I don't see the big deal about the pronoun mods. You have to download and install it. Just don't download the mods.
By the same token, I don't see a big deal about the pronoun choice. Just choose She/Her or He/Him. You don't have to choose They/Their.
Exactly. So whats the big hullabuloo here? Let people mod their single player game the way they want.
And its not like the player doesn't kill hundreds in a normal play through, pronouns seem like a minor thing in comparison.
People are welcome to mod games in whatever way they want, but Nexusmods has zero obligation to host anything, let alone content that violates their TOS.
That's fair, they don't have that obligation.
Just feels like an odd mod to ban.
It's not the first time they banned mods like this. Nexus had the same shit storm last year when they banned Spiderman mods that tried to remove pride flags. It's mentioned in the same article here as well.
The only reason it is getting this much outrage is because of the same reason last time, this is the hottest game on the market right now, just like Spiderman was when it came out for the first time on PC.
That you think it's "odd" for Nexus to remove a bigoted anti-trans mod is such a red flag lol.
