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!


-WARNING-
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.

God I hate these people, when can a cooler mod hosting site rise from the ashes?

>We only would've given Mike Hawk a warning had he posted the mod on his real account instead of his sock puppet.

And that would've lasted all of 24 hours until the next batch of articles came out decrying you for not banning the guy in the first place. If you want to ban the guy for wanting to play the same version of the game Muslims got to play, it's your choice and it's your website. This response makes you look like a disingenuous cunt.

 

[Combo Whore]

All I keep hearing is that spooky things like cyber bullying are killing people, yet faggots like "The DarkOne" over here continue to huff farts day in and day out. Is there a shortage of cyber bullies or something? Can we start a recruitment drive? This is getting out of hand. Fuck these self-righteous cunts.

 

[Brett DeLawyer]

how dare they remove this mod & erase my sexuality

 

[soulless guarantee]

There is nothing worse for society than somebody who thinks they know what's best for society

 

[genericwhitemale]

Last year about the rights of the modders the same shit

Was this the whole thing last year where Nexus said they wouldn't let people delete old files? I remember that being an issue, and some modders taking their shit down from Nexus in protest, but I don't remember much about it beyond that.

 

[The Last Stand]

It's for the same reason leftists can't tolerate merely having blue laws in blue states, they MUST force blue laws on red states too. The left cannot, absolutely cannot, abide by the idea that someone, somewhere, is living by standards and beliefs that aren't theirs, because there's a chance that that person might be living better by doing so, and that would invalidate the entire leftist self-worshipping religion.

No, it's not good enough that they just don't download the mod that removes the fag flags. YOU aren't allowed to remove them either, because they worked very very hard to force them into the game so you'd be stuck emotionally validating their broken ass coomer brains every time you pass that section of the game. If you remove it, you aren't giving them the asspats and tendies -- metaphorically speaking -- every time you pass that area. And they can't have that.

The hypocrisy of their power shows when you realize that the modification is just localization for Middle Eastern countries. Notice how nobody is saying anything about THAT.

It's not that they have a problem with homophobia, it's a problem with telling the RIGHT people what to do.

There's a lot of awesome shit on Nexus but the site is ran by exactly who you think it would be

Fucking embarrassing.

And as always, they double down.
No mods who clash with our values of "diversity" and "inclusivity" will be allowed, and no, we will not discuss this with you unwashed plebs.
Don't you know who we are? We run a mod-site!

 

[Accidental Racism]

This shitshow is just the proof that the LGBT community has already obtained all the rights that it used to fight for.
When a movement defending an oppressed minority starts arguing about petty things like this, it means that all the real fights have been fought and won, and there's nothing left to fight for.
Fags had a really rough time back in the 60's: for those not willing to read, I suggest the movie "Milk", it gives a pretty good rundown. They were beaten and brought in jail for no reason other han being a fag, teachers risked losing their jobs because they were gay, etc. Fags congregated around Harvey Milk and fought for their rights, and these were the REAL fights.
But now those fights have been won... so, what now?
These little, stupid battles are nothing more than a way for those movements to find a justification for their existance.

Also: real fights for their rights meant getting in the streets, and often engaging battle with the police or anti-gay bible thumpers. These "controversies", on the other hand, require little to no effort: just sit in front of your pc and spew as much bullshit as you can. If this is not slacktivism, then I don't know what it can be.

I somehow doubt the movie addresses the fact that Harvey Milk was a pedophile.

 

[Alligator Alcatraz]

What a fucking disgusting website. I just saw a user state they are Dominican and wanted the US flag in their video game but the topic got yeeted by tranny jannies. Holy shit. Isn't Nexus Mods an American website?

 

[HTTP Error 404]

Especially now that the tranny jannies have made it so EVERYONE knows about middle east localization in every big budget game.

Also for shame. Nobody has posted this yet.

What kills me is it was a literal stupid mod a few hundred people downloaded. It was nothing. They could have quietly ignored it and that would have been that. Instead they decided to act like Histrionic cunts. So everyone knows about the Mod and how all it does is use the games own assets.

So, a theory on that. They did that to set a precedent. Now any mod that tries to get rid of flag fags or other progshit propaganda will be preemptively targeted to avoid another situation like this. They signal boosted it in order to get the pre-programmed coomerbot response out en mass, and now they can just cite it over and over again in the future.

I hate the smarmy little commentors going "Don't like it? Make your own mod site!" because you know that any attempt will have those same cock sucking faggots screaming to deplatform the site.

And if Nexus refused to bend, the opposite would happen -- they'd make their own mod site and then modders would move to that site to earn clout with the progshits. Nexus is cancer, don't get me wrong, but they literally can't fight back against this.

The hypocrisy of their power shows when you realize that the modification is just localization for Middle Eastern countries. Notice how nobody is saying anything about THAT.

It's not that they have a problem with homophobia, it's a problem with telling the RIGHT people what to do.

I do look forward to the time when these idiots think they can start commanding Muslims to embrace the girlcock and other progressive sacred cows. They already tried it in Britian, with Laurie Penny, IIRC, showing up at a majority muslim public school who banded together and forced the Gay White Principal to stop trying to indoctrinate their kids to lecture them in what REAL muslims believe.

It was something like "No, you have it wrong, real Islam is tolerant and embraces diversity and LGBT people." To the most "are you fucking kidding me" look from one of the mothers I've ever seen.

"Go make your own site!"

"Oh, what's that? You did and someone contacted your host and had it taken down? Build your own host, respect our right, blah blah."

"Oh, you made your own host and now people are keeping others from supporting you through banks propped up by your tax dollars? Well, maybe stop being a hate site bigot?"

We already know where this ends. No one will be able to make a site because these fags control everything. If someone did, like say make a forum to post and discuss things, they would be denied by every institution.

This is the ultimate bullshit move on these people part. They betrayed their true intent with the bake my cake bullshit. Rights for me; none for thee.

I feel like the "they won't let someone make another site" thing doesn't apply when lovers lab and moddb exist.

Really, I do think that teenagers and young adults having way too much money nowadays is the root cause for all this problems. The owners of those platforms just want the money and think that mods like these are just bad press for them, 'cause then all the hip youngsters won't use your service anymore. Mature people don't care for this shit / Know, that it all ist just a big scam, but because young people have so much purchasing power, you subjugate yourself to whatever the fuck these shitheads demand.

Yeah, about that.....

Archive.org now shows a massive warning when you go to the mod's page:

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

Yeah, about that.....

...but they still let you download it, correct?

This whole fear of warnings thing has really begun to confuse me lately. Like, yeah, warnings are gay but they don't prevent you from enjoying/buying something, who cares?

This shit is the exact same as the parental advisory shit from the 80's and 90's and it was gay as fuck but we all survived that.

View attachment 3610576

I know this is a thoroughly unoriginal comment but I really fucking hate how the modern soulless culturally bereft proglibs have co-opted southern culture by overusing the word “y’all”. And it makes me even more MATI because I know that they are only using it because
1.) they probably hear blacks saying it so they think they’re cool by saying it themselves
2.) they’re only using “y’all” as a collective pronoun because of lefty sperging over “muh pronouns”. They can’t risk excommunication by saying “guys/you guys”

 

[Chocolate Wombat]

Why don't you make one?

Because:

He’s been a lolcow for a while too. I’m not too familiar with him though to be honest.

I'm in the same boat myself. I stopped even trying to participate in the social elements of the Nexus back in 2008 or 2009 (not long after Fallout 3 mods became popular) because the site's jannies were so insane you could get banned for ridiculous reasons. I suspect most of the entertaining content related to him and his lobotomite army site moderators comes from the forum posts there and the comments people leave on the mods.

I'm honestly not as skilled with the tools and techniques people use to create a good OP about someone, especially someone whose social media presence is as limited as Dark0ne's. It's a lot easier to track down info and lulzy shit produced by trannies on Twitter or demented journalists than it has been for me to find shit on Dark0ne. I'm not sure if this is intentional due to infosec or if he is only active on the Nexus. It's been about a decade since I tried to look into him, maybe something's changed since then.

I'd like to help if I can, if anyone out there is interested in putting something together on Dark0ne in particular or him and the site's jannies.

This shouldn't even be labeled offensive, is the thing. It's just the 'Murican flag replacing the fagbow. Thin-skinned faggots have way too much control over our media.
