I agree that platforms like Nexus Mods have a responsibility to consider the broader societal impact of the content they host. However, they also have a responsibility to preserve the freedoms that have made such platforms valuable to so many. The challenge lies in finding a balanced approach, which is never easy.

It's worth mentioning that I fully support your right to view and critique mods based on their societal impact. At the same time, it should be acceptable for others to evaluate these mods based on different criteria, such as user freedom, without being labeled as "bad persons."

Would it not be more constructive for us to have an open dialogue on how to balance these competing interests rather than dismissing each other's viewpoints outright?

No, I don't want an open dialogue with bigots.

OK fine, I don't want to argue with someone who's obviously closed minded and can't debate on simple issues.

Keep it classy bro.

Fine. We'll keep it simple and set the facts. I'll even let you define the problem. Tell me. What does this mod do?
