit is just childish echo chamber nonsense. It's okay to be into whatever sex stuff you're about. It's okay if someone else's sex stuff feels like bad vibes to you. Shit is weird. It's not okay to dictate availability of that shit for someone else. That's why I don't fuck with Nexus mods. What else are they hiding from me?
Nah I am fine with bigoted shit not being allowed on the platform so this is making me want to use this even more :)
Reminds me of the Starfield PrOnOuNs guy lmao
What makes all straight bigoted while all gay is not? Hypocrite. It's only discrimination if it's white or straight or male now? You can have it how you like but they can't? Go fuck yourself however you please, but they gotta fuck themselves also how you please?
please wipe away the copious amount of foam from your mouth
Changing relationships outside the cishet normativity to the cishet normativity because it makes you UnComFoRtAbLe is bigoted, yes. Deal with it sweety :)
Oh, so now it's bad to be uncomfortable. So now they gotta take it and be uncomfortable with it, but YOUR comfort matters? Get over yourself. You're just being tribalistic. You don't care what's good and right. You want your side to win. You're a hypocrite.
I think I'm just gonna block you and save myself the headache lol
Go back to 4chan.
Just Ask some more Questions, that’ll really make your position solid!
'Don't be a hypocrite' is as solid as it gets.
@Mango so I must have missed something but just use Nexus and then run lovers labs mods. That's all I did all the time. I don't know if the new Nexus app put restrictions on lovers labs mods but you should still be able to use it.
I haven't really bothered modding anything since Skyrim. Regardless, if I do, I won't really have anything to do with Nexus. Attention is money.
@Mango so are you saying if I don't give you attention, you don't get any money. But I'm ok with that.
