You don't have to care. No one does. No one is blocking this from working.

It's just not being listed on Nexus.

Moreover this mod wasn't giving options to players to choose how they wanted to play, it was changing very specific things and advertising it. Nexus doesn't care to let them use their platform to advertise a mod made for a very specific audience of really shitty people.

No one does.

This is patently false because if no one cares, it wouldn't have been removed. It was only removed because enough people cared and spoke up about it. Even just reading this thread makes it clear that plenty of people care about it.

This comment would mean anything if they had said "no one cares," but what they said was "no one has to care"

I'm an idiot who can't read. Potentially.... I see they edited their post.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I feel like there's a smidge of ambiguity in the phrase

You don’t have to care. No one does.

Which could parse to

You don’t have to care. No one has to care.

or

You don’t have to care. No one cares.

I actually don't think it is ambiguous. "You don't have to care" implies that some might, but it doesn't matter. "No one does" is clearly reinforcing that point, rather than making a new point which contradicts the first part of the first point.

Not if you read cardfully, but it is easy to gloss over. I'd give them a pass, especially since changing your opinion when presented with different information isn't nearly common enough.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah I already admitted I'm an idiot that can't read, assuming they didn't edit this part of their post.

Literally the only care that mattered in this situation is the admin(s) at Nexus mods, and they didn't have to even care that much. The thing could be removed with about 5 minutes of work, if that. Nexus has shown that they will not platform bigotry, and this is them following through on that once again. Other people's opinions didn't even matter.
