Any pushing of an agenda can be considered propaganda
The very fact that people have a problem with others opting out of this shows you it is an important agenda for many, it should not have made news that some people want to remove assets from their copy of a game
If I want to remove this with third party tools that don't impact anybody else's experience, I should be allowed to
Well like it was already said, at the end of the day these works are the creations of their creators. It's
their choice as to what goes into their games and the idea of making a mod to remove something they created to put in their own work, that removal having a clear political motivation, can be seen as a statement or "agenda" on behalf of the one making the mod, so the argument of any side pushing propaganda, goes both ways.
So ultimately which one you are partial to just shows which one you support, but by your logic, you are still supporting an agenda or "propaganda", just the one you prefer. But since this is ultimately a game creating by specific people, those specific people have the right to enforce their viewpoints with their works. Paying for the right to play a game is not the same as suddenly having the right to subvert the intended purpose, messages etc. of someone else's work in the name of voicing your own opinion.
To put it another way, a person purchasing a game does not suddenly own the right to alter that work, sample it. etc., at least not without the original creator's approval. Which this modder obviously did not have, so their attempt was shut down. They are still able to play their copy of the game, they can even be cheeky and implement those mods in their copy of the game if they want, or privately share them with others to do the same. That's what their purchase of that copy of the game effectively allows them to do. But the moment they try to use a public platform to host a mod that not only alters the original vision (by simply being a mod in the first place), but
ALSO does so in opposition to a message the original creator clearly stands behind, then they kind of get what's coming to them :/
Yeah gay shit is everywhere now I miss the 90's
Wat? There was 'gay shit' in the '90s too. Quite a bit of it. It just wasn't as mainstream.
I acknowledged this already and said I hope the other options people have for mod sharing are not as politically motivated with regards to micromanaging other people's experiences
The irony here being the mod itself is
politically motivated so by this logic, you are effectively saying the mod should not exist because if you desire for other avenues that would not remove the mod, that can be inferred as a way of saying either the places banning the mod should not ban them, or those places shouldn't exist because they ban them.
