    If you’re using it in a hateful way against someone or a people, then sure, that bastard should face some consequences.

    That’s exactly what the creator of this mod intended and its hilarious that you don’t see that.

    In Australia the racist word people used for indigenous was ‘coon’. I’ve never used it and I never will.

    Think about it this way. There’s a reason why you don’t use it, right? There’s a reason why your friends don’t use it. If one of your friends uses it all the time to hate on others, would you be okay with that? If its as offensive as you say it is and I have no reason to doubt otherwise, would you want to be associated with that? Probably not. You’re making conscious decisions every day about who you want to hang out with, who you want to be associated with. You’ve cultivated your own community of people who you like and want to hang out with.

    That’s exactly what Nexus Mods is doing. They want to cultivate a community that’s gender inclusive. They don’t want to deal with people who aren’t, nor give them a platform to do so. They’re within their right to do so.

    Just because Nexus Mods is an online community doesn’t mean it’s different from real life. That’s what people fail to understand.
