Nexus mods is a site that I used to use all the time for all of my modding needs. I remember first discovering the site, when I was looking for some mods for Dragon Age, and was just amazed at some of the stuff I found there. Like a redesign mod for the game, a mod that made any class able to open up locked chest with a bash option, and things like that.

In fact, I would say that every gamer out there knows what this site is. Afterall it is the go too for all of your modding needs. They even have a subscription based service where you can pay a monthly fee for uncapped download speeds. And this subscription also came with a mod manager called Vortex, so instead of having to manually install the mods into the games folders, the mod manager took care of it.

! [Spanish]Nexus mods es un sitio que solía usar todo el tiempo para todas mis necesidades de modificación. Recuerdo que descubrí el sitio por primera vez, cuando estaba buscando algunas modificaciones para Dragon Age, y me sorprendieron algunas de las cosas que encontré allí. Como un mod de rediseño para el juego, un mod que hacía que cualquier clase pudiera abrir un cofre cerrado con una opción de bash, y cosas así.
De hecho, diría que todos los jugadores saben qué es este sitio. Después de todo, también es ideal para todas tus necesidades de modificación. Incluso tienen un servicio basado en suscripción donde puedes pagar una tarifa mensual por velocidades de descarga ilimitadas. Y esta suscripción también venía con un administrador de mods llamado Vortex, por lo que en lugar de tener que instalar manualmente los mods en las carpetas de juegos, el administrador de mods se encargó de ello.

It was a site that seemed to be made in heaven, that was until a couple of years ago when they decided to start taking sides in the culture war, despite claiming they werent.

There’s plenty of games out there that include things just so they can be “diverse”, and the Spiderman game was one of those things. In the game you can find LGBT flags, and murals over the place, and some people didn’t like this. So they uploaded a mod from a burner account to Nexus Mods that removes these things. And what did Nexus Mods do? They banned the burner account, the main account and removed the mod. They said that if the user uploaded it from a main account that they would have just removed it, but this was apparently done as a troll attempt.

! [Spanish]Era un sitio que parecía hecho en el cielo, eso fue hasta hace un par de años cuando decidieron comenzar a tomar partido en la guerra cultural, a pesar de afirmar que no lo eran.
Hay muchos juegos que incluyen cosas para que puedan ser "diversos", y el juego de Spiderman fue una de esas cosas. En el juego puedes encontrar banderas LGBT y murales sobre el lugar, y a algunas personas no les gustó esto. Así que subieron un mod de una cuenta grabadora a Nexus Mods que elimina estas cosas. ¿Y qué hizo Nexus Mods? Prohibieron la cuenta desechable, la cuenta principal y eliminaron el mod. Dijeron que si el usuario lo subió desde una cuenta principal, simplemente lo habrían eliminado, pero aparentemente esto se hizo como un intento de troll.

But was that actually true? Would Nexus mods only have removed the mod? Well no, because you see the same thing happened with the game Hogwarts Legacy. Hogwarts Legacy is a perfect example of the anti cancel culture crowd. Despite the numerous cries for boycotts, it succeeded in sales.

Now in the game there is a trans character called Sirona Ryan, which there’s a whole other controversy there as people against the game thought it was the devs making fun of trans people as the name sounds like Sir Ryan, who is a trans Male to Female. As soon as you talk to this character you know something is up by the tone of the voice. Well, a modder found the issue had to do with the pitch found in the game files and fixed it up and Sirona Ryan sounded a lot more feminine. Well, Nexus Mods didn’t like this and banned the user, and the mod.

! [Spanish]¿Pero era eso realmente cierto? ¿Los mods de Nexus solo habrían eliminado el mod? Pues no, porque veréis que pasó lo mismo con el juego Hogwarts Legacy. Hogwarts Legacy es un ejemplo perfecto de la cultura anti-cancelación. A pesar de los numerosos gritos de boicot, logró ventas.
Ahora en el juego hay un personaje trans llamado Sirona Ryan, lo cual genera otra controversia ya que las personas en contra del juego pensaron que eran los desarrolladores quienes se burlaban de las personas trans, ya que el nombre suena como Sir Ryan, que es un hombre trans a una mujer. . Tan pronto como hablas con este personaje, sabes que algo pasa por el tono de voz. Bueno, un modder descubrió que el problema tenía que ver con el tono que se encontraba en los archivos del juego y lo arregló y Sirona Ryan sonaba mucho más femenina. Bueno, a Nexus Mods no le gustó esto y prohibió al usuario y al mod.

Most recently we had Nexus Mods strike a 3rd time when it came to Starfield. This was another game there was some controversy around. A lot of people were going to say it would be woke because of the pronoun option in the game, but in all honesty it really isn’t. A few woke moments don’t make a game woke. However, a modder came forward and created a mod that removed this option. And what did Nexus Mods do? Did you say ban the modder and remove the mod? If you said yes, you are correct.

! [Spanish]Más recientemente, tuvimos Nexus Mods atacando por tercera vez en lo que respecta a Starfield. Este fue otro juego en torno al cual hubo cierta controversia. Mucha gente iba a decir que se despertaría debido a la opción de pronombre en el juego, pero, sinceramente, no es así. Unos pocos momentos de despertar no hacen que un juego despierte. Sin embargo, un modder se presentó y creó un mod que eliminó esta opción. ¿Y qué hizo Nexus Mods? ¿Dijiste prohibir al modder y eliminar el mod? Si dijiste que sí, tienes razón.

Now if Nexus mods wanted to ban all mods relating to Gender Identity Politics, I’d be all for it. In fact I’d praise them for it. Fair treatment across the board I say. But that isn’t the case, because if you take a scroll through their website you’ll find mods that turn things “LGBT Friendly” like the “Trans Women of Skyrim mod.”

Throughout this entire thing, Nexus Mods have been trying to act all high and mighty, like they’re the good guys and not the hypocrites they actually are. For instance, they cross the line at a mod that removes LGBT flags for a game, but are fine with a mod that turns Dragon Age into a softcore porno. Makes perfect sense right?

! [Spanish]Ahora bien, si los mods de Nexus quisieran prohibir todos los mods relacionados con la política de identidad de género, estaría totalmente de acuerdo. De hecho, los elogiaría por ello. Trato justo en todos los ámbitos, digo. Pero ese no es el caso, porque si navegas por su sitio web encontrarás modificaciones que convierten las cosas en "LGBT Friendly", como el "mod Trans Women of Skyrim".
A lo largo de todo este asunto, Nexus Mods ha estado tratando de actuar con todo su poder, como si fueran los buenos y no los hipócritas que en realidad son. Por ejemplo, cruzan la línea con un mod que elimina las banderas LGBT de un juego, pero están de acuerdo con un mod que convierte Dragon Age en una película porno suave. Tiene mucho sentido ¿verdad?

It was because of these actions that I stopped using the site. It’s just something that I can not support morally or ethically. I hate hypocrites, and I’d be damned if I give them any business.

As an old middle school friend of mine would say, Nexus Mods not only sucks, but they suck and swallow!

For more of my thoughts, check out the video below!

! [Spanish]Fue por estas acciones que dejé de usar el sitio. Es simplemente algo que no puedo apoyar ni moral ni éticamente. Odio a los hipócritas y que me condenen si les doy algún negocio.
Como diría un viejo amigo mío de la escuela secundaria, Nexus Mods no solo apesta, ¡sino que chupa y traga!

Curiosly I was talking with a friend about this last night, IMO, the difference is, why would you want to remove a random LGBT flag on a random place in a game? when you go outside and casually find a LGBT flag around there do you get offended by just looking at it?, it's an element that could exist on real world and videogames, same as trans people, same as sex lmfao.

You can't try to negate/hide the existence of a minority, and I do not approve cheap representation clearly based on a executive decision like 95% of companies in june, but I don't think any of the mods Nexus Mods have deleted can be defended, unless you have a problem with some flags.

But they can be defended. We are talking about, as you said cheap representation. When some people play a game they just want to play the game, not everyone wants to be looking at LGBT flags, whether that is because they just don't want to, personal beliefs, or religious beliefs.

The mod to remove the flags is no worse than the other mods I have mentioned in the post. No one is trying to negate/hide the existence of a "minority" but not everyone wants to be pelted with that stuff in video games.

These things are put in the game just to say "hey look what we've got," The LGBT community plays no role in the game whatsoever so the flags are just there to be shoehorned in.

If the game did focus on an LGBT aspect, such as a character who is a part of the community, then yeah, it's more understanding.

If the mod in question says replace the flags with flags that said a slur
then there would be no defending it. All it did was remove the flags.

The fact that Nexus Mods claims they are not taking sides yet continually get rid of mods like said Spiderman one, shows they're liars.

I'm sure it must be annoying to play Marvel's Spiderman and finding LGBT flags everywhere

At the point that there are SO MANY FLAGS that people asked for the location of some of them because they can't find any.

Again, i'm totally against cheap representation, and you say that:

If the game did focus on an LGBT aspect, such as a character who is a part of the community, then yeah, it's more understanding.

But if that was the case, then the complains would be about the "totally obvious and woke message", there is no good rep for you lmao, but if that's your opinion, nothing to do there.

No it wouldn't be. Woke doesn't mean everything LGBT related. Do you see people complaining about games like LiS for being "woke"? No, because it makes it clear what the game is about.

And it doesn't matter if there are "SO MANY FLAGS" the fact is, some people don't want to see that when they play their game.

As I said, Nexus Mods took a side in the culture war, but instead of admitting it, they pussy foot around it. If you honestly think that having a mod that turns Dragon Age into a softcore porn is perfectly acceptable, but think that having a mod that removes LGBT flags arent, well I suppose this conversation is done cause I doubt either of us are going to change are stance on the subject.
