If there is already a launch command to skip the disclaimer (as said in the Twitter thread you linked) then that mod literally only existed as a soapbox for the person that uploaded it to whine about how CD said the games have offensive depictions of people while a better method to hide it already shipped with the game.
It doesn’t make them look weak at all. You need to dial back the stubborn machismo, and reconsider what being strong is.
A company that realizes the choices they made decades ago were inappropriate, and adds an apology later is strong.
Standing up and speaking out against someone who goes out of their way to promote sand share racism, is strong.
Getting upset because you agree with the racism and you don’t like people telling you that you’re the bad guy, and needing to remove all evidence that you’re a piece of shit is weak.
Be better. Don’t confuse being cruel and stubborn with strength.
Lmao, it doesn’t make them look weak. It makes them look strong – standing up against subtle bigotry and dogwhistles despite potential backlash?
I’d say that’s strong.
Someone trying to make a mod (that reproduces built-in functionality) to use as a platform to essentially promote racism? That’s incredibly weak. It screams “I can’t handle people or companies being more socially aware than me”.
And then whining about it on social media? That’s also weak. Host it yourself (not you specifically) if making that mod is so important to you.
But punching down is never “strong”. It’s always weak. That mod is punching down. Making that mod is punching down. Wanting or using that mod is punching down. Weak.

Does it? It’s a silly mod to have anyways. If it was lumped in with an entire intro-skip I’d understand but just this bit says a lot.

Does it make NexusMods look bad?
I’d say a lot more people would look down on them for keeping it up there.

Why use the mod at all when you can just use the launch command to disable it?
Who cares if nexusmods looks “weak” LMAO. This isn’t geopolitics it’s literally a website
Look bad to whom?

Then go distribute the mod somewhere else. Why are you so dependant on Nexusmods?

Go start Nazimods and share hateful bullshit there.
You can ban all the disclaimers your heart desires.
Is it the only site? No. Pick another one. Problem solved.
