Hahahahhahahaha

I'm talking about SOCIAL REPERCUSSIONS you dumb shit. Advertisers pulling their ADs, their CDN disappearing over night, the media throwing a shit fit if they started hosting anti-woke or nazi mods.

SOCIAL REPERCUSSIONS is that the site will be dead cause they've become censorship central instead of modding - which you dont even understand is what people do personally with their personal games
so get fricked with your cancer cancel "culture"

>Do you really think removing nazi, rape, e-girl or anti-woke mods will EVER even make the tiniest dent in their bottom line?
Yes.
It exists therefore there is a market for it.

>Do you really think that a site will die because they ban stuff that the vast majority of users, either, has no interest in or would also want banned?
That's right, troon. Every normal person certainly agrees with YOU.

He's right though, if you allow this content then *flash* a few months later and your entire site is full of mods like "This turn Doom's demons into Black folk, trannies and israelites" and the comment section is full of people spamming profanities. And then your site now has a terrible reputation which is stained forever.

Websites shouldn't be forced to display material they deem objectionable, same reason you aren't allowed to go spray paint swastikas on my house.

Read the rest of the post.
>Whether you're successful for not is not relevant. The problem is that you tried, and that in and of itself is criminal behavior.
Why are you trying to tell people that something is offensive? They'll know if it's offensive to them or not. They don't need you to try to sway them one way or the other. Even making the attempt is evil behavior on your part.

>how is telling somebody what to think an attempt to tell them what to think?
Are you fricking braindead?

>whether or not you were successful is not relevant, the problem is that you tried
Read it again. And again. And again. Yes, a person can ignore your propaganda and think for themselves. That does not make your attempt at propagandizing any less immoral. You should not have tried. If you shoot a gun at me and I avoid it, you're still guilty and going to prison.

nah, he's right. you're just a moron.

>You may be an autistic robot that does as you're told
Read the post again. Try six more times, while you're at it. Whether or not you're successfully brainwashing anybody is not the point. The problem is that you're trying to brainwash people.

>whether or not they want to use the given context as a lens
It's not up to you to provide that. How are you not seeing that this is a massive issue? Would you want the people you perceive as enemies to have the ability to provide "context" to everything that people watch, play and read?

>You still haven't explained how it's an attempt to remove their ability to think critically.
Because it's a splash screen that shows up before you see the game that tells you how to feel about the game before you've seen it. If you aren't willing to admit that that's a dishonest tactic, that means you're simply dishonest yourself.

>I would much rather
Not relevant. We're talking about what should be done, and what SHOULD be done is neither. No coerced "contextualizing" and no censorship. Allow people to think for themselves.

>What is dishonest about it?
Because it attempts to frame the content. That's inherently dishonest behavior. It's like if somebody invited you to an interview, and then framed every response you gave with a "here's why anon is actually wrong" before and after you spoke. They have a moral responsibility to allow you to speak for yourself uninterrupted, and they're depriving you of that right. That's what this splash screen is attempting to do. Let the work speak for itself. If the viewer chooses to be offended, then they can. Telling the viewer that they SHOULD be offended is dishonest and wrong.

>there is no responsibility for them to give you the unaltered work with no disclaimer
Yes, there objectively is.

>What is dishonest about it? You can choose to ignore it but a private company has no reason not to warn its customers about potentially upsetting content. I would agree with you if they were engaging in censorship, but they didn't.
It seems you've forgotten it, after you finally read it. So read it again.

what books were they burning, rabbi?

What are you losing by having stereotypes contextualizes? What is the equivalency to mugged money here?

>UM CHUD YOU SEEM TO THINK OUR PLAN IS ONE OF CENSORSHIP! YOU'RE BEING SILLY. WHAT WE PROPOSE TO DO IS NOT TO CONTROL CONTENT, BUT TO CREATE CONTEXT!
>but ackshully we're also going to just censor stuff too by the way

That's bullshit because ingame the patriots also wanted to control content. That line never made sense.

>That line never made sense.
it's almost like they were lying through their teeth. crazy stuff, innit?

>meanwhile white women
I don't wanna see you complain about ugly characters anymore since you seem to like accuracy

Excuse me sweaty, you need to put a content warning on this post because it's portraying a harmful stereotype. This is not okay.

I want her to fart on my chest

your opinion doesn't matter, as proven many many times by the fact that devs haven't been pandering to you for 15 years now

not him but this is why I don't purchase triple shit games now

>baby opinions are the most important by extreme margin, illustrated by the fact the most restricted content is such to cater to them as a group.

see

nah, We'll mod it out, thanks anyway, Black person.

Keep seething troony.

nice bait you moronic Black person

I'll stay. Sorry if that, uh, "triggers" you.

Oh I'm sorry, does complaining about it "trigger" you?

You sound pretty triggered right now.

Yep, triggered.

you are not even 'game community' you are just another totalitarian leftist who wants to enforce your shitty ideology on everything and everyone

you are a vile leftist propagandist and everyone is already sick of your lies and forcing your ideology donwn everyones throat

nice bait you moronic Black person

troony's don't remove and ban mods, Black person homosexual. Try again, lol.

So freedom of speech means you can come into my home and put a massive sign on my roof that says "I HATE Black folk"? Because that's the same thing as asking a private company (Nexus) to display material they don't like on their site.

We're not talking about something written in a fictional novel, we're talking about a public statement, a claim. This is why I left you behind in the last thread, because you keep pulling this false equivalence. A fictional character saying "kill all Black folk" and an author writing a non-fictional call to action saying "kill all Black folk" is two different things.

Nice meme you slanderous autists.

post a picture of the said option

that's not inside of the game though

I'm not sure I follow. You need only do that once if convenience is the issue.

You can do the same outside of steam.

>a launch option
A command line argument, actually.

Still no reason not to make a copy-over mod for it. Convenience is its own virtue.

your picture is anti-semitic and needs to be taken down, goy!

all bigots are anti-semites, goy. simple as

I'm left wing, you stupid bigoted anti-semite goy

>bigoted
>anti-semite
>goy
I'm literally the opposite of those things you neo nazi moron

Haha. You dont culture very well.

You are conflating the two. You are mashing them together to make a false point. We are talking about the games. The warning is not saying anything about the creators. It is saying the games contain uncouth content. You are desperate to say it is a jab at core. But you are just wrong.

>analogies. What are they?
Do you not know how to make an arguement? You keep saying "this is a company attack" i am saying it is not. That like similar situations, it is not.

Because you are conflating. I am making a lateral movement. You are making a broad statement. I am saying art and artists are seperate. You are saying all art is a direct replica of the creators and that we should be upset over nothing.

Because they are covering their ass from bad press. Why does old looney tunes shorts have them? Because some were racist.

they're feminists

So it's not needed? That sounds incredibly redundant. What legalities do they avoid by including the message and why doesn't every game include one?

>bad faith
This is the problem. If you can categorize anything that you don't like as being in 'bad faith' then you don't really have to engage with the argument, or it makes for a reason to excuse bad behavior and "well lets just not listen to them anymore, don't you know they're a X making a bad faith argument about Y". Its too convenient. The mod being made as a statement is fine. Imagine if before a remaster of FF7 came out and there was a large splash screen saying
>This game contains violence against women, in a way that that invites comparison to violent sexual abuse. Its depiction is reprehensible but it would be even more misogynistic to obfuscate as it applies to hateful ideology that many women suffer under patriarchy. It was created at a different time and does not show the values of Square Enix today and we do not contest the harm it does, and continues to do, today
over Aerith's death at the hands of Sephiroth. That would be garbage and it would create a system where there would have to be a warning for whatever empty headed sociology 101 objection someone could come up with for any game. Mario rescued Peach from Bowser? EVIL MISOGYNY! Any game whre you give gifts to potential love interests to raise their favor as a mechanic? RAPE CULTURE COMMODITIZATION AND ENTITLEMENT TO WOMENS BODIES! Is there a black character who isn't a mary sue who don't need no man? RACIST JUSTIFICATION OF STEREOTYPES!

The idea that you should have to sit through a "THIS IS BAD" for any media that doesn't gel with the most pearl clutching politically correct examples of what's appropriate now is asinine. They could have made a reasonable neutral splash screen, but they didn't and I see no problem with someone modding it out, just as much as any other sort of mods not being allowed for ideological reasons. The big boob mods being removed had a larger gameplay presence , but as far as their removal is concerned both are equal.

No one saw the tribal enemies in Tomb Raider and thought "wow they think all Africans look and act like this". It's not a false equivalence because both cases of "offensive material" are absolute projections on the part of the person claiming to be offended. You have to bend over backwards to rationalize a world in which Tomb Raider is offensive.

I'll realize you're a fricking little b***h

No, they didn't. The claim was made that they did, and that's a false claim. Do you see the problem now? In your world, anyone can enact any change by claiming to be "offended" on behalf of somebody else. What you're doing is the equivalent of allowing braindead whites to enforce "latinx" on Spanish speaking cultures despite them not wanting anything to do with that ridiculous nonsense.

Black people don't get offended by video games and whine about them. You're describing the behavior of wealthy college "educated" middle aged white women.

>educated" middle aged white women

It's amazing how white racism is pushed by both sides. No it's just not "middle age white women" pushing this crap. Loads of "POC" are pushing this.

>scope by israeli interest groups.

So not only did you push white hate twice ( the latinx and black posts) you now throw in israeli hate.

Me thinks you are brainwashed yourself

Not at all. You are, though. israelites are the problem and anyone claiming otherwise is speaking in bad faith.

Nah, I don't think I own anyone of my race. I think anybody who falls short of having integrity should be ousted from every respective group they claim to belong to. They should never be allowed to act as a "voice" for anybody. That's my point here. Dumb people should be deprived of the ability to speak for anybody, in every case.

I'm right and I have integrity. If you feel personally attacked by anything I've said, then analyze and fix yourself.

Having a cogent argument to support my conclusion is what makes me right.

>The only thing I know is I know nothing.
You can't wave that flag now after you've already chosen to be adversarial.

>Hating on white women and israeli people
Never happened. You're projecting now because you got proven wrong and can't address the actual substance.

have you seen our liberal women? it makes me hate being "white" too even though they're all fricking israelites

>Apparently people did though.
Who?

you didn't even bother replying to the guy who blew you the frick out permanently.

>Why do they put the dont pirate warnings
because they don't want you to do that.
so you admit they don't want you to like the game by putting their shitty warnings that piss on the devs who made the originals?

Because hr wrote it the way they did. It basically reads like what you wrote. Anything else is projection on the pissed parties fault.

So you dont know then and you are schizoing out about it. Just be honest.

please enlighten me over lord feminist I'm too ignorant to understand why

The reason for the mods existence is why it was taken down. Crybabies are mad a warning is in the game and are desperate to argue their childhood was great.

The ones who made the mod instead of just hitting x. Sounds sad to me. A 3 second screen scared so many "men"

>goalpost shift time.
I do not disagree with that point. You can do what you want with your game, but that is their website. Like others said. Go to another one.

>used to be a good website.
Subjective.

Not that anon, but the problem with Nexus is their hypocrisy and inability to consistently enforce the rules. In the old days, Nexus permitted the vast majority of content provided it didn't violated posted rules in direct manners. Hosting them mods in a singular repository plus the other tools (many open source) gave them usage and through ads and subscriptions allowed them to profit. Hosting stuff in their adult section for witcher or skyrim or whatever the frick did not mean the were endorsing any particular mod or content. Anything that fit the rules was allowed.

Fast forward to recent years where either the old owners had a change of heart or new mods/admins were added and they are on a moral crusade . They remove anything they dont' personally like, and allow things they do to stay, using shitty justifications. "oh its trolling ,its spam it etc.." whenever its something they don't like ideologically, no matter how its presented. The spiderman thing was the crux of the issue where they both denied the mod that changed the rainbow flags to pride ones, but were more than happy to host a variety of mods to change flags into the "new' pride flags and all sorts of other garbage. Same way they removed mods that changed the skintone, sex or gender, or voices in one regard (ie ser Aylin, white options for Wyll etc) but were more than happy to go the other direction. That's what's annoying about their viewpoint and how they govern their site - especially that they only changed to this after they were a major pillar of the community for mod hosting

Its like painting with a large brush is stupid. No?

Nothing racist about the tribesmen, they really were cannibal savages dude.

Being disingenuous again.

Then why couldn't it just say "this game contains content some viewers may deem offensive" instead of shitting on the original devs?

Because it didnt shit on the devs. Where does it say the devs in the warning?

Point 1. Why do they have to be white? I see what argument you are planning to make. You are trtingto conflate again. The modder is chosing to make a mod that removes blacks. Author would need to justify their change. And not something weak like "tolken had no blacl dwarfs" or something.
Point 2. That is a lot of projection. It is more "oh. This looka kind of racist. I doubt they meant it that way. Lets put on a disclaimer. " you would be surprised how many people just accept things without thinking about it. Kind of sad really.

The post says
>Unless Wyll HAS to be black? Why does Wyll HAVE to be black? Why do there HAVE to be black dwarves, or black anything?
Why not black?

1. I'm not conflating anything as you haven't been speaking to me until now. The author does not have to justify anything.
2. They are speaking with a tone of objective morality, of denigration and condemnation of the creators of the original creation for being problematic according to their own "objective" understanding of morality.

[...]
This is already not a middleground. There was never going to be a middleground. There was never going to be both sides sitting at a table. They have long since chosen to please one side, their own side. This is just a more insidious method of their typical actions.

[...]
No, people should be executed based on a pervasive behavior of systemic underhanded ideologically based subversive behavior in service of things that want to take my freedoms and destroy me and things of beauty. There is no irony here, they want to kill me so I want to kill them.

The author makes a mod that can be seen as racist. Gets upset when people see it as racist. Surprised pikachu face. Their tone is none of what you said. It speaks more about you than what was disclaimed.

You're thinking in legalities, this is a principle. They sided with the State "progressive" ideology, which is just Bolshevism for idiots. Frick them, they should be shot along with their corporate masters.

By definition, you're are homosexual, and I don't disagree with that. Based.
