The site says it stands for ‘diversity and inclusion' and wants to promote a ‘positive modding community’

Sorry about the

posting. It's good news tho.

“We are for inclusivity, we are for diversity. If we think someone is uploading a mod on our site with the intent to deliberately be against inclusivity and/or diversity then we will take action against it.”

Nexus Mods, a place where you can find multiple mods for augmenting NPC boobs, is still more woke than every lemmy instance that isn’t federated with Hexbear.
- So when are we federating with nexusmods???
  
  more and more people are asking this
- We should defederate from those woke tankies at hexbear 🤬
- If Marx was alive today he'd be playing Skyrim with like 30 different porn mods

Nexus Mods on their way to make transphobes mad

I know it would probably be a fuck ton of work, but I’d love someone to create a mod that removes all pronouns from the game. Either awkwardly skips or pauses whenever someone says he, she, they, it, etc.

I'll just play games without trans stuff. 😠 Hey, what's this coffin in Dark Souls 2 do?
- Time for dual wielding shields

no more half measures walter 👍

Does Starfield even require that you select pronouns? Most games I've played with a selection (Sims, Forza Horizon, Baldur's Gate 3) just default them to the characters' body type
- It does and then completely ignores them. I select they/them and have been misgendered multiple times by NPCs.
  So in that way it's pretty true to life
  
  I select they/them and have been misgendered multiple times
  realism in games is getting out of hand
  
  They'll have to have someone do unpaid labor to mod in functioning pronoun selection
  
  And yet your robot buddy will call you Boobies if you entered that as your name.
- It gives you the defaults for the body type and then allows you to change them if desired. I can’t imagine getting worked up over it, in like a billion hours of gameplay there’s 5 seconds easily missed where they acknowledge pronouns exist, the horror.
  
  Yeah, like the rest of the game should be up their alley with all the copaganda and fash apologia there is.
- It defaults to the cis pronoun of your character. You have to actively change your pronoun, if you don't go up and select your pronouns to change them it's not part of the process.

Critical support for nexusmods
I'll remove the "critical" when they stop bowing to nerds like Arthmoor with his spurious copyright takedowns
- They also have some pretty awful porn mods for keeping personal dungeons full of slaves
  
  most everything along that level of risqué is on lover's lab, not nexus

Oh so it's okay to have honkin giga titty mods and dongs for skyrim but when I want to make my bideo gmae not political it's a bridge too far, I see how it is. I will NEVER use nexus mods for my sex needs EVER.
- Smh that's what lovers lab is for
  
  out of curiosity i went and checked their struggle session about that mod. doesn't look like they'll host that shit either lol
  
  Confession to the Volcel Vanguard: I have used the Sims 4 horny mod.

I wish they would leave but they won't because they need all the normal mods and people aren't going to upload their mods in more than one place.
- This reminds me that people mad at the Skullgirls "censorship" are still doing review bombing and flooding update posts with unrelated bullshit. If they hate it so much I wish they'd just leave, having done their negative review and posted complaints, rather than stick around like some sort of shitty protest action.
  
  Censorship is when you re-evaluate a work of art you made a long time ago and decide that it actually sucks and amend it.
