Add I've said before, they think opposition is a "fringe minority", but it's actually their support. And much of that support is based on their intentional lies (such as Astarion's "*** flattening" or "mandatory whitewashing").orinEsque wrote: ↑ February 15th, 2026, 15:02I've crunched the numbers.

Oh and remember that this is happening with a Reddit thread, which is expressing outrage on lies. So there would be some people who wouldn't have bothered reacting negatively commenting at all.

If someone wants to get rid of lgbt out of a game with a mod he should have all the right to do so. It is harmless
3. u/_JollyWolf_
I know what discussion is about but you give the author you hate publicity. More people will check it out and more will try it. Thanks to the ban it was a pain in the *** to find this mode once I decided to play the game again. It is a very big stretch to compare killing dogs and anti LGBT opinion of the author, and if he said something similar to "kill every gay and lesbian" then I will agree that access to his work and his content should be restricted but I doubt that's the case. He has every right to change in the game he bought what he doesn't like and share it as long as it doesn't break any law or/and harming someone.
4. u/A-girl-on-the-moon
In defense of the creator of that mod, the fact that they made it to be "antiwoke" was a lie. They just changed the pants and tried to make it look more natural, and people lied that the mod was about giving him a flat ***.

Violence needs no encouragement, but be afraid if thats how you chose to live your life. My philosophy isn't "stay safe" its stay dangerous, you should not fear those who wish you harm those who wish you harm should fear you. Like the noble porcupine, the best defence is a good offence. (I do understand you are not physically performing a glossectomy, are you familiar with metaphors?) Cancel culture is just stupid and I tend to side with whichever side did not try to drag me into their beef with a random third party.
12. u/ArenothCZ
Why are you so triggred by that? I thought my gaming i saw incredible amount of mods i found either repulsing or offensive. Yet I simply don't download them. I mean, you can easily find 18+ mods on BG3 and there are some very bad tastes. I simply don't know why you all so worked up. If you don't agree with his/her mods simple don't give him attention. I don't care if there is lesbian romance and if this creator want to mods it away, let him. I doubt that it will get more then few hundreds downloads.

Yeah honestly. It’s time I leave the BG3 related subs. I’m not homophobic. My brother is gay. I have lived with gay men the majority of my life. Reddit is a soft place and this community especially so. No is forcing you to download the mod. Don’t like the mod? Don’t play the mod.

34. u/Bulky-Apple3960
I’m too much of an idiot to understand and this is not a support them comment… but isn’t the whole point of making specific mods and installing specific mods, to customise the game for the kind of experience you as an individual would like to have? I’m not saying I like the above mentioned mod, I’m more into custom outfits and feature specific type of mods, but that’s my preference of mods and someone else will have some other preference of mods am I right ? Why are we against someone else’s individual preferences I mean , not looking for an argument, maybe just help me understand please ^

You have every right to criticise anyone/anything but at the same time people are free to play the game however they like as long as it isnt hurting anyone? Am I off base with this? Im happy to be educated if so

This just screams like the whole "video games make make people more violent IRL" type of stuff again just with "violent" being replaced by homophobia or bigotry or whatever. By your logic OP wouldn't the mod that allows children to be killed in game be worse? Because I don't see people complaining about that one. Games are Games, if one can't make a difference between a game and reality, then one was broken from the beginning, and the same thing applies to mods.

38. u/Cartographer_Annual
The fact there are groups of people that act as a judge to determine what is and what isn't harmful in games baffles me. There is literally NSFW mods and gore mods but somehow genderswap is crossing the line. I mean, there is even big natural Wither as genderswap and no one bat an eye.
39. u/CheesecakeKnown5935
Let them play a game the way they want, as long as they don't have anything obligatory, and it's not offensive, bro, this is so stupid!

41. u/clittleelttilc
Not in the modding scene, so I am probably missing the power in having something removed altogether. But does no one supporting or downloading the mod/mods also just work to not benefit the creator? We can all see what the mods are and view content created by the author. So can hopefully make decisions from there? As I’m sure there’s never going to be a perfect system for what gets taken down versus allowed to stay. Either way, appreciate you sharing the information.

You mean someone created a mod in a game with infinite possibilities and you simply don't like one of them? Tough! D&D literally says in the 3.5 rulebook to take what you like a run with it.

What’s the issue? It’s a double standard. There are plenty of mods turning straight characters gay or gender swapping male to female. It’s generally celebrated.

I don't see a problem here. Why should any of care about it? The guy just made a mod for himself and people like him, he is not advertising it, yelling that it is the only right way to see the character so... what's the deal? Just ignore the guy and let him enjoy the game the way he wants. After all, noone tells you what mods you must use and what you must do
58. u/DHawk216
Let me give you an example of how you could be wrong. An old school Christian belief that marriage is between a man and a woman. The person takes this to mean God doesn't want people to be gay or lesbian etc. The person believes that is God's will and truly believes abiding by that is part of what it takes to go to heaven. The Bible says to love thy enemy. This person takes that as don't persecute them for not believing what you believe. Don't hate them, it says love. Don't vote down gay marriage rights. Don't go to anti LGBT rally carrying a sign that says you're going to hell. Simply believe what you believe and love thy enemy. So this person gives you all of the space you could ever need, but decides on a mod made for them or likeminded people to put in what they believe to be right. But because they dare to think what you do is wrong, YOU persecute THEM, the very people trying to mind their own business and be tolerant. Now the pushback of people who are actively anti LGBT is strong that someone who isn't anti anything is being lumped in and witch hunted because he simply showed what he believes is right. Does that mean he wouldn't hòd a door open for you if your hands were full of groceries? Does that mean he wouldn't clap if you sang a karaoke song well? Does that mean he believes you are a blight to be eradicated? No, it means he holds a belief he would hope you'd allow him to have. Just as he allows you to have yours. Now I'll end by saying I don't know this guy's heart or intent. But if you think EVERYONE who doesn't think being LGBT is right is a horrible person who hates you and your very existence, you're wrong.
59. u/diehard_centaur
Idk, I think I’m of two minds. Speaking strictly of the mods, I don’t care. Switch genders. Turn the characters, white, black, brown, red, green. Change their orientation. Somehow make them all follow a irl religion or one belonging to another fantasy universe. Whatever. In a game like DnD, where imagination and fantasy are king, I say let people do what they want with whatever ideology they want. Socially speaking however, while I don’t care if a mod exists or not, I think it’s totally fair for people to like or not like something and voice it, whatever the content of the mod might be. Idk maybe I’m weird. Idc what a mod does and I’m fine if people want to not like it. I’d rather the mod and the discourse around it exist than not at all.

If you don't like it, don't download it. I've downloaded the mods turning Gale and Astarion into women and making their voices feminine. I almost always change Laezel's face with the companion mirror mod to make her more attractive. Hell, there is literally a mod out there making Shadowheart fat and nexus mods ready to ban anyone who has anything negative to say about that mod. Who gives a sh-t? You do what you want in your FANTASY ROLEPLAY game and I'll do what I want in mine.

I don’t know the full drama behind this mod, but I don’t mind mods like these existing. Not because I’m an evil bigot who hates minorities, but because I believe that people should be able to play any game however they want. Either in a traditional way or in a modded way, also there seems to be already other mods in bg3 where you can gender swap the other characters like astarion yet I haven’t seen anyone complain about it. It seems that when it is a gay character being gender swapped is all of a sudden the end of the world, which I find laughable since there is so much gay shipping with straight characters in many fanbases, but if you make a straight ship with gay characters then that’s apparently bigoted. It is an incredibly annoying double standard that really needs to chill. Bottomline, let people have their own fun.

78. u/Extinction00
Is this really an issue? Let people mod and play the game how they see fit? If I want to change every character to be a woman or a man, swap everyone’s race to being an orc or a teifling, or kill everyone in the game then that’s my business. Putting a spotlight on it just adds fuel to the fire, meaning it gets more popularity. It’s fiction, that’s it. Let’s worry about real life **** instead.

I for all sense & purposes believe that this issue is purely hot air... the only thing this whole issue brings up is giving anti woke people a platform. They are just mods, and if people would stop making it big it wouldn't really be an issue. Gender swapping mods rarely are big mods, and if a gender swap is so ducking important to someone, then go for it I guess. The majority won't care one way or another, them simply remaining a small mod for a niche audience, big deal. I'll continue playing with the regular Aylin until times (if ever) that some mods adding extra lore stuff come out. In the realm of DnD there is a lot of "rainbow" -stuff, people ought to just accept it.
84. u/FixeLL69
That’s exactly what I’m saying… why do people get so upset about this mod and this author, but at the same time they praise mods that literally prostitute the characters, dress them in the most promiscuous way possible, mods that even add sex animations, and so on. And on top of that, they do gender swaps the other way around and nobody criticizes them, I even saw a really popular one that turns Gale into a woman.

A lot of people aren't going to like what I have to say but hasn't the last 10 years of politics in pretty much the entire world proven that this response doesn't really work at all? Our pedophile president has demonstrably proven that canceling failed it only works on people who do not have wealth nor power, it's better serves as advertisement for these types of people and it associates the ***** community both with authority AND weakness. It gives an appearance that ***** people have a connection to power structures that isn't truly there and also if you ask someone who is homophobic they will gladly tell you "if a gay person can't handle their feelings getting hurt then they are just a luxury" A finally this type of online behavior ultimately empowers these ******* freaks. They love the attention, the perceived power and the way it all feels so drastic and important. This guy wants to feel like by making Dame Aylin Ser Aylin he's going to cause suffering, and he's succeeded. Just ignore it and point out how much of a loser you have to be to see a hot fantasy magic lesbian couple and then spend hours of your life in order to get rid of that.

Sexuality and race are 2 different things, you can't compare between them, don't be a hypocrite, all I'm saying is that if I don't want homosexuality in my DnD game, then I'd obviously try to find a mod that removes it. And no. I'm not speaking for myself, it's purely an example, some people are just uncomfortable with that stuff and telling them to just not play the game they just paid for is pure buffoonery.

As an avid supporter of the LGBTQ community...I don't see the issue here. This is not in the base game. This is a mod, that just those who want to use it download. I don't understand how this is "erasure" it's literally optional online content. People are weird for this, sure, but let them be weird on their own. Mod authors have the right to make whatever mods they want, and we have the right to download what we want. It's not on a modding platform to regulate what's allowed on the platform other than illegal material.
94. u/Gameworm6
Look. If people made mods that made more people gay, most people wouldn't bet an eye, so why care if someone made less people gay? It's just a mod, it's just a game, and it's completely fictional. Enjoy it for what it is or just ignore it and don't give him any attention. Hell, this post is probably gonna do him more good than anything. Some people are homophobic, some people seem to glorify homosexuality. If he's homophobic, so what? He ain't hurting anybody and those mods are optional anyway. Imma be real here. If he really was homophobic. I'm just impressed he would go through the effort of changing the genders of the gays. That could not have been easy. That hate juice gotta be something premium.

The pyramid of harm is a helpful way to think about how behaviors can relate to each other, but it isn’t proof that one thing automatically causes the next. Not every opinion meaningfully leads to violence. It’s a model, not a chain of cause and effect. Popper’s paradox of tolerance also doesn’t mean we must shut down any idea we dislike. It was about stopping intolerant actions that threaten others, not banning speech just because someone finds it offensive. A healthy society draws a line between harmful behavior and simply disagreeable views. If we treat every opposing opinion as dangerous bigotry that must be eliminated, we’re not defending tolerance, we’re just enforcing our own ideology based on very weak slippery slope arguments. It seems everyone on reddit that talks about “fascism†as something they are fighting against has no problem with totalitarian societies - just it has to be enforcing their views.

Okay, so I don’t support the authors morals, HOWEVER, the mod about Aylin being a man isn’t that bad. It’s no different than the mod that makes Astarion a female for example. In the end, this is a fantasy game and modders can make whatever they like.

I okay with that. I don't need that LGBT stuff in my games. I don't care. Why do you?
114. u/ibespeakinfacts
That’s what I’m thinking . It’s just a game let people play in whatever world they want to. Whether it be no gays, or everybody in the game being gay . Really doesn’t seem like something to be upset over .
115. u/IConsumeThereforeIAm
Thats called a societal value. They shift pretty regularly throughout time. Yes, but just because something is currently accepted and normalized by society does not mean it is objectively moral. By that logic the holocaust was okay, or forcing women to cover up or get raped in the middle east is okay. Hating someone for something they have no control over (sex, skin colour, sexuality etc) is just a bad thing. If a man finds himself attracted to other men, then that is something he has no control over. Acting on the feeling however is a choice. The some way someone finding LGBT content in a videogame repulsive is not a choice, but installing a mod to remove it is. What's the difference? There is no harm done to others, but you satisfy whatever drive you were born with. To me, this is what live and let live means. Except thats not how it goes at all. One side wants to exist in peace, to be themselves, and see themselves in the media they consume. The other side wants them not to exist. I ask you again, how does installing a mod in a single player game affects you or your life? LGBT people will disappear from your version of the game too? Will LGBT people in real life no longer exist, because someone installed a mod to a single player game on his own computer? Come on... Because these things always start small. A small gesture, a caricature of someone's culture played for laughs, a mod in a videogame. Fascism takes root when people think its too small to be an issue. So you want to oppress and limit people in their freedom based on a hallucinated future? For crimes they have not yet committed? What if I said eating pineapple pizza is a precursor for fascist ideologies so I have the right to lock up people who have eaten pineapple pizza in the last 50 years? I feel like there has been a misunderstanding as to what "tolerant left" actually means. The tolerant left is accepting of \[list of things the left likes\] The left never has, nor will we ever be tolerant to \[list of things the left does not like\] Well, yes. That is text book intolerance and hatred. But keep blowing those dogwhistles and one day you will get bit. Do you feel threats of physical violence as a means to silence me is morally justified? Is it because you are the good guy and I'm the bad guy in your imaginary world?
116. u/idix1
By censoring them (while those mods dont break any rules afaik) you are only fueling their hate and make them think "they are trying to silence us so we must be doing something right" plus obviously streisand effect. Also I doubt you would have any problems with mod that makes every character black. But you do you, im cis male so not my problem.
117. u/Ill_Judgment_9731
Who gives a ****. Let’s be real, if someone makes a mod you don’t like, to hell with it. It don’t matter unless you make it matter
118. u/IncestEnjoyerCK3
I dont really get what the issue is? If someone whats to make wyll white, or remove LGBT stuff, or like make Aylin a man. Why is everyone so upset about that? People on nexus have been doing that with straight characters for years. I've been on nexus since 2014. There is literally nothing MORE optional that a mod for a video game. It low key comes across as bullying when i see hateful comments towards mod authors for making things they wanna make.
119. u/Independent_Day4369
Are we... even living in the same reality? It really does not feel "like almost everyone is woke". In fact I'd wager that there is a very large, and growing backlash against le "woke". The UK government covered up the rates of suicides for transgender people. The US is actively sliding into an authoritarian hellhole, the ruling party not even pretending to care about the constitution anymore. My own home province is trying suceed from the rest of Canada specifically because they are too "woke". Japan just reelected the same conservative government but somehow worse this time (I'm not a hundred percent caught up on Japanese politics, please correct if I'm wildly off-base with that). We are seeing reactionary movements cropping up all over the world, and they are starting to say previously quiet parts out loud. But that's all just "a fringe"
120. u/Insane_Unicorn
How is that different from caring about what some mod creator does? I bet there's hundreds of people here who dress their characters in the sluttiest way possible, give them huge racks and asses or whatever they deem relevant for their enjoyment and nobody gives a flying ****.
121. u/Intelligent-Skirt-75
The user ultimately defines the experience in this type of game. Lets say I download this mod, then I download another mod that makes Isobel a man also. I have now made it gay again according to my personal tastes. I have used the tools provided to customize my own experience.
122. u/Interesting-Ring647
Why does one care how other people mod their games? Not something id take out but meh not seeing the big deal
123. u/International-Ad4735
Thats life I guess. Id rather have weird *** psychos then mass censorship
124. u/Intrepid-Memory5129
So? If dude wants to play his game like that and they allow it who gives a ****? It affects nobody else, but his own ****. I don’t even bother with these types just ignore it. Don’t pay these people attention.
125. u/Iv4ldir
Reason to do this is bad indeed . Mod itself isnt a problem tho. Let people mod the game in thé way they want. If mod is **** it will not bé popular. That a non problem imo.
126. u/JellyJSP
Then don't install it?
127. u/jimbothehutt
Yeah, this is no different than any other gender swap in games. As long as the person isn't doing anything homophobic, there really isn't a case I feel like. Give it a bad review, speak your peace in it review section, and move on. It's a game...with mods. If you don't like the mod, don't use it.
128. u/JonathanWPG
I feel like I am going to be ratioed to hell here but serious question: what is the actual objection here? I don't mean that in a ****** way. But in a practical one. Mods are supposed to allow us to go against the authorial intent of the dev and publisher and tweak the experience so it suits our tastes. So...this dude wants all straights. Okay? I am sure there are people that want that in the player base. I've installed mods to allow multiple romances. Does it mean I support the negative consequences of polygamy on women and children? Nah. And even if it did does it mean I shouldn't be able to make a peice of content better fit my enjoyment while hurting nobody? To be clear I'm not saying don't complain about it if you don't like it. But a lot of talk of the mod team at nexus mods protecting them or wanting it it removed...its not hurting anybody. You don't have to download it.
129. u/JRhoSwizzy69
Ok? You don't have to download the mod. Just let people do what they want
130. u/JulianWellpit
Cool mod! Thanks for the heads-up!
131. u/JunkyardEmperor
It's funny how such posts only give more attention to these mods and this author. You do understand you're making this stuff famous, don't you? I would have never known about this mod if not for this post. Not smart, folks, not smart.
132. u/Kaccady
thank you! finally i found a mod that dignify the game by removing all those undesirable additions
133. u/kdesi_kdosi
idgaf, if people don't want to see certain content, let them make a mod for it. you don't have to use the mod.
134. u/Key-Masterpiece-8332
This was my thoughts. OP has nothing to do but get offended with their spare time. Let Dame be whatever TF people want to play Dame as. Man, woman, Octopus? Just scroll past whatever you don’t want to use and don’t involve a few thousand people and clog up a game Subreddit with political nonsense
135. u/Kind_Ease_6580
If you think that’s meaningless you aren’t very intelligent. You’re just rebranding fascism when you say what people can say. The cure of bad speech is more, better speech. Not culling of the bad speech. The latter choice has always resulted in societal harms, including fascism. It is not now, nor ever, the place of governments to monitor and censor the media or speech that is not causing direct harm. If you wish to prosecute your “intolerance of intolerance†you have to do so interpersonally or publically, not officially. That is why people don’t like Nexus taking a stance here, as, in a small silly way they are the “governing†force behind most mod visibility/hosting. It is a fundamentally weird idea to a lot of people. Obviously, Nexus is a private entity that can make whatever choices they want. It just sits bad with people, because if things are decided based on personal morals, what happens when the next moderator/CEO/decision-maker is in charge, and they have different ideas to you?
136. u/kmark2688
Okay but.. who cares? This is such a non-problem y’all are whining about.
137. u/kociou
Cool. If it's allowed one way, what's the problem? BG3 characters are sexualised to moon and back, been to few cons, always few "art" stalls selling yaoi or smilair prints. Why butthurt so much for reversing characters, so much mods/artworks being literal homosexualisation beam, but noooo ban if same way into hetero xD
138. u/koops_6899
Then don't use the mod? Nobody is forcing it on you.
139. u/kymbawlyeah
Instead of karma farming controversy you're all going to boycott the nexus right? Right???
140. u/len890
Gender bend mods have always existed and they are cool yall reaching
141. u/Level_Remote_5957
Meh okay if you don't like it just don't download it, just saying there's A LOT of ****** up mods, a mod of s gender swap isn't the biggest sin tbh, some people don't like gay stuff nothing that big a deal on.
142. u/Lexthekitty
Who cares though? Nobody is forcing you to get the mod. Would I get this mod? Of course not. But I’m not going to get upset that some people would like it in their game, that’s their personal choice
143. u/Little-Double-2681
And yet if this mod author did a gender swap from male to female you all would be praising it and him to no ends Just because it's a gender swap mod doesn't automatically mean it's anti woke or homophobic 😂 Did anyone just have a think about it and maybe he released the mod because he wanted to swap the character because to him that's the way he wanted it and if it was done because of homophobia or whatever DONT DOWNLOAD THE MOD Because just because a certain community doesn't like it doesn't mean it has to get erased If it's not illegal or harmful who cares really it's a mod not a statement
144. u/Living-Agency-8532
**** lqbt
145. u/Lloids77
God who cares what people mod into their game. Just don't download the mod... Why can't people make whatever they want within reason??
146. u/Longjumping-Can7713
Double standards. They allow mods that make white characters black, but ban mods that make black characters white? They are the one creating racism. Same in Cyberpunk and sexuality. Make gay character straight = ban, make straight character gay = pinned. Nexus is a shithole echochamper of brainwashed kids.
147. u/LordLordie
Unpopular opnion but crying about something like this and even banning this kind of content is just as petty and childish as making an "anti woke" mod. It's a game. If i make a mod that changes Astarions nose to look like a **** then this will only show up in my game, its not forced on other players games as well. So what if someone makes a characters skin color change or swaps the gender or makes all characters gay or none of them? It's their game, let them play it the way they think its most fun. This whole "you're not allowed to play the game this way, thays xyz-phobic!!" is just cringe as ****.
148. u/lunnaya_sleza
I love this mod. always play BG3 with it:))
149. u/Majestic_Balance1887
This is what identity politics gets you. All should be allowed, because at the end of the day it's a singleplayer game and it doesn't matter that much.
150. u/Mantoddx
So in all seriousness why does gender swapping a character make you a biggot? I mean like do y'all think I hate men because I gender swapped astarion to female for an origin run? ( I will admit the mod to make wyll white is absurd though)
151. u/Many_Box_2872
It's a video game, let people mod it to a state they prefer. The amount of dictatorial control you people seek is appalling.
152. u/master1303
Who cares? Get over it.
153. u/mattxbelli23
Who cares? Just dont use the mod... why cry about it?
154. u/maxgong9
Just don't download the mod ? How is this even an issue ?
155. u/Merwenus
For me it's the same thing. I live in Hungary, everyone is white and saw black skin 3-4 times in my lifetime. It literally means nothing for me just aesthetic. Ginger hair is rare here just like black skin and prefer something I see everyday over what I saw few times in my lifetime.
156. u/MetamagicIII
Let ppl mod/play their games how they want
157. u/Michaeli_Starky
No, just censoring in general is bad. It's not like this mod does something illegal.
158. u/Midget_Stories
Who cares? Just don't use the mod.
159. u/Minimum_Kale_7100
Just dont install it if you dont want it in the game. What was the saying? Players are responsible for the buttons they press? Idk
160. u/mmrxaaa
Oh no, this must be stopped, Ban him from all platform and seize all his belongings.
161. u/MohanMC
That’s weird. Why we can have mods that allow players to have sex with anyone (married folks, even isobel), but can’t have mods that swap face models for one specific character. I mean, why people feel attacked if this mode isn’t mandatory for anyone, you can just ignore it? Edit: I see this mod first time in my life, but I’m genuinely confused about this drama. But I’d download a mod that makes Minthara and ledy Aylin more femenine
162. u/Molgera6661
it's definitely not irrelevant. these mods are very popular, the website makes money. people are going to complain either way, removed or not. people should have the right to modify their role-playing game if something is actively taking them out of the immersion.
163. u/Mr_freeze_ice
Aren't there real problems in the world. Like gay people still being murdered by the Taliban and ****. Seems like a mod is such a nonproblem. Literally grasping at straws for attention.
164. u/Murky-Helicopter-976
I mean - who cares? If they want to make and publish it, they should be free to do so. Vast majority won’t interact with it.
165. u/mynightshadows
The easiest fix for this is to simply ignore and dont download. Attention is what keeps people, like this, going. So ignore. Simple.
166. u/mysaldate
I'm a firm believer that if you wanna swap any character into anything else, you can absolutely do it. Race, gender, whatever. If mods that genderswap one way are allowed, then genderswapping the other way should be fine too, same with race. If there can be Black Geralt of Rivia mods, there's no reason for the opposite kind of mods to be banned. It's just optional mods for a video game, not activism. Ser Aylin looks very hot.
167. u/NamelessN0body1
I still to this day don’t understand why people ***** about someone being homophobic, get over it. I’m not saying I’m homophobic, I don’t care either way. You wanna be gay or other, go for it. But let people do what they want with their time, you don’t like it? Ignore it.. stop being a little snowflake and put your big panties on.
168. u/NasusEDM
This guy would have had 10 downloads and no interactions without the Streisand effect. This isn't fighting intolerance This promotes it.

Imagine being this upset over an unofficial mod that you don't have to use
170. u/Necessary_Presence_5

172. u/New22k
I‘m going against the grain but why should they be blocked? Especially with the bg3 community I would expect these mods to be ignored and be done with it? Why give them attention? I would never download any of his mods, as they don’t add/change anything I want
173. u/Nightdemon729
Hold on are you getting pissy that someone spent their own time to produce the mod? In an open market? That changes a fundamental part of the game? Why not just ban all mods, it doesn't matter what the mod does some people might like it more it's there preference. Why get but hurt about content that you can oh idk avoid?
174. u/No_Individual_8039
You realise you don’t have to download this mod, right?
175. u/NorthRememebers
Really the only way to restrict this is to make modding impossible or at least less accessible. Which is in my opinion to high of a price to pay. I don't think we should take away the joy of modding from everyone just because a few people are racist pricks.
176. u/NotHandledWithCare
The slippery slope isn’t real
177. u/noxqwq
Why care to remove it? Just don't use it. You don't agree with their vision, you should be able to leave a comment but removing the mod? Simply don't use it if you don't want it, nor give it attention
178. u/NrrdPanda
Just don't download the mod if you don't like it. Problem solved.
179. u/NYourBirdCanSing
doesn't seem to contain anything harmful Lol, wtf is wrong with people? It's a mod. It's not coming out of the computer to bite anyone.
180. u/Odd-Test-7643
It's not my business, but if you don't like it don't install it? I wouldn't be bursting blood vessels about this.

184. u/Optimal_Tension_1885
Not trying to be rude but genuinely what does it matter? If people wanna play the game with only straight characters, let em who cares? How does it affect you either way? If you want to play it as is that's also perfectly acceptable. Not everyone has to agree on everything and that's ok. Truly idc the mod exists anymore then I care it doesn't, but I don't agree with expecting everyone to always want the same things.

Hi this is OrinEsque. The evil modder that gives noblewoman petticoats.
186. u/OtakuXLemon
I don’t care it a mod use it or don’t this is such a 1st world problem and you are just giving it more attention As long the person is not physically harming someone who cares You are feeding him by giving the creator attention obviously the person is doing this to get you all mad and it working on your alphabet community but I guess keep feeding the troll Even if they ban him he still put his mod in other places
187. u/Ouchmaster5000
Okay, but like, removing the mod would be censorship. People can choose to play the game however they want (Mind you, as I say this as someone whos played lesbians in several RPGs.)
188. u/Over-Payment-5597
and what is the problem? it's a mod, download it if you like it, ignore if you dislike it, so easy to deal
189. u/Own-Secretary-746
They own the game they can play it however they want.
190. u/PapaChipsTTV
Wait.... So it's okay to mod lgbt stuff INTO the game for those who want it.... But it's not okay to mod it OUT of the game for those who don't want it??

Let people mod their game however they want.
192. u/Particular-Ad-6015
For altering pixelsin a video game. and on,y on their own computer/console? Don’t you have more important things to focus on? Just Ignore it. This doesn’t affect any of us. Just don’t download it.

You can have either all the mods in one place or you can make stands You can just... Not play with these mods.

Eh? Who cares. It's a mod. people can choose if they want to use it or not.
195. u/PeaWhole3252
Exactly. Hells, maybe I'll check out the mod too now, since people are so upset over it
196. u/Perfect_Cold_6112
There's a lot of double standards on Nexus. 2 examples: In the Cyberpunk 2077 mods, there's one that allows you to romance Panam as a female, but the one that allows you to romance Judy as a male was removed for the longest time. There's a mod in Spider-Man that allows you to replace the US flag with the pride flag was allowed, but a mod that did the opposite was banned.
197. u/philosopher-pirateOG
Because people like to complain and make a mountain out of a molehill. Worst mods exist so why target this one specifically? Not a lot of people are comfortable with LGBT relationships, me? I just role my eyes and move on, however I do get uncomfortable when Halsin says he’s interested in my character… but again I role my eyes and move on. 🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ˜…

200. u/Poncemastergeneral
I mean. Ok? I don’t like it but if people want the mod then fine, it doesn’t change your experience and won’t effect mine. All you do when you push against this is get more traffic for them and look crazy for bringing it up.

Why not just let people mod their game however they want?
203. u/Primary-Boss3400
Love of god who cares? The point of mods is to give players a chance to modify their games however they want. You do know you commit murder in the game right? You do much worse things every playthrough than whatever you accuse the users or creators of the mod. You act as if this mod personally hurt your gameplay experience..... Its a fantasy game, why cant people live out their fantasy (IN PRIVATE) however they want?
204. u/Prize_Neighborhood95
>If you genuinely take this issue seriously, I urge you to look into research on the matter. It is a known phenomenon that giving public platforms to anti-minority sentiments directly leads to an uptick in real-world consequences for those minorities. If you have anything in particular in mind, I'd be happy to take a look. I'm genuinely interested. >Radicalizing echo chambers are a problem as well, but the solution is not to allow bigots free rein to **** all over minorities in public spaces. I guess I wasn't quite thinking about either banning or free reign. Just look at what happened on the libertarian sub, notoriously devoid of rules, and it was overtaken by nazis for a good while, so we agree on that. That said, there's a huge difference between no rules, and simply allowing that mod to be hosted. Moreover, the Nexus already has rules about discrimination and bigotry, so all I would ask is that they enforce them. I think we have to let some things slide because it is politically counterproductive to protest against them.
205. u/Professional-Bet3484
Why is it that in cyberpunk 2077, straight moding Judy is worthy to ban, but gay moding Panam is totally fine?
206. u/PromptUnhappy1536
Okay and? This is how they want to perceive the game. It’s like saying all visual overhauls are intrinsically body shaming people because that’s not how the devs had anticipated the character or NPC model being. Your world isn’t going to end just because this person wants to make a mod that he wants. Especially one that doesn’t align with your political spectrum. People need to stop being such pussies.

Ah yes, but turning gale into a woman is totally incomparable and definitely also isn't pushing some agenda. This ****'s always stupid and you losers are just as annoying as people crying about woke. Let people mod their own singleplayer games and stop screeching at a scarecrow of your own creation.
210. u/RavingGenerate
As a straight guy, I prefer characters with their own sexual orientation and identity, I found BG3's 'romance anyone's pretty immersion breaking. Me: wishy washy morally grey duergar with one eye and half-illithided. Companions: you're beautiful let's go have sex I love you no matter what you do.
211. u/RealGiallo
I mean i use these mods. After 1400 h on Baldur's gate i play with wyllia with ai voice or Shadowheart male with male AI voice. i see nothing wrong with a mod like this. The result is not a problem, and as we say in Italy :" it's futile to make a process for the intentions".
212. u/Recent_Artichoke_923
ohh so is it ok if to make straight characters gay?
213. u/RedditStrider
I am really curious, why are you people in support of banning mods like these? Its a mod, it doesnt effect you nor its forced into your game. Nor is it a disturbing content. Just let people play the game they want to play, its okay.
214. u/RetardKnight
No one forces you to download these mods, just let people enjoy the game however they want
215. u/Rich_Preparation_157
I see nothing wrong with
216. u/RizzmerBlackghore
Most people angry about this mod are from US. Perhaps before pitchforking author of this mod you will actually start doing something with your anti-lgbt, transphobic, racist and fascist president? I guess his agenda is much more painful and harmful to the lgbt community than some random mod author. And it works globally, your homophobia and transphobia are resonating to other western countries, while your political class directly want to support far right movements in our countries. But yeah, it’s easier to attack someone via Reddit than go to actual protest and fight for lgbt rights, which are being annihilated day by day by your political class and by your president.
217. u/Robrogineer
It's a videogame. Whether someone wants to do that or not is 100% their perogative. OP isn't just trying to "warn" people about this mod [which is ******* stupid, because this is just making more people aware of it and more likely to download it] but they've also said in several other comments that they're trying to get the mod removed. And comparing defending someone for customising their game the way they want to defending someone for murdering people is ******* ridiculous, and you're well-aware of that.
218. u/Roglach
The same people in this comment section bashing this are also admitting to using mods that turn NPCs gay. Absolutely mind-boggling. This is a mod, you don't have to install it. I don't want to download from some rando site, but if it's back on Nexus, I will definitely give it a go.
219. u/ruubi-
Why do you care what they do if you can still enjoy the game your way? How does this affect you? If others wish to enjoy their game in some twisted way, why police them? I see no problems with just being kind and letting people be.
220. u/Sa3D12
I hate the modding fans in situations like this, especially the alphabets guys, you guys are so annoying when it comes to accepting mods and want everything to be about you in cyberpunk modding community there was a mod that makes a girl named Panam lesbian (she is straight and won't romance your character if you're a female) and the mod was a complete success then comes another mod that makes Judy straight (she is a lesbian and won't romance your character if he's male). and the whole community flipped against the guy and the mod got deleted. why can't everyone have their own mods ? isn't what you guys call for is that everyone gets to be who they want ? stop the double standards, everyone can have their characters and sexuality and mods
221. u/Scared_Library5903
I honestly couldn't care less about that. There are mods that do Wyll, Gale, Astarion, and Halsin. You guys care about such silly things, honestly.
222. u/ScaryIndependence701
what's the problem here? don't use the mod if you don't like it.

You guys need to go and touch some grass aye. It's mods. People can mod their games the way they want and people have the choice to download them. Stop being a little ***** and move on.

I don't get this... I don't at all agree with the mod but you don't have to have it so why are you so bent out of shape over it? Like in Final Fantasy 14s modding community, there's people who mod their mounts (animals) to have giant dicks on them. I'll never have any kind of interest in those mods but I also don't need to use them in my game either so idc about them. Wasn't the main argument for modding "you don't need to have this in your game anyway so why are you mad about it"? Like whenever I see an argument with a person who hates mods and a person who loves mods, that's the argument. So then this post and everyone agreeing with it are just hypocrites.

lol now you’re attempting to change the optics. I have never “defended things like removal of black people from games†first and foremost, the conversation was about gender swapping a character from female to male. Regardless, I’ve never advocated for either black people nor same sex relationships to removed from anything. I said that removing those things from a single player MODDED video game isn’t a big deal. Because it is a single person experience, and how they decide to enjoy that experience is up to them. They spent their money on the game, and if they want to mod out a same sex relationship, or change the skin color of a charter, or change the lighting of an area, or add dice skins they normally wouldn’t have, or add 10 new levels for your character go through, they are able to, and it hurts literally no one. Ultimately If Larian didn’t want those things to be possible, they wouldn’t have allowed modding. So while I get that seeing people download the mod can bring up bad feelings and it’s never ok to not feel wanted, and I’m sorry that mods like this are harming people’s feelings, but someone coming to Reddit and posting this hurt you guys far more than people ignoring it would have. I can guarantee you, multiple have seen this post and have downloaded the mod since. Directly putting money in the creators hands

Why do you care?
234. u/SnooPredictions3028
K? Why give them free advertising?
235. u/snorka_whale
Yeah this was a thickly veiled **** game
236. u/Sockster_
Great mod if you ask me.
237. u/softwhitemochi
I hate the sentiment as much as the next guy, but you can’t ban someone for making a genderswap mod and an *** flattening mod. Yea the guys a piece of ****, don’t give him exposure I agree there is no tolerance for bigotry but I don’t think that applies to artwork. Art (games,movies,books or even mods) should never be subject to censorship, no matter how despicable
238. u/Solry3
Oh nice, thanks for the heads up!
239. u/SorryNotReallySorry5
Honestly, I don't give a **** about mods like that. Let weirdos make what they want and let weirdos use what they want. But making it a requirement for something else? Now that is vile.
240. u/Sotilis
Cry harder in silence and let other people enjoy their mods the way they want.
241. u/SoullessLust
Just don't use the mod? Is somebody forcing you to engage with the mods lol
242. u/Spiritual-Orchid9796
No, I don't think tattoos are anything to do with "self respecting", I simply don't like them. Trying to force someone into a specific opinion to fit your specific worldview so you can argue with them is indeed putting words into someone's mouth. I don't care what Orin or anyone else thinks about the tattoos or their reasons for removing them, 'I' think those specific NPCs look better without, and 'I' like those dresses, so I will use it. Your politics and ideological reasons should have nothing to do with my enjoyment of my game. You talk about "socially acceptable", yet YOU do not get to decide that. You also can't say what's "socially acceptable" or not when certain things are forced by censorship, such as wanting to ban a mod from nexus where the CONTENT does not breach the Nexus TOS. (They explicitly said they removed it multiple times to check). Going by the law seems to be the correct approach, to me, which is what they're doing. Go and take your politics elsewhere. The modpacks that were verifiably borne from hate breach the TOS and they are banned, this is ok, the ones that aren't do not. It's up to each person to decide what they are personally ok with using. I'm ok with pretty dresses and a hot guy, other people may not be. That's alright! But you don't get to say what 'I' should accept or not. AI isn't stealing as nothing has been "taken". If that stupid argument is true then imitation and impressionism is stealing, both things have existed for thousands of years before AI. You say some are against it, I'm sure they are. Some also don't mind or may even support it. Expecting modders (doing work for free for other's enjoyment) to pay when no work has been done is ******* stupid, the original actor got paid already for the work they did, which is on the game. Any work doing an impressionism is done by the modder, or just a person sat using their own voice. The end result is the same if it sounds good enough. I personally hate lazy AI slop (especially news headlines full of errors where they can't even be bothered to check or proofread), but where it's legitimately had work put in to get good quality, that's ok by me.
243. u/SuperKamiDendei
Who cares? You're being trolled. Get over it.
244. u/Suro-Nieve
So? The world still spins. Just don't download it and go about your day.
245. u/Surtha_Wreks
Okay? dont have to install it.
246. u/Suspicious-Low7055
Wasn’t aware this existed, guess I’m doing yet another playthrough…
247. u/Svullom
What happened to "let people play however they want?"
248. u/SWatt_Officer
If someone made a whole bunch of mods gender swapping all sorts of characters across the game, one just so happening to be Dame Aylin, i wouldnt bat an eye. I wouldnt even blink if Aylin was the first one they did, theyre a major NPC after all, it makes sense to start with someone dramatic and important. Heck, I would even go so far as to say I would not have any issue with someone making a mod to tweak sexuality across the game - be it making everyone straight, gay, or anything else. I dont inherently see an issue with that in concept. However, theres a very big difference between making a mod like that for fun, and making one for hate. Just the name "no alphabets" reveals exactly which this was. And while i dont see an issue in concept, in execution its obvious what sort of person a "all straight" mod would attract. You dont make a mod like that without knowing exactly who will be drawn to it. And its pretty clear from reading some of the other comments here that this person absolutely knew what they were doing.
249. u/SWEATPERFECTION
I guess, but based on the dudes mod description alone someone who’s not cool with it won’t support or download it anyway. Why’d the guy get unbanned? Freedom of speech or something in nexus rules?
250. u/sweetonionchild
Idk. As a lesbian obviously homophobia bad (WOW) but like. You don’t have to install it. It’s in the same realm as gooner mods for Skyrim. Absolutely degenerate behaviour but if they are removed off Nexus they will go somewhere else or continuously circumvent — you don’t have to install the mod, you can block people and their work. I think it’s super scummy to make mods like these, but these sorts of people will always exist, and lowkey I’d rather it be in the open like this so we can all point and laugh and avoid it rather than snuck in to some other mod.
251. u/SyferTJ
So I am confused. It’s ok to change characters from male to female but there is a problem when it goes from female to male? The motivations behind it do not matter in my opinion. If they bother you then don’t use the mod, that is how you protest it. This cancel culture has to stop as no one is justified to cancel anyone else. If you don’t like it say so in a respectful manner then go about your business. Others will either join or ignore you. So I will make my opinion clear, I have no problem with this mod but I will not use it as I do not have any problems with a lesbian romance in a video game. Everyone else can do whatever they want. Have a great day!
252. u/Taal111
You do know this is a single player game, right? No one is forcing you to download and use a mod, nor are they forcing you play the straight romances if you dont want to. The game has ample support for gay sexualities and the mods are entirely optional. It seems like the only thing this is really about is you attacking someone who's politics you disagree with by accusing him of being evil. Just ignore it.
253. u/Taloph
Usually I don't care for these types of mods, but in the end they're for people to enjoy. Different strokes for different folks, that's what makes modding great in the first place. If you're not thrilled by the idea of a character being a certain gender or having a specific sexual orientation, then don't download the mod. Nexus mods have plenty of other options to choose from. The irony here is, by pointing out this author, you're basically giving them free advertising.
254. u/TelephoneBudget5293
No they didn't. That was a patch *for* that version. That is how patches work. Edit: So you reply and then immediately block. Obviously that makes sense. No, that doesn't make it a requirement for the mod. That makes it a requirement for that patch. The mod can be used without it, which is why the patch was removed and not the mod itself. Mods that conflict are layered. These sorts of replies make me think that you don't even mod the game.
255. u/ThaLemonine
Get help op
256. u/The-Chosen-Mushroom
But why are we crucifying them for this? Surely its not hurting anybody for him to do this, he is giving away the mod for free to those who wish to have it. I don't agree with the conatation behind it at all but putting them in the naughty corner seems harsh. He should be free to express his ideas however he wishes so long as it doesn't hurt anybody else.
257. u/The_Klumsy
it's a single player game tho. why care if someone installs this?
258. u/Thecrowing1432
As in turns out you can modify the game in any way for any reason. Don't download their mods and certainly dont make posts like this which only bring attention to them. It's called the Streisand effect for a reason.
259. u/TheRavagerSw
Dude who cares, its modding everything is fair game. Don't you have anything better to do?
260. u/TheRealHolmes
I couldn't care less. It's just a game.
261. u/theRobomonster
On the one hand this is deplorable. On the other, it isn’t real, it’s a game about choice. If this is a mode, just ignore it. Seems like a no brainer.
262. u/Thin_Editor_433
From a not homophobic view, if someone made a mod making a character in a game for homosexual preference wouldn't be okay? I mean ,just let them exist the disagreement will alway be there about identities.
263. u/Thugshaker70
So ? It’s just a mod ? But if we can turn a white character black no one conmplains ? It’s your game do what you want I like having many choices for mods if I find halflings ugly and want them to be human sized then there should be a mod for that a human with racial halfling bonuses
264. u/Timely-Relation9796
It's a mod, you can just literally never install it. Nexus shouldn't get involved unless something illegal is going on imo.
265. u/tirion1987
So? Nobody forced you to use the mod.
266. u/TissTheWay
Why are you giving them free advertising?
267. u/TogBroll
Dont worry ser aylin cant hurt you if you dont downlosd him
268. u/TomTomXD1234
There are dozens of gender swap mods. Why is this one bad? Because of the author? Who cares. This is such a wild issue to have lol.
269. u/Tony_ya94
I know that this unpopular opinion on most subreddits but I do think these types of mods have right to exist. They are mods and mods are all about freedom of choice an expression. So long as this author is not directly assaulting, killing lgb folks or harassing them relentlesslIy I don't think they should be banned at all.
270. u/TuetonicCrusaderSari
... Why do you care. This double standard is why people end up hating you guys. Personally, I don't care much for any fever swap, but if you're going to cry about this, you should be crying about every time someone is gender swapped, especially if it's too get an LGBT... Relationship. Stop trying to control people. It doesn't end well, and makes enemies out of people that would have been supporters
271. u/TwiceDead_
Who cares? If the genderswap was the other way around nobody would bat an eye. It's a mod, you choose whether or not to use it, so simply don't. Ill likely get some labels flung at me for this, oh well.
272. u/TypicalNPC
Okay, but why does this bother you? Its an optional downloadable file on the internet that you dont need to interact with. Is it the fact thay you have no power over other people's single player game experience?
273. u/Unfair_Sun3907
he proly just made it because that's how he want's to play. I prefer no mods tbh they make the game run like **** and I prefer the originally story but idk why ur watching this guys every move like he's the Riddler
274. u/United-Marionberry37
Mods are free like the will and thought of the people, no obligation to download and install it. Good that there is something for everyone out there no?
275. u/UnluckyTransition836
Thanks for the heads up. Going to make sure he receives as many impressions as possible. Man’s got to eat
276. u/Unusual_Mistake3204
Sure those are pretty distastefull mod but i fail to see the real problem here. Mod by nature are for those using them only. So if some idiot wanna use those kinda mod it doesnt affect other player in any meaningfull way.
277. u/ValiantTheVictorious
Oh nooooooo What will the world do nowwwwwww
278. u/Ventilateu
It's a mod bro just don't download it, it's that easy.
279. u/vicmakey01
Hello, based department?
280. u/Virtual-Purple-5675
Bigotry is simply stated, a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group. We hall inherently have that even if it's not to the extreme (like what we're talking about) Possibly but very unlikely maybe in about 15 out of a hundred scenarios (more likely they end up disliking said group even more)
281. u/WafflesFurLyfe
Oh no, a modder made something that you are under no obligation to use and has no effect whatsoever on you!
282. u/Waste-Appointment151
Oh i need this mod so badly
283. u/watchrrr
ITS A DND-INSPIRED GAME, WE ONLY HAVE SO MANY LGBTQ RELATIONSHIPS, BUT THE *****-TO-STRAIGHT RATIO SHOULD BE 1:1
284. u/Waveshaper21
Oh please, is Nick Fury being black an erasure of white people? Because if you claim no, then this is no erasure of a lesbian relationship. Its the usual pick and choosing what fits your agenda and what isnt without any sort of consistency. I could argue that Aylin having a male body model while still retaining the original voice actRESS makes the character ***** and that is pushing LMBTQ even further. You just see it in a way that allows you to victimize yourself and pose as a hero. I have 0 issues with LMBTQ people, that is DEI, right? It looks awfully lot like you don't accept a straight version. Why? Could it be that you preach against what you are, and that being intolerance itself?
285. u/Weary-Succotash-7936
Maybe it would be good not to overreact? You’re only criticizing him for the title and for creating a stylish male version of Dame Aylin? There are also tons of mods that turn male characters in the game into women and I don’t see the problem in either case
286. u/Wild_Pickle_6394
Bro who cares. Let people play however they want. Dont try and control other peoples lives you wierdo
287. u/wizard_engineer
I share the mentality but it seems that people just don't either care that others have a game preferrence or just blantently ignore that freedom to just to be assholes. IMO from what I hear about this mod (to stay on the topic) it uses AI voices, which isn't exactly a problem but should be an option to have the male AI voices or stay with the female VA voice lines. If it is an option already cool.
288. u/Wolfguard-Halfdan
Not to be, idk, insensitive, but how does a mod that you don't have to use in your game in any way matter? The same way you'd like to see things in your game other people wouldn't like to. Others are allowed to mod their games to not see things they don't want to see in them.
289. u/Worth_Grab
Thank god. Non gay people would rather play woth a straight mannly charactor just as a gay person wpuld prefer to play with a feminine gay charactor. There is nothing wrong with either. People like to play charactors they can relate with and there are more non gay then gay which is why it makes no sence that the ladder is so over represented in games and movies and shows in the u.s. i can care less what people choose to do in there private time and most people dont. Why do you feel that you have the right to get this modder banned for making a charactor in a video game more masculine. If you dont want the mod dont download it period. You just want to push and forse your ideals on everyone else.
290. u/Xarxes-of-Apocrypha
Did they actually do something wrong, or do you just not like the mod? You're not forced to download it, so I fail to see the issue.
291. u/zandeme_realer
Based, would actually get me to play that trash (still won't)
292. u/Zealousideal-Bad7849
I don't see the problem? Surely being inclusive means you don't force your preferences on other people? He can make a mod to remove what he doesn't like if he wants (if like a mod to .ale baldurs gate actually appear to be set on Faerun rather than generic hodgepodge modern cancer world - dragon born don't exist on Faerun
293. u/ZukkTheHuman
Leave the man be, he just wanted to genderswap his npcs and decided to share his fascination in ***** people! On a real note, it kinda bothers me that you choose to bring him to the gallows, expecting him to change as a result? **** your cancel culture.
The problem is that most of the people that don't support their worldview post their comment and move on, whereas the ******** sit there all day downvoting every post, spamming moderators, getting their huge discord groups (who care only about the politics not the content) involved for weeks.
And even then they can't get an actual majority, even on ******* reddit of all places, their home base.
Without any censorship or astroturfing, they'd see quickly that THEY are the fringe minority, and people are getting tired of their ****. People thought appearing them would be the road for a quiet life, but they're NEVER happy, (because discord ******** aren't happy in themselves). Fortunately now many are realising that, and now just want them to shut up. The quiet life is just to ignore.
