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

Nexus Mods, a popular modding site, finds itself at the center of a heated debate after removing over 500 user-submitted modifications for the game Marvel Rivals in a single month. The controversy ignited when mods replacing Captain America's head with images of Joe Biden and Donald Trump were taken down.

The platform's owner, known as TheDarkOne, addressed the situation on Reddit, clarifying that both mods were removed simultaneously to prevent accusations of political bias. TheDarkOne stated, "We removed the Biden mod on the same day as the Trump mod to avoid bias. But for some reason YouTube bloggers are silent about it."

However, this action triggered a wave of online harassment. TheDarkOne revealed, "Today we receive death threats, are called pedophiles, and subjected to all sorts of insults simply because someone chose to escalate this issue."

This isn't the first time Nexus Mods has faced backlash over mod removals. A similar incident occurred in 2022, involving a Spider-Man Remastered mod that replaced rainbow flags. At the time, the site's owners publicly defended their decision, emphasizing their commitment to inclusivity and their policy of removing content that opposes diversity.

TheDarkOne concluded by stating, "We're not going to waste our time on people who think this is cause for uproar." The incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by online platforms in moderating user-generated content and navigating politically charged discussions.
