Nexus Mods faces backlash after removing political Marvel Rivals mods. The platform removed modifications replacing Captain America's head with images of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, sparking controversy.
Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, clarified on Reddit that both mods were removed simultaneously to prevent accusations of bias. However, this action hasn't stopped the ensuing outrage.
TheDarkOne reported receiving death threats and other abusive messages following the removals. This incident echoes a 2022 controversy where a mod altering rainbow flags in Spider-Man Remastered was removed due to the site's pro-inclusivity policy.
TheDarkOne's final statement underscores the platform's commitment to its inclusivity stance and disinterest in engaging with those who disagree.
