A Baldur's Gate 3 mod that was made to turn all queer romances into heterosexual ones was deleted by Nexus Mods after backlash for being ‘queer-erasure.'
The mod was discovered as part of a package of mods the creator insisted “ensures that the gender and sexuality of world NPCs match medieval status quo,” with many designed to remove LGBT characters and characters of color from the game.
The ‘Ser Aylin' mod was the one that sparked massive outrage on the Baldur's Gate 3 Subreddit, as it gender-swapped Dame Aylin and changed her voice to a male voice using AI in an effort to ‘disguise' her lesbian relationship with Isobel.
Nexus Mods responded to the backlash by removing the Ser Aylin mod and banning its creator for the following reasons:
“This appears to be a throwaway account created to upload a mod that attempts to skirt our community guidelines. The mod in question appears to reduce diversity in Baldur's Gate 3 by taking a same-s*x couple and swapping the gender of one of the partners to make them heterosexual.
We are for inclusivity, we are for diversity. If we think someone is uploading a mod on our site with the intent to deliberately be against inclusivity and/or diversity then we will take action against it. The same goes for people attempting to troll other users with mods deliberately to cause a rise.
We aren't the authority on what users can and cannot mod. Us removing a mod only means it cannot be found at Nexus Mods, nothing more, nothing less. As a private business, we have a right to choose what content we do and do not want to host on our platform. Respect this right the same way you want respect for your rights.”
The real question should be will they remove a mod that turn hetro characters into gays ?

Nexus finally stamped out the problem of crysoy modders deleting their uploads only to start doing it themselves. When I was learning to mod certain games, it was really helpful to download other mods to see how they worked. I'd grab mods entirely unrelated to my playthrough if they had some code I thought I could tweak. A million people being offended is worth it if one person finds a weird hack to fix a five-day headache.

They get mad because they are attention whore who want to be in spotlight. If someone says to a MTF that it's a he than it's MTF fault for having shit skills and shit work ethic for not putting enough time to look passable.
In the past we had lunatics house for those attention seeking individuals

What do you think. Two minutes on Nexus mods would show you that inserting diversity is good, removing it is the most evil thing you can do.
