Remember that capeshit vidya mod that took out the Pride flags? Turns out it wasn’t a mod! It just enabled the Middle Eastern localization provided by the devs in the game itself!

What's impressive is some suit that ordered that though "hmm, what can we replace the gay flag with that's gonna be more palatable to sand people.... oh I know, american flag! They love that one!" :marseywholesome::marseymutt:

Unironically yeah. You know we have allies in the middle east as much as we have enemies right? Pretty much the reason for the 9/11 attack.

Cause our allies wanted us to come over and frick up our enemies. Remember that all 9/11 highjackers were Saudi nationals.

They are saying that the same modder also made a mod that changes EVERY flag in the game to a pride flag. :marseyxd:

:marseyprideflag::marseyprideflag::marseyprideflag::marseyprideflag::spiderman::marseyprideflag::marseyprideflag::marseyprideflag::marseyprideflag:

what's also funny is apparently the mod author also made a mod that turned all the flags to the pride flag

lmao


Wow, and apparently the guy was banned.


I've heard the same modder made a mod that turns all American flags into pride flags. So it was probably just funny to them and not out of genuine homophobia, either way I don't see the value of banning mods, even if they're stupid

SOMEONE FIND THIS MODDER AND SEND THEM AN INVITE

Did people really think that this game was going to ship to MENA and Asia with a bunch of western propaganda in it? It’s obvious from the quality of pictures…

Now if someone could replace pride flags with Trump ones in game… :marseytroublemaker:

Blizzard had to replace skeleton model for the Chinese server of Wow, so this is hardly a controversial thing to do.

What did they want Activision to do? Not selling the game?

They didn’t know it was the ME localization. Now that the cat is out of the bag, none of them will mention it :marseyxd:
