        Does it? It’s a silly mod to have anyways. If it was lumped in with an entire intro-skip I’d understand but just this bit says a lot.

                Who cares if nexusmods looks “weak” LMAO. This isn’t geopolitics it’s literally a website

                  It makes them look weak. Removing a mod all it does is to remove a disclaimer.

                  How am I wrong?

                    It doesn’t make them look weak at all. You need to dial back the stubborn machismo, and reconsider what being strong is.

                    A company that realizes the choices they made decades ago were inappropriate, and adds an apology later is strong.

                    Standing up and speaking out against someone who goes out of their way to promote sand share racism, is strong.

                    Getting upset because you agree with the racism and you don’t like people telling you that you’re the bad guy, and needing to remove all evidence that you’re a piece of shit is weak.

                    Be better. Don’t confuse being cruel and stubborn with strength.

                It makes them look weak.

                How?

                You seem to have this outlook that because a mod is “silly”, it can’t be removed.

                I have the outlook that if it’s so silly nobody should care, then why do you care it was removed?

                Not only that, your hyperfixtation on specifically this mod. This is the silly mod you pick.

                Am I not supposed to be suspicious that this is the hill you die on? How many small mods get removed from nexusmods on any given day?

                Lmao, it doesn’t make them look weak. It makes them look strong – standing up against subtle bigotry and dogwhistles despite potential backlash?

                I’d say that’s strong.

                Someone trying to make a mod (that reproduces built-in functionality) to use as a platform to essentially promote racism? That’s incredibly weak. It screams “I can’t handle people or companies being more socially aware than me”.

                And then whining about it on social media? That’s also weak. Host it yourself (not you specifically) if making that mod is so important to you.

                But punching down is never “strong”. It’s always weak. That mod is punching down. Making that mod is punching down. Wanting or using that mod is punching down. Weak.

        If there is already a launch command to skip the disclaimer (as said in the Twitter thread you linked) then that mod literally only existed as a soapbox for the person that uploaded it to whine about how CD said the games have offensive depictions of people while a better method to hide it already shipped with the game.

          People who don’t see the mod has a problem. Seeing all the mod does is remove a disclaimer. Also we are talking about mod. Something you have to go out of your way to find and use.

            Then go distribute the mod somewhere else. Why are you so dependant on Nexusmods?
