lmao apparently that "remove pride flags" mod in Spider-Man Remastered PC is....
— Willem Dafoe's Stunt Cock (@Necksplitter) August 16, 2022
just something that activates the textures used in.....The Arabic/Middle Eastern localization
meaning the mod author just used textures that *Insomniac made themselves that in the game already*

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…

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!"

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.

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

Does the ME localization also remove the giant BLM mural that takes over player control and force locks the camera on it for 10 seconds?

Oh they do! Blackcels are some of the biggest minorities in Middle Eastern and North African countries, their status either is A. They are discriminated against horribly 1920s Mississippi style, or B. They themselves reject their entire "Black/African" identity altogether and claim to be full-Arabs, like the case of Sudan, where Blackcels LARP as Arabcels so hard that this has lead to Genocide due to them trying to forcibly Arabize ethnic groups who refuse to assimilate to the Arabcel identity.

Weren't they one of the largest slave traders of AA , but they castrated the males so they wouldn't reproduce and basically just worked them to death because Africa was just next door, unlike in the America's where it was costly to ship new slaves over? Or did I buy into some chud propaganda?

Nope, you’re right. The only reason the ME isn’t dealing with the same problems as the US is because they were smart enough to fix their pets

The mural is definitely real, I've seen a screenshot of it. I don't know about the camera lock because I haven't played the game, I just read about it in a post.

the funniest thing is that yes, it does
those US flags are simply taken over from the ME version as well. No single new image file needed

I am not 100% sure about the mural, only know about the flags :(. Those are straight from the ME version.
I kinda extrapolated from there.
