Since then Marvel Rivals Launched last month, the PC modding community has begun creating a litany of content for the shooter. new skins and changing the modelfor fresh beats To reach the end result for Luna Snow. But one of the largest modding communities online has found itself in the midst of a firestorm of death threats over the removal of a series of converted mods. Captain America to senior US politicians.
In general, many of the cosmetic mods Competitors The ones that appeared after the release are harmless – these are not server-side, but client-side changes, which means that only players who have installed the mod (the user himself or others compatible with him) will see it. You gave him Spider-Man Sam Raimi costumeor converted Iron Fist to Deku from My Hero Academia. But even so, a brouhaha erupted this week after one of the biggest mod sites online, Nexus Mods, banned a series of mods that replace Captain America’s heads with stylized renditions. President-elect Donald Trumpand current President Joe Biden.
While the mods themselves were pulled from Nexus last week on January 2nd, today the Nexus Mods X account released an extensive statement clarifying the decision after community moderators and site owners faced a wave of harassment and death threats over allegations of bias and censorship. . “In 2020, we updated our Terms of Service to remove any American political mods from our site.” reads in part. “By removing the Trump mod, we are simply enforcing our existing file submission policies. What is overlooked in most of the conversation is that we have also removed other mods of US presidents uploaded to the site. Marvel RivalsLike Biden and Obama.”
“While we have the right to choose what we post on our platform, we are not responsible for what you do or do not decide to mod your games, and these mods can be found on other sites,” the statement said. Before joining Nexus Mods terms of service page.
Earlier this week Reddit thread now locked Criticizing the decision, Nexus Mods owner TheDarkOne noted that several members of the Nexus Mods moderation team took abuse for removing the Trump mod, while also ignoring his decision to remove the Biden version. “For example, all the jerks coming out of the woodwork today sending us death threats, calling us pedos, and all the other wah wahs that come with this ridiculous situation because some YouTuber told them we were only deleting Trump mods. “
“This is so stupid and these people are so dumb that I really can’t give a fuck about it. I don’t expect any of my staff to have to deal with these things other than to show them the door,” TheDarkOne continued. “So we’re deleting all mods we’ve seen/reported to us on the topic, and all the people who are upset by this can trot out, because it’s not worth our time or concern.”
Suffice it to say, if you want Captain America to dive into some backstory as an actual figure in American politics (and again, that’s more for your own enjoyment than what poor strategists you’re hurting in the game), you’ll have to get your Fix elsewhere. But maybe you should ask yourself if Steve would agree before looking into them himself, and why not something infinitely cool and he has Marvel and Capcom Theme game when he uses his ult instead?
