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+





Celebs you didn’t know have an LGBT sibling





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".

Remember, if you see, or suspect, anyone habouring anti-LGBTQ thoughts, be sure to report them!

Noted homophobe and presumed serial killer @quaawaa has reuploaded and hosted the mod here:

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.

 

[namelesstacotruck]

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.
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.

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 opposite will happen. They are making themselves prime target to blame everything on when Weimar 2.0 happens..

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

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.

By your logic, they should be rearing up to gas all black and Muslim people, because both of those groups are extremely homophobic.

Edit because I just saw your post, @WhatIsThePunchline:

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.

Knuckles agrees:

 

[LurkTrawl]

You're oversimplifying the left. There are different groups on the left. Progressives aka socialists care about economic issues. SJWs care about social issues. These are different groups and they have different agenda

No they're not. Dunno what absurd distinction you'd make here but sjw is a pejorative term for progressives.

The politicians however care about winning and they latch onto these issues if they think they become winning issues that help defeat their enemies, i.e. Republicans.

Rightists don't have a problem with Equality, Civil Rights or Social Justice because leftists are hypocrties. Rightests problem because they think these values destroy society.

Wrong.

Let me rephrase myself. There is no such thing as authoritarianism. There is only love and hate. "I think that's authoritarian" = "I hate that law or rule or culture."

That's not what that word means and that's beyond just an oversimplification, that's a non-sequitur. Authoritarianism and libertarianism are well established points on the political spectrum.

Leftists are hypocrites when it comes to authoritarian because they don't view their own culture or rules as authoritarian but rather as fair. The same way you don't think it's authoritarian to punish murderers or thieves.

Correct.

Authoritarianism is a centric concept that gets applied to the actions of others but never to the actions of oneself or one's own group or culture.

That's hypocrisy not authoritarianism. Are you ESL or something? Pick up a dictionary.

 

[LeChampion1992]

The opposite will happen. They are making themselves prime target to blame everything on when Weimar 2.0 happens..

Assuming we don't get out in reeducation camps first because we didn't support the newest queer cause celebre cause.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

It sounds very probable since a lot of Arab countries have laws against LGBT depiction not to mention Russia's gay propaganda law broadly banning any depiction of fags

In the end these third world shitholes were right all along. At least in this case.

 

[BoxerShorts47]

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. 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.

Come on. Clearly adding pride flags into video games makes society more inclusive for homosexuals and helps achieve cultural equality while removing them denies homosexuals their existence and is akin to shoving them back into the closet.

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.

That's anti-racism. Racism is nationalism: it's white people wanting white communities and white nations and white families and not hiring blacks and the left said that was "racist" and they convinced most people that it was mean to non-whites and the result of anti-racism aka anti-nationalism is your race going extinct. "I think we should treat everyone equal. Who cares about the color of someone's skin? I have a black friend." Well this is the result of normalizing those values. Just like pride flags in vidya is the result of normalizing homosexuality.

By your logic, they should be rearing up to gas all black and Muslim people, because both of those groups are extremely homophobic.

Their goal is to get everyone to live together so if those groups are mean it just means they need more education to combat their bigotry.

 

[Fools Idol]

Rainbows are fucking cool and I hate these faggots for ruining them for me.

 

[WhatIsThePunchline]

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.

I don't think you are ever going to convince progressives to abandon their worldview. The argument wasn't made with the intention to persuade a progressive. I just tried to articulate my perspective as well as I was able to in a casual discussion. Put it another way, you don't think it's useful, that's fine. Do you think it's incorrect?

 

[RandomShirtlessMan]

I remember being banned from Discord because a tranny reported me for saying there should have a mod without the gay shit in Rimworld.

 

[Tomboy Respecter]

Stop responding to the retarded schizo and talk about the actual topic at hand. Mods need to make sure that retarded nigger sticks to his own thread in Mass Debates. Literally everything he says needs to be quarantined from the rest of the site.

I wouldn't call myself a liberal.

Adding a pride flag into a video game does not help homosexuals in any way. It does not assert their existence, its removal does not deny it. If this mod wasn't banned people would not forget homosexuals existed. It also does not support homosexuals. This can be easily noted by the flag being removed from countries where it would do so by the corporation that made the game.

What if the mod gets republished but explains how it's just a localization change?

Then what? Sounds like they're fine with censorship if it goes their way.

Yes. Don't think about why your worldview is wrong. Just keep chimping out like a sperg and keep being shocked that you're losing the culture war.

Then why do you want to remove it so badly?

 

[quaawaa]

And so, lefties prove to be just as terrible people as the ones who go out of their way to specifically sperg about tranny mods. Even if it's a single player game, you can't do what you want with your own property if that makes someone else cranky.



The file is archived here for the time being after it was kicked off Nexus, GameBanana, and Mediafire.

However it's clear there's so many buttmad fags and trannies on the internet trying to take it down (the mediafire link got mass-reported and nuked within a few hours), it's a good idea to just download it out of pure spite.

Having an American flag mod for a video game is "inappropriate or offensive." Let that sink in.

 

[bebopsingh]

Should have replaced it with the Islamic State flag or Taliban flag, lets see them complain now.

It was ultimately decided in 2015 when the Supreme Court made their decision on Obergefell v. Hodges.
