    Considering their policy doesn’t allow for other stuff like this, yeah I am not surprised.

    Content that may be generally construed as provocative, divisive, objectionable, discriminatory, or abusive toward any real-world individual or group, may be subject to moderation. This includes but is not limited to content involving politics, race, religion, gender identity, sexuality, or social class. We tolerate content related to real world issues and events as long as the appropriate tag (“Real World Issues”) is used and the content is handled in a tasteful, respectful, and non-inflammatory manner. Users who do not wish to see such content should make use of our content blocking feature.

    Reminds me of the time when a Spiderman mod removed the VERY few instances of a pride flag in a recreation of NEW YORK CITY and a Skyrim mod that removed any potential gay romances that only occur when wearing a very specific amulet (including a single dead skeleton couple off the beaten path.)

    Those got booted as well cause…come on now. Its blatantly targeting a group of people about their sexuality and gender who have BARELY any presence to begin with in these games.

    Starfield is even more egregious as its LITERALLY just a menu option and the rare use in dialogue…

    Really pathetic and sad people would even feel the need to make them to begin with. Let alone feel the need to upload them to a platform.

      I don’t have any experience with Bethesda games, but I’ve made a handful of mods for things, and something like this would be barely even a few minutes of work, assuming you have experience and tools already. Editing menus is easy. And personally, I upload every mod I make, regardless of how trivial, because if someone out there wants it, it makes no sense to have them do the work over again, trivial as it is.
