Nexus Mods Removes Trump and Biden Mods from Marvel's Midnight Suns

Nexus Mods, a popular modding site, finds itself at the center of a heated debate after removing over 500 mods in a single month from Marvel Rivals. The controversy ignited when mods replacing Captain America's head with images of Joe Biden and Donald Trump were taken down.

Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, addressed the situation on Reddit, clarifying that both mods were removed simultaneously to prevent accusations of political bias. TheDarkOne stated, "We removed the Biden mod on the same day as the Trump mod to avoid bias. But for some reason YouTube bloggers are silent about it."

However, this action sparked a wave of online harassment. TheDarkOne revealed, "Today we're receiving death threats, being called pedophiles, and enduring all sorts of insults simply because someone chose to escalate this issue."

This isn't the first time Nexus Mods has faced backlash over mod removals. A 2022 incident saw the removal of a Spider-Man Remastered mod that replaced rainbow flags with American flags. At the time, the site's owners publicly supported inclusivity and stated their commitment to removing content that violated their diversity policies.

TheDarkOne concluded, "We're not going to waste our time on people who think this is cause for uproar."
