There’s a really really simple calculation to make here.
How many people will stop using my site if I defend racist mods?
How many people will stop using my site if I remove racist mods?
I guarantee the chuds will not stop using Nexus, they will just get their chud mod from some other site that probably also allows pedo mods on it. Meanwhile if Nexus came out in defence of racist mods they would genuinely open themselves up to an exodus to another site. Replicating a forum+file host is not complicated, and if anything Nexus is extremely dated and could be done much better, the only reason someone has not is because there’s no point when they dominate the market, if I owned Nexus I would not want to rock that boat.
it’s so funny that Elon didn’t understand this when he was forced to buy Twitter and now the site’s basically worthless
I know people have their issues with Nexus but their decision a while back to just start pointing reactionaries to the delete account page was top tier
The guy who received this beatdown was Finnish from the looks of it
How embarrassing
What is with Finland and Nazis I wonder
unfortunately the wrong side won the civil war

a finnish gamer chud? par for the course tbh
I’ve always stuck to English-speaking parts of the Internet so I’m mostly disconnected from Finnish online culture (thank God)
i havent looked into it in years, but i remember thinking that there isnt anything more annoying than a finnish person online, us commies excluded obviously
im sure the hogs ate up gamergate with wild abandon
One of the nicest people I know online is actually a Finn. He’s kind of a softie nice guy lib with no edge but he’s a genuine sweetie and I love him and he loves soup.
The subreddit Suomi or some such has gone full nazi long ago. My kid used to go and troll the libs there sometimes, but it got too dark after covid started and then Ukraine & nato. They went absolutely mask off.
Idiots know no borders.
Finland might have good social programs but its actually fairly known for being an especially racist place.
you find the weirdest gamers @[email protected] good work
Lmao tbf I just cribbed this one from gamingcirclejerk but thanks.
youve got good posts

Throwing a fit and going to the effort of installing a mod that removes features from a game when you could simply pick your pronouns and continue with your day is very not owned behavior.
Just how it should be.

mashallah nexus mods is based
I have said many times in the past that the robust modding communities that exist for many games like Skyrim, Supreme Commander (which has its own community built matchmaking client and launcher), the old school Half-Life modding community etc. etc. are very good examples to counter both capitalism as human nature, and that capitalism drives innovation.
It is therefore no surprise that the people that do that work would have a leftist bent.
Fan translation and emulators too. There are people who’ve fan dubbed games without subtitled cutscenes for free.
As a Survivor fan, I’ve always wished there were enough of us to translate the forgein editions of Survivor. ESPECIALLY the Swedish show that originated the concept, Expedition Robinson. I really want to watch that show, especially its first season, for the history. But noone has ever fansubbed it into English because there’s just not enough of us lol. If I even like, internet content creator levels of indepdently financial I’d probably pay someone to fansub forgein Survivors lol.
Then again, I guess fansubs of games and anime are usually translating from Japanese, while Survivor has been in like 30 countries and at least like 10 languages.
(Sorry to special interest you lol)
I’m hoping in the near future there will be an easy way to get machine translated subtitles on media. Even if they’re not particularly good, for niche stuff like this they’ll basically be the only choice.
Honestly I dont think the tech for that would be too far off? Only issue is that there’s a lot of mumbling on Survivor lol.
The Unofficial Patches for Bethesda games prove this most effectively I think. Here we have a group of people working without profit motive to fix a game a corporation put out broken and never managed to fix themselves.
The modding and cracking scene is an incredibly important part of gaming history. To the point that companies are selling cracked copies of their own games on Steam because they can’t get the drm out of the original binaries.
:michael-laugh: that’s amazing, hadn’t heard about this. deserves a top-level post
(Just don’t look too closely at the clusterfuck drama that surrounds the Skyrim Unofficial Patch in particular…)
Well now I’m curious.
The Skyrim Unofficial Patch primary contributor and maintainer Arthmoor is a talented modder but also very controlling of his mods.
Basically there are a number of instances of Arthmoor trying to shut down mods that try and fix or revert various more subjective changes of the Skyrim Unofficial Patch, and also instances of him issuing DMCA takedowns of people rehosting a removed version of the Unofficial Patch (because it was the last version still compatible with Skyrim VR).
Modders being weird about intellectual property when they are inherently already working with other’s intellectual property is so weird to me.

oh is that why open cities randomly had oblivion portals?? i just remember installing it, playing for a second and seeing one and going ???
Yep! That was another long running drama that I think he eventually got argued down into adding an MCM toggle for the portal ruins lol
And mostly for free, except in Racing Sims where modders charge for their mods (usually single cars) 4 to 10 euros each. Fuck them.
What? It’s their labor I don’t see the problem
This isn’t it, you are not entitled to other people’s labor. Kind of a theme on this site.
What’s funny about this is the original sender probably posted their own cringe
@[email protected] no more half measures Nexus Mods?
Nexus Mods fucking sucks, hope it goes under and people use a more user-friendly mod hosting site
they may suck but fuck the shitbags making “everyone’s a honky” mods
Incredibly based
I like that group. Too bad I was banned when I made a light jab about leftist memes. Still a tad salty on that one.
