    so many of the replies read like entries to a libertarian contest. and in traditional fashion it seems they forgot to actually read your comment. it’s nice to see a post that understands why the mod is a problem and explains it well, even if so many in the replies seem unable to grasp it.

      ‘the mod is a problem’.

      Only if you give a fuck, which is far too prevalent in the world. Could be swapping men for women, blacks for whites, whites for blacks and whatever other combination, the real question is, why do you care who thinks what?

      I’m truly for all free expression, the world is too concerned with every fucking thing these days, it’s an illness.

        you’re acting like things can’t harm people if they don’t care about them. this is not the case.

        why do you care who thinks what?

        because people’s thoughts influence their actions

          Not to shit on you (well maybe as little) but the guy has a point.

          You want them to not care. Doesn’t that go both ways? If some edgy straight horny teen wants more straight tiddies and less gay in his game, who the fuck cares?

          Cause let’s be honest, that’s what we’re talking about here. Teens and desperate 30 year olds.

          And don’t you think what you imply is scary?

          And with that I mean : “people’s thoughts influence their actions”

          I fucking hope so.

          And who are you to tell them what is right and what is wrong?

            no. not everything goes both ways. some things are bad, and should not be tolerated.

            And don’t you think what you imply is scary?

            no i don’t, what about it do you find scary?

            And with that I mean : “people’s thoughts influence their actions” I fucking hope so. And who are you to tell them what is right and what is wrong?

            just so we’re clear, the context of this statement is me saying “i care about people having racist/homophobic thoughts because people’s thoughts influence their actions”. so, again just to be clear, the “what” that is being discussed is “racism/homophobia”.

            in context, your reply reads “i fucking hope so, who are you to tell them racism/homophobia is right or wrong?”.

            You know how in the US they aim to remove everything about racism, black history and rewrite native history in many states? This is one front of bigotry. Another one is to remove the visibility in arts and culture. One angle is to remove and supress works created by people from minorities. The other is to remove minority characters from works of fiction.

            And at the end of that culture war, when the “ideal” mainstream society is created in the heads it is creates in the real world by persecution of the excluded minorities.

            And while the modder has the right to mod how he sees fit, it is perfectly justified for the platform to not help him distribute it. And in such it is different from mods turning mainstream characters into minority characters because it has no negative consequences for peopledown the line.

            Well, when the mod author specifically says it’s to reduce diversity as the goal of the mod I think we all have a chance to point out that is insensitive and comes from a place of hatred. Hatred is wrong. Let the people speak against it and let the website host what it wants. I care enough to spend two min to leave a comment here, but I’m not gonna be a reaction youtuber about it.
