No, I would not like to debate. Debating would be futile. I've looked through your comment history, and I don't believe that it would be worth my time. You want to bitch and complain cause the woke police are coming after your vidyas, then go for it, but you are on the wrong side of the argument, and you won't find many good-hearted people over there. Life is hard enough as it is. I implore you to rethink your positions on pronouns, gender identity, and sexual identity. Those that appreciate choices like these in the game are the people that are having some of the hardest times in their lives. They don't need you to come in and tell them that you feel like their decisions aren't valid, especially when it has zero actual affect on your life. Don't want to set a pronoun? Then fucking don't. That's your choice. But when you support mods and the bigots that create them that try to limit the abilities of those that need to have some comfort in their life, those that need to know that society is moving towards a broader acceptance of their identity, then you are the bad person, and that's how the world at large sees you. Be a better fucking person than that.
I agree that platforms like Nexus Mods have a responsibility to consider the broader societal impact of the content they host. However, they also have a responsibility to preserve the freedoms that have made such platforms valuable to so many. The challenge lies in finding a balanced approach, which is never easy.
It's worth mentioning that I fully support your right to view and critique mods based on their societal impact. At the same time, it should be acceptable for others to evaluate these mods based on different criteria, such as user freedom, without being labeled as "bad persons."
Would it not be more constructive for us to have an open dialogue on how to balance these competing interests rather than dismissing each other's viewpoints outright?
No, I don't want an open dialogue with bigots.
OK fine, I don't want to argue with someone who's obviously closed minded and can't debate on simple issues.
Keep it classy bro.
Fine. We'll keep it simple and set the facts. I'll even let you define the problem. Tell me. What does this mod do?
