I got a good chuckle out of this one.

The guy was so mad about seeing a screen in a video game that he dedicated hours of his time to have it removed.

I respect the dedication but lol. Get a hobby.

It's crazy to me they'll say "it's just a small warning, ignore it it doesn't affect you" while at the same time removing a mod like this. Nexus Mods powertripping has been escalating and there isn't any reason to think it won't get worse. Kind of humorous how easily the freedom of modding gets subverted by people who say it should be limited by their political beliefs, which obviously goes against the spirit of modding.
Animal sex mods = okay, you do you.
Don't want to read some annoying warning = banned.

Imagine spending time to remove an innocuous message. How big of a snowflake can that person be?

This is common though. Splash/startup screen removal mods are easily found for a variety of titles E.g. https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedunity/mods/79, https://www.nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods/421, https://www.nexusmods.com/assassinscreedvalhalla/mods/6, https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/5359/, https://www.nexusmods.com/devilmaycry5/mods/1199/, and so on.

Guess it's alright to disable corporate stuff, just don't disable political messages in games - that's not on.

All the lines of code and cope on twitter could have made a new website by now.

Instead both sides seethe because they're grifters, so they deserve to be laughed at.

Certainly agree they could (and should) just make a new website. Not sure how making such a mod is grifting though considering it's free. As a platform Nexus Mods certainly has a financial interest in acting a certain way though.

If they don't make a new website, they're moaners and grifters. Make the mod, share, job done. No faffing around.

I quite literally don't understand how they are grifters though since they're not profiting from this. Unless you mean they're just grifting attention, in which case I get your point.

Nude mods don't go against leftist politics, this does. Pretty obvious to tell what the line in the sand is considering the repeated incidents of this on Nexus mods.

The hypocrisy is honestly what annoys me the most, it's the same reason I left reddit.

SJWs have been a cancer on the gaming industry, they Have already ruined Movies and TV.

I miss when all this identity politics crap wasn't in our games, I don't care if it's from the right or left.

As silly as getting offended by the snowflake that made the mod removing the innocuous warning, to the point of banning it.

Imagine that, a mod that nobody would even care about anyway.

Snowflakes everywhere.
Exactly. Yet some mentally challenged people call one side snowflakes while belonging to the other side (of snowflakes). In the end, we're all being annoyed by stupid American identity politics that are not left wing, but rather just fucking stupid.
