What I'm trying to say though is that most of them just do make their character a guy and move on. They don't need the mod and the people who they think do need it aren't going to install it. It's not just a transparent attempt to ignite culture war arguments online, but it's a stupid and ineffective one.

The point of the mod is not to change something in game, its to appear in the list of mods and remind some people that they are hated and bigots will never stop hating them.

Its a weird "I was here, and I hated x people".

I have trouble imagining enough people wanting to download a mod to do this to get it to appear on anything but the most recent releases list, and to only be on that list long enough for some other mods to get released.

Well, the type of person that would do this wouldnt be opposed to spoofing the number as well. And they can just keep reuploading the mod so it's always appearing in the list.

The point is, their ineffective methods still worked a little. Ruining someone's day, hour or even minute is validation enough
