Spider-Man fans outraged as new game ‘modded’ to delete LGBTQ+ Pride flags​

Amelia Hansford August 16, 2022


A mod of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered that removed LGBTQ+ Pride flags from the game has been taken down.
Spider-Man Remastered, a refreshed version of the 2019 console game, was released on PC on Friday (12 August), and efforts to modify it began almost immediately.
Oftentimes when a game is released on PC, users alter or modify in-game files (which are more easily accessible through PC releases) to make their own custom mechanics or aesthetic changes.

While attempts were predominantly creative and positive in nature, one modder decided to replace all the game’s Pride flags with the American flag.
The mod, named “Non-Newtonian New York”, was quickly inundated with comments, both from anti-LGBTQ+ users looking for a place to vent their homophobia and others who thought the mod was a bigoted mess.
It was eventually removed, presumably due to violating the terms of service of the website host, Nexus Mods, but not before instigating a heated debate about the mod’s existence.
Users who congregated in a dedicated modding Discord server began arguing as to whether the mod should be allowed or not.
Others attempted to create their own files that served the same purpose – all of which have been deleted – with one even saying in its description it aimed to remove the “disgusting agenda” of Pride.

It also labelled Pride flags showcased in the game’s rendition of New York as “unrealistic”, despite the fact Pride was born in Manhattan during the Stonewall riots in 1969.
Some claimed the mod was to balance out a lack of US flags in the game – there are at least eight in the game’s overworld alone. Thankfully, other attempts to defend the mod were quickly banned by the server’s moderation team.

Stars you didn’t know are LGBT+

The stars who went gay for pay

Since then, pro-LGBTQ+ modders have fought back by uploading mods celebrating Pride, including one that replaces the Pride flag with the LGBTQ+ progress Pride flag and another that replaces Spider-Man‘s suit with a Pride-inspired rainbow aesthetic.
Unfortunately, bigoted users have taken to the comments of these pro-LGBTQ+ mods to share more homophobic rhetoric, but they’re being drowned out by fans calling the mods “spectacular”.
Originally released for the Playstation 4 in 2018, Spider-Man Remastered’s inclusion of Pride memorabilia, including the iconic Stonewall Inn, had LGBTQ+ fans jumping for joy.

Comic book writer Saladin Ahmed took to Twitter to commend the decision to add Pride flags, saying: “Thinking about all the 12-year-old kids who will be playing this game and seeing this in towns where it’s not safe to put that flag up.”
One of the most acclaimed parts of the game was its amazingly immersive overworld, set in a modern-day Manhattan. Considering the city’s association with Pride, bringing the rainbow to the streets of New York is about as realistic as it gets.

Spider-Man Remastered Modder Banned For Removing Pride Flag​

Lu-Hai Liang - Yesterday 5:57 AM
Another one of Sony's big titles has launched on PC, allowing a whole new portion of players to enjoy what was previously a PlayStation exclusive, and providing PC modders with additional fodder. But a new mod for Spider-Man Remastered sparked outrage and even got the creator banned.

Marvel's Spider-Man, which was remastered for PS5, is now available on the PC with goodies such as DLSS, ray-tracing, and ultra-wide screen support all included, while modders took next to no time in creating mods for it. One mod for the game however has been called out for its homophobia and toxic comments.

Uploaded to Nexus Mods early today, the mod in question was called 'Non-Newtonian New York'. This mod removes all the rainbow Pride flags from the game and replaces them with the Stars and Stripes.

The open world used by Spider-Man and Miles Morales is a marvellous recreation of NYC that is filled with Easter Eggs and details that keen-eyed explorers can discover, and which also includes touching tributes to the various communities that inhabit the great city. So players can find several Pride flags adorning town hall buildings throughout the map.

A modder going by the name Mike Hawk (har har) uploaded a mod that replaces the rainbow flags with the American flag. The mod page proceeded to quickly fill up with comments, with haters using the chance to vent homophobia alongside other useless witterings, while others pushed back and called out the homophobic mod.

It's in stark contrast to the spirit of the Spider-Man games, with the protagonists calling out hate groups and being a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man to every person. Insomniac too has been vocal about supporting Pride Month and Black History Month celebrations, and the games celebrate the diversity of the city it's based in.

The mod appeared online for less than 24 hours, however. Nexus Mods confirmed to We Got This Covered that the 'Non-Newtonian New York' mod has been removed, and that its creator's account (as well as an alt account) have been banned. A spokesperson for the site said that the mod creator "is no longer welcome on Nexus".

Goes without saying but please do not download and install this mod unless you are employed by an approved Video Game Journalism Website, and need to write an article about why everybody has to be gay all of a sudden and why censorship is good, actually.

I'm not even an American but this self-loathing and double standard bullshit it hilarious.

 

[FinnSven]

Since when has the Stars and Stripes been homophobic?

I know it’s waved by right wing groups, but it is also waved by practically every group in the USA.
Isn’t the whole point of it to be inclusive of US citizens?

Anyway! By this measure, as the pride flag has Prussian blue, yellow, the same color as the stars worn by Jews in the third reich, red like Soviet Russia, and a whole host of colors which also carry connections to various events, groups and movements which are not strictly inclusive, the pride flag clearly represents fascist, communist, nazi, white supremacy, anti semitism, radical Islam, and any other awful anti human group.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

Am I the only one wondering just how many pride flags are even in the game? Isn't less than five? Who would even notice if they were gone?

There’s a pretty substantial number. I never bothered to count them, but it’s a noticable amount.

 

[Creep3r]

Nexus is faggot propaganda now. Back in the day they had Nazi mods for Fallout, all that shit has been banned since though.

There also used to be a mod (I think it was for Skyrim or Fallout) that simply made it so guys wouldn't flirt with you in-game and also a mod for a mod that made it so the gay new characters could be romanced by either sex, and the tranny jannies and mod authors threw a fantastic shit fit and got the "problematic" mods and authors of said mods banned for life despite that said authors even put disclaimers into their mods stating that didn't want to cause any drama.

Nexus and the modding community is gay as fuck.

 

[LeChampion1992]

Modding the flags out only removes it for yourself, why do they care?

All the little children they want to indoctrinate play on console and will still see the flags. Why do they care?

It's a single video game.

WHY DO THEY CARE?!?!

Because they have no life and believe that if we allow people to call gay people faggots again suddenly homosexuals will suddenly be sent to the gas chambers again.

Nexus is faggot propaganda now. Back in the day they had Nazi mods for Fallout, all that shit has been banned since though.

I mean Nexus is run by a bunch of Jannie trannies who won't allow you or me to have fun because fun is considered bigoted.

What a bunch of anti-American faggots. So I'm guessing Nexus Mods is the ResetERA of modding websites, now?

It's not quite the reset era as much as Nexus is just known for banning all the mods because the websites owner is greedy and the jannies want control.

The problem with woke progressivism is not the principles they claim to stand for, it's that they don't live up to those principles.

This is a retard's argument, they already believe they're in the right and any real disagreement must be from the outgroup, therefore wrong by default.

Literally all you end up doing is demand them to be more zealous about their bullshit when you say shit like this.

 

[BoxerShorts47]

The problem with woke progressivism is not the principles they claim to stand for, it's that they don't live up to those principles.

No, the problem with Wokes is the principles. If you support their principles of equality then you have no argument against gay flags in video games because under that world view you're a bigot for removing the pride flags. That's the point I tried to make in my original post.

"I agree with the left's goals but I don't want them to actually implement any change" makes no sense. Your gamer-gate alt-light skeptic criticism makes no sense. You're being reactionary and sperging out because you haven't thought through these ideas.

Also when people say 'I think that is authoritarian' they usually mean something like:
'I think that is tyrannical, controlling in a manner that is malevolent and unnecessary, overly centralized in a manner which allows for massive corruption and abuse of power by centralized authorities, and so on'. They don't mean 'I hate that law or culture' they mean 'I hate that law or culture because of the above stuff'. At least that's my understanding of it. Also a lot of the time people are talking about authoritarianism they are literally talking about their own country and they are worrying about their country becoming more tyrannical. So they are talking about their own group.

Leftists don't view any of their actions as authoritarian because they believe they're morally justified. Just like you don't view punishing murders or thieves as authoritarian. Likewise libertarian, freedom loving Rightists such as Alex Stein don't view banning abortion as authoritarian. So yes when people say "X is authoritarian." It means "I hate X." People view laws they like as justice or fair while they dislike the laws of other people as authoritarian.

Just a reminder that they allow that fucking dead tranny "skillzerk"'s mod on pretty much every platform with his in-game player character making zombie noises and selling you a 10mil cap suicide note that weights 1000lbs

This is their revenge for getting BTFO during GamerGate isn't it? Too bad these faggots don't remember the golden rule of the internet: once on the internet, always on the internet.

Until it's not. Archives only last until they become inconvenient for the narrative.

Spoiler: Some Comments

 

[Tackleberry]

Bans and articles seem like a great way to make sure that a mod you dislike is disseminated more widely and spawns countless copycats.

Facts. There is shit like this for just about every other moddable game out there and nobody gives a shit.

 

[nichtmeinName]

Damn I have a Liftetime Premium for Nexus back when they sold that Option for just 60 Euros.
Atleast its a Net Loss for them, thats why they changed it to a Subscription Model, but they cant revert it for previous Buyers.

 

[BoxerShorts47]

>"cry about it"
>"go elsewhere. Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
THE TOLERANT LEFT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

Ya, they tolerate groups they love like blacks, muslims, feminists, homosexuals, transexuals, immigrants, etc. and they discriminate against groups they hate like racists, sexists, Islamophobes, homophobes, transphobes, xenophobes, etc. It's normal human behavior to hate bad people. Your shocked because your beliefs are wrong and the left won't stop because you point out that they're intolerant of bad people. They'll double down and fight harder against bigots.

 

[LeChampion1992]

This is their revenge for getting BTFO during GamerGate isn't it? Too bad these faggots don't remember the golden rule of the internet: once on the internet, always on the internet.

Nope during GamerGate they didn't have the full clout to pull shit offline because angry queers said so. Now days they have a lot more clout at getting archives removed from people.

No, the problem with Wokes is the principles. If you support their principles of equality then you have no argument against gay flags in video games because under that world view you're a bigot for removing the pride flags. That's the point I tried to make in my original post.

The problem with the left is this. Even if you have good intentions and want to help others the way the ideology is potrayed at least in it's current form white people are bad and must be eliminated even though by all standards it's genocidal.

Until it's not. Archives only last until they become inconvenient for the narrative.

That's why you make local copies of anything you genuinely care about and keep them forever.

 

[No. 7 cat]

Nexus Mods peaked back when New Vegas and Skyrim were still fresh, absolutely zero reason to visit the site nowadays

For me when they updated the mod handling app (dunno what it's called) and messed up my modded Fallout IV (I like it, fite me) so I had to install so many mods manually, fiddle with stuff (which I should've done anyhoo) but this janny cuckoldry sounds plausible, and was a slight reason why I stopped using them.

So the American flag will cause the gheys to scream in unison?

 

[WhatIsThePunchline]

No, the problem with Wokes is the principles. If you support their principles of equality then you have no argument against gay flags in video games because under that world view you're a bigot for removing the pride flags. That's the point I tried to make in my original post.

If you support the principles of equality you would never support the rainbow flag, as it subverts and exploits a principle you genuinely care for. Anyone who claims to support something like equality must reject fake expressions of that thing.

Also this take is a bit older than gamergate. Calling out self-righteous worldviews are a lot older than woke progressivism itself. As mentioned, it is not the first selfrighteous worldview. As for sperging, you're the one calling people pointing out the obvious midwits and dragging in gamer gate and shit into the discussion.

"I agree with the left's goals but I don't want them to actually implement any change" is not what was stated: "The left's stated goals are not what they're actually working towards. Therefore I don't want them to implement change, as the things they are actually working towards are abhorrent." Makes a lot more sense.

Also:

Perception is an interpretation of reality, not reality itself. Because the worldview of woke progressives is incorrect, they interpret reality in a highly inaccurate manner. Just because they perceive themselves as not being <authoritarian/tyrannical/whatever term you prefer> that does not mean their perception is accurate. It is not. Woke progressives perceive themselves (and many others) incorrectly.
