Yigdboz: All of you calling the messenger mean words are aware that he's just that, a messenger, right?

The paragraphs just below the links pointing at the mods themselves that describe what the mods entail and what they do are word-for-word quoted from an alternative mod hosting site called Based Mods.

I doubt that CMiq gives a toss, but you're unjustifiably accusing the man to be something he clearly is not.
Hey man I'm just a messenger too. Don't get mad at me, I didn't say it

botan9386: Mods do not alter your files, they do not alter your story, they are personal to someone's own copy of the game and if they wish to change some files around and share them with others, so be it.
Key word: "personal"

It's shared online, i.e. not personal any more. In this specific case it's promoting an agenda.

Same way any mods that turn characters into any other skin color, sex, sexual orientation, etc, would be promoting an agenda.

You can apply this reasoning beyond mods though. Warhorse introducing a gay romance choice between two characters where there wasn't one before falls under your framework of an agenda, but I assume you're not against that. I'll accept assuming wrongly.

I say it is personal in that you don't have to engage with it. Yes, by someone sharing it, others become aware of it but you still have the right of choice here. This is all of information/media in a nutshell.

Edit: Will just add that I'm not telling you to just accept hate. But there was a leap in assumptions here from modding a game to being racist/sexist/homophobic. I can assure you my desire to mod Judy's sexuality didn't come from a hate of lesbians, I just saw a cute tech girl I wanted to date in a game.

In the same way, some people will mod out the Henry/Hans romance not because they hate gay men but because it messes with their immersion from the first game. I can't read minds though, not everyone is innocent of course but I'm not supporting mod censorship for that.

They are a repeater.
If merely pointing out the more than overt DEI/ESG agenda-pushing of Sweet Baby and similar "consulting" entities is what it takes to be labelled all these -ists and -phobes and whatnot then you'll have quite a bit of reporting and trying to get a considerable number of forumites banned ahead of you.

Good luck and godspeed.

Key word being "merely" , which doesnt apply to him.

Of course they don't have an agenda for their posts here:

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/preorder_vampire_the_masquerade_bloodlines_2_2d247/post441
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/well_that_was_quick_concord_shuts_down/post79

They want to post the nonsense from X or other shitholes here in this forum.

And we shouldn't forget something. You have someone here who complains or will complain about censorship:

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_tomb_raider_ivvi_e00b0/post41

Exactly this person is posting a mod to censor a game. Isn't this ironic?

I'm not trying to be rude when saying that you're wrong in your assumption, and I'll explain below:

I'll underline all the spoiler parts, so that people can avoid them.

[SPOILERS]
Unlike many of the people complaining on this forum, I did complete KCD 2. %% All romance options are not a "click to tap" type of options. %% They either have dialog trees tied to them (and are clearly marked with a heart icon next to them), or they are tied to specific side-missions that one can also fail. I've also watched the video IGN uploaded of the homosexual romance, and to get that cutscene you need to pick the right option every single time for the majority of the game, i.e. you can't accidentally stumble onto it. It's not a main plot point. It's a footnote, should you choose to look for it. %% The game is about revenge in the first third, and the two remaining thirds are about a civil war. Whether Henry chooses to sex his friend or some women he meets is irrelevant, and utterly pointless.
[/SPOILERS]

The fact that "there wasn't" a romance before doesn't mean there can't be one. Unless you instantly become an item with your partners. That's not how relationships work. They take time to build.

Saying Warhorse is following an agenda, not only is it narrowminded, it's just plainly factually wrong.

Warhorse hid many options about many things in the game. You can be a thief in the game, you can be a knight in shining armor, you can be a lot of things. It's a role playing game where you role play. Some people will choose to have sex with everything, others with women, others with that one man, and others will avoid it entirely. In Baldur's Gate 3 you can have sex with a freaking bear... An agenda would be if it were shoved in your face.

Edit: Removed a few paragraphs.

This post really is hilarious. You're trying to link an "alternative" mod site with the name BASED in the title, with forums filled with blatantly antitrans and racist comments, and arguing that it's unrealistic to think the poster could be racist

An agenda doesn't have to be in your face but I get what you're trying to say. But you didn't have to write so much, I'm willing to accept that KCD is agenda-less even if some decisions confuse me.

My argument was primarily about protecting the mods themselves from censorship and not necessarily the poster since I agreed his post was in bad taste.

If I had to guess, the moderators are just doing this part-time and can't be vigilant all day long. Of course the narcissistic reactionaries what demean others are going to kindly promote erasure when they think they aren't going to be reprimanded.

Sorry, I appreciate the offer, but I just don't "friend" people. It's nothing personal - I just don't.

Seriously dude calm down, yes somebody posted a dumb mod, welcome to the Internet I guess.

There are mods that changes sexuality of predetermined characters, change their skin color (https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/2404), there are even mods that changes the monkey from Black Myth Wukong into a female ninja in a skimpy outfit or adds horse genitalia to your companions in Baldur's Gate 3. But the good thing with mods is that you don't have to install any of them if you don't want to.

If you consider that said poster did something against Gog TOS report him/her to moderators and that's it. No need to create a whole new separate drama thread about it and act as if you noticed some sort of crime against humanity.
