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.

Mods, clean up the mods!

My first request is a mod to make Black Panther white for maximum lulz.

No. Maximum Lulz would be making Black Panther a tall, blonde haired blue eyed Rhodesian, and Wakanda actually being Rhodesia after Mugabe's "victory".

 

[Narrative Collapse]

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.

This attitude of conflict adversity is exactly how you wind up with pre-pubescent children getting trooned out and infected with Monkeypox.

This shit was written by purported journos.

I for one want to take this chance to vent my journophobia.

 

[Alligator Alcatraz]

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”

Same. I can't think about shit like this because it really causes me to want to fedpost. I hate them so much I wish they would just go away.

It used to be just one media, but now it's affecting even the most inane things. I can't use my Nintendo Switch without a faggot forcing a rainbow font color in a homebrew program for exporting the keys of the console (to use with the nintendo switch emulator on pc). I can't shop for a Japanese product on a Japanese website without a disgusting nigger model demonstrating the product (Sony headphones). I can't order from an American diner without the entire site being plastered with teenage niggers and faggots, celebrating they exist, when most customers of said diner are middle-class whites (Dennys). They claim they just want to get married, they just want to be left alone, then proceed forcing themselves to everyone else's spaces. I just wish it would fuckin stop and they go away.

I've been considering moving to my home country because even if conditions are worse there, at least I can mock niggers and faggots openly.

Lol This is what the fag loving admin/webmaster is posting when he locks every thread about this. (even from paid supporters)

And oh god is their ban list a fun read for the last few days:

Following faux gaming media and most western entertainment playbook step for step. "If the fans and users don't bend to our political ideology then fuck them!"

 

[Shpongoolio Trismegistus]

If you haven't grasped by now that progressives do not give a single shit about homosexuals, women, black people or trans people, you are an idiot. It is the entire reason why so many people have a problem with the ideology.

Yes, there are different worldviews. Some of these worldviews grow self-righteous over time. The principles they say they stand for they no longer actually live up to. This is what has happened to modern progressivism. It is not the first worldview this has happened to and it certainly will not be the last.

Something to meditate on is the fact that any ideological, structural or political entity, such as an ideology, or corporation, or government, is comprised by living people who constitute its fundamental elements and compose its behavioral tendencies.

If we take the united states and replace every single person in it with an African, then we'd have a government that would immediately twist and pivot towards an African psychology and thereby African style legal reforms. you can see it happening in negro dense cities right now; Chicago doesn't even criminalize armed robbery under a certain value at this point.

Progressivism changes as rapidly as any other 'ism' entirely as a consequence of the qualities of the people who comprise it, and within those it lives. Thus, it's idiotic to discuss what it is and isn't at any given moment. It is, however, singularly appropriate to observe and document the types of people who identify with it as a label. Anything outside of description of the qualities of the adherents to an ideology or political philosophy is futile in the extreme and leads immediately to semantic incoherence.

As an example, the reason that progressivism doesn't appear to concern itself with any one particular race or sexuality at any given moment is because it's made up of all manner of races and sexualities utilizing it for their own purposes.

2018? Shit the games 4 years old at this point. Sodomites really no-lifeing for AAA garbage.
Honestly, this stuff is the reason I stay away from modern big budget titles. Retro games have none of this shit.

The PC port just came out, which is what the mod was for.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

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.

I agree it's gay as fuck and there's no real reason for it, but unless someone starts a new mod hosting site or use moddb or something like lovers lab (ugh) people who make mods that are deemed "problematic" by pussy admins may just have to deal with archives gay ass warnings over their shit.

Honestly, people should have been leaving Nexus when they started taking down mods simply because it pissed off Arthmoor and the Beyond Skyrim trans fags. The writing has been on the wall for a while now for how shit they are.

My fav part is "we aren't the authority on what users can and cannot mod" and in the very next paragraph "we will be the adjudicators on what we do or do not think is appropriate for Nexus Mods" lmao

I'll believe this is about gay rights (and not some transparent attempt to police thought and bully others) once they start sticking up for gay rights in the middle east.

 

[The Last Stand]

People going "lol calm down it's just a texture mod" are being disingenuous, the way the mod was named ("Non-Newtonian New York") makes it clear the main point was to provoke a reaction.

I don't get the title. What does Newton have to do with flags?

 

[Mecha II]

I was kind of looking forward to people modding the Symbiote suit into the game since that was a glaring omission from the original release.

It's just a game and a mod, but I think it's a milestone or at least a clear cut case right now in that they are dead set on forcing your compliance with the Rainbow Agenda. You will be made to care, you will not be allowed to avoid it. No matter how small or insignificant an issue, you no longer will be given a choice to avoid the Rainbow. You will be forced to participate in LGBT issues lest you be labeled a wrong thinker.

Eat the bugs, Live in the pod, Suck the dick.

[Vyse Inglebard]

The important fact is that the LGBTBBQ crowd missed an opportunity to take the higher road and open up a dialogue, take the chance to once and for all go beyond platitudes and dubious claims and dismantle the arguments of the bigot crowd one by one, but they didn't, for some reason. Is it because some of bigots' arguments actually hold some water and they don't want to admit it, or is it just because
progressives do not give a single shit about homosexuals, women, black people or trans people
and they would be further exposed as the cult they are?

Yes.

 

[Table Country]

There was a series of mods for Fallout 4 that turned all the black characters into aryans. Nobody gave this much of a shit and they were removed silently without any fanfare. The fact that this complete nothing of a mod can make so many waves is stupid as hell.

Reminds me of the "turn CJ white" mod for San Andreas.

You can still find it floating around on some sites, I'm pretty sure. People threw a tiny shit fit about it way back when but like it's such a do nothing and honestly pointless mod that back then there was some sense in the world and people just rolled their eyes, called them all faggots, and moved on.

God damn do I miss those days.

 

[Cilleystring]

I don't get the title. What does Newton have to do with flags?

Someone mentioned earlier that it's a reference to Newton's prism experiment where he refracted light to show colours of the rainbow. I didn't get it at first either but it's a clever name

 

[Dave.]

You know what really blackpills me about this news and seeing how people reacted to it on twitter? I'm worried that eventually at some point single player game ownership is going to be licensed with agreements and they'll install DRM or Denuvo on steroids that scans computers and files for "mods" that are either active or deleted on off brand sites like Nexus or Steam Workshop. Because it's not available there, it will just delete it off people's computers. What's stopping insomniac or bethesda from partnering with Nexus and having a mod manager be implemented into games with the caveat being that those mods have to be active on the site in order for them to work? Replacing flags in a game that aren't BLM or LGBT+ will be removed from nexus with apologies from Insomniac and if you think because you have the mod installed in the first place you're safe, well that mod configuration app tied to Nexus no longer has that mod available so poof it's gone from your computer as well. And people on twitter will cheer for this kind of configuration app for being convenient and removing problematic mods. Just another inch away from autonomy and ownership. It's funny how people on the left bitch about corporate monopoly, but Nexus does the same fucking thing and they all turn a blind eye to it.
