Having gone through the process on a few games to collect a bunch of disparate mods and get them all working together it's hard for me to have much empathy for mod authors upset by this policy. Mod authors "take their ball and go home" alllll the time. Nexus mods wants to be a comprehensive way for people to get mods, so mod authors being able to protest by poking holes in their collections is a huge nuisance.Thank you all for the insights and informations. I googled a bit (this is all over the news apparently Popular 'Skyrim' modder Arthmoor is leaving Nexus Mods) and it seems they no longer allow modders to delete their mods but deserve the right to censor or delete every mod. Also yes what you guys wrote, overwokeness and tranny culture took place like everywhere.
If you're a mod author and want control, host your own shit on google drive and make it a pain in the dick for users.
Re: wokeness, if it was just user-outrage my recommendation would be to ignore it and host anything that is legal in the USA and if people don't like it they can get fucked. But they're at the mercy of corps, so maintaining wokeness is in their interest. I'm sure the mod-police lean woke and that's just the natural result of relying on what I'm guessing is a mostly volunteer staff.
