Marvel Rivals' Nexus Mods faced a backlash after removing over 500 user-created modifications in a single month. The controversy ignited when the site deleted mods replacing Captain America's head with images of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Nexus Mods' owner, TheDarkOne, clarified the situation on Reddit, stating that both mods were removed simultaneously to prevent accusations of political bias. TheDarkOne noted the irony of YouTube commentators focusing solely on one aspect of the removal.
However, the fallout continued. TheDarkOne reported receiving numerous threats and abusive messages following the deletions. The statement highlighted the harassment, including death threats and accusations of pedophilia, stemming from the controversy.
This isn't the first time Nexus Mods has sparked debate over mod removals. A similar incident occurred in 2022, involving the removal of a Spider-Man Remastered mod that replaced rainbow flags with American flags. The site's stance on inclusivity and its rejection of content opposing diversity were publicly affirmed at that time.
TheDarkOne concluded by expressing disinterest in engaging with those who found the mod removal controversial.
