Lol, what a joke. This is censorship. Modding means complete freedom.

This isn't news.

Nexus is bad and you shouldn't try to upload anything slightly edgy there at all.

This is a new level of bad though. First it was about pride flags and race swaps and stuff. Trump himself is now seen as offensive/hate speech?? Wtf? This is very obviously "Anything wokies don't like". But yeah not a giant surprise I guess.

Just host your mods anywhere else lol. Github, sourceforge, hell even a VPS are all right there

Lol, but if it was Joe Biden it would be considered okay. It's a whole new level of cancel culture from wokies.

I don't think the president mandates what mods are acceptable for video games.

Let me know when you're back from space.

The mod got taken down because someone replaced Captain America with Trump. I bet if someone replaced Captain America with Joe Biden it would've been okay.

Then, all but borderline porn will be banned. just an assumption

That's how private corporations work: You have to follow their terms and services, and they can be interpreted as they see fit when it comes to censorship.

There is no free speech on the internet. It's best to source your mods from a secondary location so you have access to everything

You're free to make your own mod site, as others have, and Nexus is free to host what they want on their site.

this is censorship

No it isn't. They're not preventing anyone from distributing their mods elsewhere.

It's not because it is specifically Trump. From the submission guidelines[help.nexusmods.com]:

Please note: As of 28th September we've imposed a blanket ban on mods relating to sociopolitical issues in the United States of America. This ban applies to all mods uploaded after 28th September 2020. After review we have decided to extend the ban on such mods indefinitely.

I'm guessing the site is run by the same people who want such subject matter banned here too. There are grandfathered Trump mods from before that date.

Well it's a broader problem with Nexus mods I mean starfield pronounce removing mods were banned, collections mod authors didn't have any control if their mods where put in a collection ... a lot of authors just removed their mods

[Plaid]

Not so much a comment on the video but, why do so many mods make Nexus their home instead of ModDB? Is there some sort of issue?
