Look I've got no skin in the game here, what's wrong with having a mod that removes a selector in a character creation screen?
I get that some people are upset if they get misgendered or whatever (as I would be...my chosen pronouns just happen to line up with what everyone assumes they are...comfy living) but is it really necessary to force everyone to have a pronoun selection option if they don't want a pronoun selection option? You're not going to make someone blinded by hate see any clearer by forcing them to do something that only affects them.
Edit: I'm sorry if my questioning hurt some folks, that wasn't my intention. I couldn't see what the big deal was, but thanks to those who made the effort to engage with me, I have a more informed view and I can appreciate why the mod was removed and why its existence was upsetting.
Was going to comment the same. How is this mod hurting anyone? Isnt this the point of modding, to tweak it a little bit to suit your tastes? Its not like its a rape or child molesting mod. Those things should get deleted. But this? Such a petty thing to do.
If you don't like it go start your mods4bigots site, then you can upload anything you want to suit your "tastes".
Pretty sure I saw one like that on the steam forums, and people there were mad that it existed.
It's almost like people are generally against bigotry, even if it's allowed to exist. What an apparently complex and confusing experience for you.
Crazy. Fuck off you turd.
