    It’s about not providing a platform to people looking to only make a bigoted political statement. This isn’t a mod for the game as much as it is a statement about who installs it.

      I guess that makes sense. So then it wouldn’t be bigoted if, say, someone made that mod for themselves and didn’t upload it, right?
