But one of the largest modding communities online has found itself in the midst of a firestorm of death threats for removing a series of transformative mods Captain America Among the top US politicians.
By and large, a lot of cosmetic mods for rival The ones that have popped up since release are harmless—they’re client-side changes rather than server-side, meaning that only players who have installed the mod (either the user themselves or others with a match that has it installed) will see that you’ve given Spider-Man his Sam Raimi Suitsor become Iron Fist in Deku from My Hero Academia. But even so, a brouhaha erupted this week after one of the biggest online mod sites, Nexus Mods, banned a series of mods that turned heads for stylized representations of Captain America. President-elect Donald Trumpand current President Joe Biden.
Mods were removed from Nexus last week on January 2, today the Nexus Mods X account released an extended statement clarifying the decision, while community moderators and site owners found themselves facing harassment and death threats for claims of favoritism and censorship. “In 2020 we will update our terms of service to state that we will remove American political mods from our site,” the statement said. falls in part. “By removing the Trump mod, we are simply enforcing our existing file submission policies. What has been overlooked in most of the conversation is that we have also removed other mods featuring US presidents uploaded to the site. Marvel rivalsLike Biden and Obama.”

“It’s so dumb, and these people are so dumb, that I can’t really fuck with it. I don’t expect any of my staff to handle these sleazy tasks other than showing them the door,” TheDarkOne continued. “So all the mods we See/delete what is reported to us about this, and all these upset people can trot-on because it’s not worth our time or effort to care.”
