And they can, and if Nexus has a problem with hosting homophobic mods, they should be able to not host them
Yep. I just don’t get the outrage I guess. It’s like people are surprised racists and bigots exist.
I can absolutely understand these people being outraged when someone releases a mod that exists solely to erase them the same way they'd been erased from western media since western media was a thing.
I mean this is nothing new. Racism exists and it’s only natural that it spills over to mods. Just skip it and move on and fuck the haters. My point is that it’s better to just ignore than to give it attention. The attention is what the bigots are really after. Giving it to them is what they want. The mod creator that built this is absolutely loving how things are going here.
Ignoring racism and bigotry has literally never worked, outside of maintaining personal delusions. The more comfortable people are in their hatred, the more bold they become in acting on it. Slavery and genocide happen for a reason, and it's in part because people don't take that shit seriously until it's too late.
Ignoring it makes it seem like it's okay. Calling out bigotry is how we show people that it isn't acceptable.
I'm tired of being quiet about hateful content. I'll call it out and hope they get their nexus account banned if they keep it up. I'd rather review bomb it in force to show the public opinion.
