Mod That Makes ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Less Gay Gets Nuked After Players Revolt

Just to be clear for everyone here, the mod author effectively stated the goal was to reduce diversity.

There are other mods that change gender of characters that state no such thing, which are still up. It's really only the intent here that mattered.

To those that are saying they don't see a problem with this mod. Let me put it to you this way. Instead of a mod that turned one gay woman into a straight man what if it turned one black character into a white character?

There literally was a mod like that in Stardew Valley that turned Demetrius into a white character, and it was rightfully deleted from Nexus mods. If someone has that much of a problem with a character being a different race, sex, gender, or sexual identity then they're clearly bigoted no matter what they say to the contrary.

It's gay erasure, and it's bigotry, plain and simple.

Nexus consistently refuses to be a platform for bigotry.

That should not be controversial, at all, in any context.

If this asshat wants to publish it elsewhere - he's free to. Nobody's stopping him. It's just a file. He has every moral right to modify software however he sees fit, and he has every practical right to be a homophobe online with fellow homophobes.

But I don't want anything to do with him. I don't want to use any website that's cool with bigots spreading bigotry. If the people who run the website don't want to deal with that shit either... tough shit, guy. Find another bar. This one's not for Nazis. Warn all your Nazi friends.

This is hardly news, Nexus has removed mods like these in the past from games like Spider-man and Skyrim. Their rules are pretty straightforward when it comes to stuff like this.

And nothing of value has been lost. Eff that mod.

Good, fuck that modder

I don't have any issues with diversity and inclusivity, and support it however I can.

But I don't really see the problem with this mod? It's a honest question, I've just read the article, and the Nexus mod answer doesn't make much sense to me. I mean there are literally mods that change every character in Skyrim to females, how is that different? (I didn't log in to see the if the mod is active, but I'm sure there's a lot of "we change this character to female" mods for any game).

And more importantly, why not let anyone do whatever they want with their game, and enjoy it however they want? Or was it similar to the Starfield pronouns mod, where the creator went on a hateful rant in the mod description, and acted like a total dick, spewing their bullshit intorelant propaganda? Then, the removal would be understandable. Otherwise, it's just counter-productive and only serves to even more divide people and turn them against eachother, and feels like an unnecessary witch-hunt and a PR stunt.

But please correct me if I'm wrong or missing something, there's probably some context that I don't have.

I would hope that a similar mod that gives options to disable certain types of romances would have been better suited. So long as it doesn’t single out the types of romances he dislikes.

I DEMAND GAYER AND HORNIER (but in reality I'm still on divinity 2...)

I suppose the irony of trying to make it less lGbtq and instead making it lgbTq goes unnoticed by the bigoted creator?

Less gay?

I honestly don't care what people are into, but this game is a bit intense, sexually. I'm just trying to get my RPG fix, and all the characters constantly wanna bang my ass, when all I want is to be their Homie...

There is nothing criminal in creating, using and sharing those mods (as hateful as they are), the modder could have simply said he did it because he felt like it, but the mediaval theming justification is really stupid and inflammatory.

The community reaction is very counterproductive, they have only succeeded in making the mod very visible now. And nexusmods as usual accepting all kinds of horrible mods but censoring only according to drama. All badly here.

It's good I have eternity client for Lemmy and it shows me my subscribed topics in the main tab

And I don't need to see people shouting at other people so often

Everything has to be gay, EVERYTHING! Because that reflects reality, where the vast majority of people are gay and ABCDEFG12345QQ++*.,-?XYZ.

In fact being gay is the most noble thing to be, and it has to be the main point of every single conversation forever. Who you like to fuck is THAT important to everyone around you, you're the main character after all.

Seems really dumb to make such a mod. A game that has characters of different orientations and identities is simply a more believable and thereby better game.

However from what I have been reading, the game seems to be overly focused on sex and relationships in general, or is that depending on player decisions?

Edit: I asked an honest question and got downvotes.What the fuck is wrong with some people?
