        They’re a public platform, they have to moderate and “control” what gets posted, otherwise they get into trouble for it publicly.

          I guess you haven’t been paying attention to them nuking and banning mods that they don’t like ideologically then?

            You are moving the goalpost now, we know about the mods, but this is compliance. They either implement this, or blacklist the entire UK and EU from accessing the site.

              I’m just saying, I bet they couldn’t wait to implement this. They’ll likely roll it out worldwide soon enough even when not forced to.

              The best example are the ones that replace “Type 1 / Type 2” with “Male / Female” in games where you create a character. Banned. Another is the one that simply replaced all the pride flags with american flags in Spider-Man. Banned.

                  Oh so they came to their senses because of the backlash over their pathetic banning of this mod? That’s something at least, but they won’t be getting any praise from me until they stop banning things like this in the first place.

                    If you’d actually read the explanation they posted, it’d be clear that they removed the mod because the uploader was breaking the rules, not because the mod itself was bad.

                    Which is the case for all other similar cases as well, AFAIK.

                Honestly not noticed that because I just don’t give a shit. It’s a pride flag, surely it isn’t going to hurt even the most delicate snowflake.

                I love seeing conservative snowflakes complaining about censorship when it’s literally the most stupid small changes, you make it sound like the game is unplayable because it’s acknowledges/supports minorities in non-impactful ways.

                But no mention of the games and mods that let you play out genocide/rape.

                It’s the pride flags that are the problem. /s

                  Way to miss the point. The point is that mods as trivial as the ones I said in single player games were banned because the owner didn’t like them, while the owner allowed the mods like you mentioned.

                    The point is as a moral normal human being you should not be getting upset and bitching about a coloured flag. There are so many terrible awful things happening in the world and a rainbow flag sends you into a fury.

                    There is something wrong with YOU, not LGBT.
