Nexus Mods, a popular modding platform, finds itself at the center of a heated debate after removing over 500 user-submitted modifications for the game Marvel Rivals within a single month. The controversy ignited when mods replacing Captain America's head with images of Joe Biden and Donald Trump were taken down.
Nexus Mods' owner, known as TheDarkOne, clarified the situation in a private Reddit discussion. He stated that both the Biden and Trump mods were removed simultaneously to prevent accusations of partisan favoritism. TheDarkOne expressed frustration that this seemingly unbiased action has been selectively highlighted by some YouTubers.
The situation escalated further when TheDarkOne revealed a subsequent barrage of threats and abusive messages directed at the platform. He reported receiving death threats and accusations of pedophilia, attributing the vitriol to individuals exploiting the controversy.
This isn't the first time Nexus Mods has faced backlash over mod removals. A 2022 incident saw the removal of a Spider-Man Remastered mod that replaced rainbow flags with American flags. At the time, the platform publicly affirmed its commitment to inclusivity and its policy of removing content deemed discriminatory.
TheDarkOne concluded by stating that Nexus Mods will not engage with those who oppose its stance on inclusivity.
