Marvel Rivals mods with Trump and Biden removed, Nexus Mods owner threatened

Nexus Mods, a popular platform for game modifications, finds itself at the center of a heated debate after removing over 500 mods in a single month. The controversy erupted following the removal of Marvel's Avengers mods that replaced Captain America's head with images of Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

The platform's owner, known as TheDarkOne, clarified the situation on Reddit, stating that both mods were removed simultaneously to prevent accusations of political bias. He noted, however, that this seemingly neutral action has been met with a wave of criticism, particularly from YouTube content creators who, he claims, have remained silent on the simultaneous removal.

The situation escalated further when TheDarkOne revealed that he and the Nexus Mods team have been subjected to a barrage of threats and hateful messages since the removal. These range from death threats to accusations of pedophilia, highlighting the intense reactions the decision has provoked.

This isn't an isolated incident. In 2022, Nexus Mods faced similar backlash after removing a Spider-Man Remastered mod that replaced rainbow flags with American flags. At the time, the platform's stance on inclusivity and its commitment to removing content deemed discriminatory was publicly affirmed.

TheDarkOne concluded by expressing a lack of patience for those who continue to express outrage over the removals, underscoring the platform's ongoing commitment to its stated policies.
