It doesn’t make them look weak at all. You need to dial back the stubborn machismo, and reconsider what being strong is.
A company that realizes the choices they made decades ago were inappropriate, and adds an apology later is strong.
Standing up and speaking out against someone who goes out of their way to promote sand share racism, is strong.
Getting upset because you agree with the racism and you don’t like people telling you that you’re the bad guy, and needing to remove all evidence that you’re a piece of shit is weak.
Be better. Don’t confuse being cruel and stubborn with strength.
Lmao, it doesn’t make them look weak. It makes them look strong – standing up against subtle bigotry and dogwhistles despite potential backlash?
I’d say that’s strong.
Someone trying to make a mod (that reproduces built-in functionality) to use as a platform to essentially promote racism? That’s incredibly weak. It screams “I can’t handle people or companies being more socially aware than me”.
And then whining about it on social media? That’s also weak. Host it yourself (not you specifically) if making that mod is so important to you.
But punching down is never “strong”. It’s always weak. That mod is punching down. Making that mod is punching down. Wanting or using that mod is punching down. Weak.
If there is already a launch command to skip the disclaimer (as said in the Twitter thread you linked) then that mod literally only existed as a soapbox for the person that uploaded it to whine about how CD said the games have offensive depictions of people while a better method to hide it already shipped with the game.

Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
Rules
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.
What’s your point?

Look bad to whom?

Then go distribute the mod somewhere else. Why are you so dependant on Nexusmods?
deleted by creator
Is it the only site? No. Pick another one. Problem solved.
Go start Nazimods and share hateful bullshit there.
You can ban all the disclaimers your heart desires.
If someone cares so much this mod was removed, I am immediately suspicious of that person.
It becomes a question of “How does this benefit you?”
You’ve taken all this time saying “Moderators shouldn’t care”, but then you twist it by saying somebody cares. So why shouldn’t the moderators care?
it’s either a silly mod nobody should care about, or it isn’t. You can’t play both sides to weasel the argument you want.
Does it? It’s a silly mod to have anyways. If it was lumped in with an entire intro-skip I’d understand but just this bit says a lot.

Does it make NexusMods look bad?
I’d say a lot more people would look down on them for keeping it up there.

It makes you look butthurt to bitch about it.

Why use the mod at all when you can just use the launch command to disable it?
Who cares if nexusmods looks “weak” LMAO. This isn’t geopolitics it’s literally a website

How?
You seem to have this outlook that because a mod is “silly”, it can’t be removed.
I have the outlook that if it’s so silly nobody should care, then why do you care it was removed?
Not only that, your hyperfixtation on specifically this mod. This is the silly mod you pick.
Am I not supposed to be suspicious that this is the hill you die on? How many small mods get removed from nexusmods on any given day?
