Nowadays everything seems newsworthy... I would not be mad about it if Bethesda did not include a pronoun setting, i am not mad someone made a mod to remove said option, i am not mad nexus keeping its sovereignty to decide what they host...

What is everyone mad about? Just let ppl do whatever they do.

Exactly this. It's a game guys, not real life.

The way you worded this makes it look like you're against pronouns

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Ok, how am I against pronouns now? I agree with the fact that people should have personal preference whether they agree with having the pronoun feature in the game or not. It's not about being against pronouns, it's about freedom of individual choice.

Now, I'm not forcing them to reupload the mod. But, if a moderator just solely removes the mod based on their own political idealogy, then you're stripping the freedom away from everyone else. We can have a kill children mod but god forbid we have a remove pronouns mod.

I've used Nexus Mods for the past 6-7 years, I'm honestly just sad to see them take this route.

Nah man I totally agree, I just mean when you said "it's a game, not real life", some people could take it wrong. Nothing against you but I guess my message came across wrong too

I am, like, mildly upset about it being removed, at most. Seems like moderation team is going a bit overboard, deleting something that seems extremely mild.

Mind leach above made an extremely good point so I'm just gonna copy paste it.

Trolls escalate. They keep pushing until they get smacked down, then cry and scream and pretend they've been proven right. Being ignored doesn't just embolden them, it bores them, and tells them they need to get worse to get attention. No matter what happens - no matter what anyone says to them - they get to use it in their stupid little word game.

The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.

You have to simply get rid of it, and the sooner, the better.
