This post is about the current arguements taking place in the post called “Nexus
Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod” If the
primary objective here is to engage in constructive dialogue, then name-calling
and overgeneralization serve no purpose and only fuel the fire. The issue at
hand has been conflated to be about political affiliations like Republican vs.
Democrat, when that’s not the core point of discussion at all. We’re here to
debate the merits and drawbacks of mod removal, not to stereotype one another
based on our political leanings or otherwise. The aim of this post is to
encourage a constructive and respectful discussion around mod removals in gaming
communities. Name-calling, political labeling, and overgeneralization serve only
to fuel divisiveness and distract from the main issue. Rather than resorting to
stereotypes or making sweeping statements about each other’s viewpoints, let’s
aim to engage in a balanced and open dialogue that acknowledges the complexities
of the subject matter. We all have strong feelings about this topic, but
constructive conversations require that we steer clear of actions that deepen
divisions.
For everyone reading this, if you have thoughts or opinions on the subject, please direct them to the original post to centralize the discussion. Thank you.
I would like to see more peoples perspectives to try and achieve a middle ground with whether the mod should be kept or not.
I can’t confirm it but some comments in that post state that the mod author was spewing bigotry, transphobia, etc. In the description of the mod, in which case, it absolutely should’ve been taken down, regardless of the actual content of the mod. That being said, they are a privately owned website and they can choose what they will and won’t host; even without the mod description, it is justified.
Thank you for your input. Could you please post your comment on the original post? It would be more constructive to have all viewpoints and discussions centralized there for a more comprehensive dialogue.

these types of mods are posted in bad faith to generate controversy so its not surprising when they get removed
