'the mod is a problem'.
Only if you give a fuck, which is far too prevalent in the world. Could be swapping men for women, blacks for whites, whites for blacks and whatever other combination, the real question is, why do you care who thinks what?
I'm truly for all free expression, the world is too concerned with every fucking thing these days, it's an illness.
you’re acting like things can’t harm people if they don’t care about them. this is not the case.
because people’s thoughts influence their actions
Not to shit on you (well maybe as little) but the guy has a point.
You want them to not care. Doesn't that go both ways? If some edgy straight horny teen wants more straight tiddies and less gay in his game, who the fuck cares?
Cause let's be honest, that's what we're talking about here. Teens and desperate 30 year olds.
And don't you think what you imply is scary?
And with that I mean : "people’s thoughts influence their actions"
I fucking hope so.
And who are you to tell them what is right and what is wrong?
You know how in the US they aim to remove everything about racism, black history and rewrite native history in many states? This is one front of bigotry. Another one is to remove the visibility in arts and culture. One angle is to remove and supress works created by people from minorities. The other is to remove minority characters from works of fiction.
And at the end of that culture war, when the "ideal" mainstream society is created in the heads it is creates in the real world by persecution of the excluded minorities.
And while the modder has the right to mod how he sees fit, it is perfectly justified for the platform to not help him distribute it. And in such it is different from mods turning mainstream characters into minority characters because it has no negative consequences for peopledown the line.
