Nexus Mods Removes Controversial Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Reducing Diversity
The modding platform stands for inclusivity and diversity, taking action against mods that deliberately oppose these principles.
- Nexus Mods, a major modding platform, has removed a controversial mod for Baldur's Gate 3 that aimed to reduce diversity in the game by altering LGBTQ+ characters and relationships.
- The mod, part of the 'No Alphabets' modpack, included changes such as transforming a female character into a male to change a homosexual relationship into a heterosexual one, and altering a trans character to be a cis man.
- The 'No Alphabets' modpack claims to 'match medieval status quo' by eliminating all LGBTQ+ content from Baldur’s Gate 3, a stance that has been criticized for its lack of historical accuracy and inclusivity.
- Nexus Mods has stated that it is 'for inclusivity, for diversity' and will take action against mods that are deliberately against these principles.
- This is not the first time Nexus Mods has removed content for similar reasons, having previously removed mods for Starfield and Marvel’s Spider-Man that removed pronouns and pride flags.
