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".

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.

a bunch of retarded shit

bro why are you acting like this is a harvard debate hall, everyone already knows why they do this. we're not stupid.

Midwit analysis. The leftists want to normalize homosexuality and the moderates (like Destiny) obey because they're scared of punishment.

Also "authoritarian" is another midwit concept. There are different cultures/different rules or laws. From your culture or beliefs, other cultures are oppressive while your own punishments are justified and the opposite is true as well. Other cultures would view your reasonable laws and punishments as authoritarian while their own laws are justified. There is no such thing as "anti-authoritarian." It's an ethnocentric midwit concept.

holy shit nigger. just because there are different tiers of authoritarianism doesn't mean that the concept doesn't exist. get off the internet (lowercase I). using anti CP legislation to jail people for 10+ years for viewing a video of a shooting is objectively more authoritarian than jailing someone for 1 year for stealing something. you read the concept of the political and now you're trying to flex your uber knowledge as if everyone isn't already aware of it.

 

[The Last Stand]

I think we should also replace the disgusting pale MJ with a powerful ebony queen and mod in an encounter where Spider-Man has to kneel before any black person he sees.

I want a mod that makes Mary Jane older (NOT HIS AUNT MAY, pervs)

 

[Ruin]

In response to this someone on Loverslab made a mod that makes all the nameless enemy thugs black.

Lmao.

I kind of hate it that we have to turn to weirdo perverts for actual satire and counterculture, but whatever.

 

[WhatIsThePunchline]

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.

It would have been funny if you could have also used the mod to add the pride flags in countries where it was removed.

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?

Because expressions of the self righteous worldview sustains the facade that allows it to exist. Undermine those expressions and it will undermine the facade. If woke progressivism is not able to solely rely on posturing it won't be able to remain self-righteous or fake. For woke progressivism that would destroy it, since that is all it is. But then you could replace it with older progressivism, or some other worldview that is less dysfunctional.

Removing or adding the flags in the game would not affect homosexuals, but it would affect woke progressivism.

 

[The Last Stand]

How long until that mod GTAB?

 

[fyxqen]

Can't wait for 'Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered: Refreshed' where you have to play a Gay sex scene between peter and the spider that bites him

 

[Sithis]

And no one thinks of the shitskins whose families were drone striked out of existence by someone having those red white and blue colors flying on his shoulder.

I think it's hilarious that "no fags allowed" trumps even the sand people's eternal hatred for muricah.

If anything, that should send a message to fags about just how disgustingly  wrong on a fundamental level they all are - even people living in countries that spent the last 30 years supporting "death to America" would rather see an American flag celebrated than think about LGBT existing.
American imperialism has a higher rating than gay propaganda, whoddathunk.



Also thanks for posting the link to the mod lol I don't even have the game on PC but if they're already getting warning signs plastered on archive sites I'm sure they'll continue trying to remove it from the internet.

 

[yobacaust]

Ah yes, gay drama, my favorite type of drama.

 

[TheGrandDragonJesus]

See, the gayop here would be to start replacing their faggot pride flag with other idpol flags like BLM and shit. Just flood the mod sites with retextures of the flag touting how your identity is better then theres.
Make it look like the other progressive idpol idiots Are trying to encroach. Send them into a feeding frenzy eating one another.

 

[Wodanaz]

Then why is everyone sperging out?

bro... it's kiwifarms. please read dear feeder's open letter to joyless pricks. also nobody is sperging out, except you. we're just making fun of it and being sarcastic and you're acting like we're all fucking retards for not understanding the TRUTH beneath these devious actions. calm down sargon.

 

[BoxerShorts47]

The people who deserve to made fun of are you guys for sperging out. You're not making fun of it. You're crying. It's sad and pathetic seeing you retards make the same stupid gamer-gate arguements, You haven't learned anything in 10 years.

 

[Sage In All Fields]

And apparently those files already existed within the game, apparently for use in localizations in countries where fag shit doesn't fly.

make america homophobic again

 

[Piggy Higuera]

bro why are you acting like this is a harvard debate hall, everyone already knows why they do this. we're not stupid.

holy shit nigger. just because there are different tiers of authoritarianism doesn't mean that the concept doesn't exist. get off the internet (lowercase I). using anti CP legislation to jail people for 10+ years for viewing a video of a shooting is objectively more authoritarian than jailing someone for 1 year for stealing something. you read the concept of the political and now you're trying to flex your uber knowledge as if everyone isn't already aware of it.

Speaking of authoritarianism, "midwit" should be added to the list of words that get you a lifetime internet ban.

 

[Breadbassket]

Its looking more and more like the spergatory incubator that is being featured on the front page is claiming another thread.

 

[Sho'nuff]

You know... far be it for me to assume what is Happening worthy, but just seeing all the sperging in this thread and I get why it's on the front page.

 

[Wodanaz]

The people who deserve to made fun of are you guys for sperging out. You're not making fun of it. You're crying. It's sad and pathetic seeing you retards make the same stupid gamer-gate arguements, You haven't learned anything in 10 years.

it's actually quite normal to point out hypocrisy and laugh at it. it's not normal to be like "ACTUALLY according to carl schmitt, everything can be reduced to friend and enemy, therefore this is a completely reasonable course of action from their point of view." yes nigger, we know this. it's not some great revelation worthy of debate. what is worthy of debate, is how retarded nexusmods is for doing this. jesus christ.

 

[Inside your walls]

If gays and troons can shit up video games and other media by making pride mods or drawing characters with viltigo and that fucked up Hatsune Miku binder on them. Then, go on to say some smug butthuffing shit like "This character/video game is gay/trans and theres nothing you can do about it sweaty :' )))" then someone can mod this. Simple as.

That's equality, but we know these cretins don't want actual equality.

 

[DawnDusk]

Haha, this had to be banned for inaccuracy. I promise you that in a 15-minute walk in any Yuppysville area of New York, you will see at least 10 pride flags (no less than half of which will be the latest progress flag with the BLM/transgender triangle) and precisely 0 American flags.

Are you a sperg? A guy got banned for removing pride flags. Your side is being fired from your jobs and banned from online communities. There is nothing funny about this. Leftists aren't laughing. They are torturing you and abusing you. Your response is "haha guys, look how funny it is that we're being persecuted?" Are you socially inept?

 

[Cilleystring]

I don't see what the big deal is about having a mod to have flags of the country (or group) you belong to. The rainbow coalition can play with their flags, and Americans can play with theirs flags through the mod. Everybody wins. It's also more DIVERSE having additional mods representing differsnt cultures.

SJWs care about social issues.

Ah yes, like when they spent all of summer 2020 burning down the neighborhoods of those they claim to protect, while telling everyone else they were murderers for stepping outside during the pandemic. So much care.

SJWs care about social issues only to the extent that they think it makes them look good in front of other SJWs, and to have their self-perceived moral superiority over non-SJWs. They care nothing about the actual groups they claim to defend, as evidenced by the example above and many, many, many others of the last few years. This applies to individuals as well as companies, like Nexus in this case.
