To answer your question, I'm expecting nexus to do the same as moddingdb just for little ol me :lol: if they can't find some other innocuous reason to do so.

I'd rather they just rehost our mods and do it themselves then have us distracted by moderating ourselves and have our motivations assumed.
Is that allowed? Would Orin and crew be upset if someone else uploaded their mods, as long as full credit was given? If it wouldn't step on any toes, I'd be happy to do it. I like hurting the insane pervert freaks. It's fun. And productive.

Lke most people, I would rather see them get help from a qualified professional. But we don't spend money on insane asylums anymore. So instead of helping them overcome their mental illness, we have to fight them. Thems the breaks until it all collapses and gets rebuilt.

viewtopic.php?t=1723-video-game-modification-ownership

The instances where a modder owns his mod is rare. Original texture packs not based on a game's textures, original models made from scratch, etc., I'd say about 98-99% of mods are unauthorized derivative works, do what you want. Nexus permissions are ********.

I gave only the information for potential survival of her mods outside of this radical forum.
I suggested to remove the radical talk, change the name to "No Real-life Politics in Baldur's Gate"/"in Faerûn"/"in Forgotten Realms", and do not engage with radical/politically charged comments from the opposing to her side, nor be the source of radical speech.
I am not on "your" side, nor I am on the "opposing" side. I only found this mod interesting for removing forced real-life politics from the Forgotten Realms.
What to do next with this mod - is orin's choice, I have no control over it whatsoever.

I will not engage further. Have a good day.
This is the worst type of bugman, who believes himself above moral reproach, that he belongs to a center zone that didn't even exist on the political spectrum barely 60 years ago. Yes, bud, you are definitely not some ****** libertarian trying to get other people to fight your little ****** online war so that you can indulge hedonistically in the way you wish to.

It's getting real tiresome seeing these random losers trying to turn others into activists, a tactic oddly familiar to the left, the real radicals in society. If declaring basic objective truths is "radical" to you, you are likely the problem in this equation.

Getting those download counts working would really help...
One of the reasons ******** etc. are pushing their ways is because they're able to be "the only thing that exists" by censoring everything else. They then brand anything else a "fringe right wing".
Seeing just how popular anti/non woke stuff is, would put a dampener on that argument.

It's not as easy as you think because we make use of aggressive caching for downloads to serve tens of terabytes of data a month on a budget.

Wow I didn't expect this honestly.
As per:

They have hired a third (white) female now though at least.
Now they have "Customer Support Specialist", "Office Manager", and "Product Manager" ran by females. Such important board-level roles! Oh and the black dog. Such a bastion of feminism and diversity!
The only thing those "developers" are developing are new reasons to ban people for tickling their anus the wrong way.
So, compared to when I last posted about this in March 2024 (above):
https://www.nexusmods.com/about
The head ****** is still listed as "Founder", and his chief toadie and dog (STILL the only "diversity" besides a few new white women, this is practically the Huffington Post) are still there, so they're still involved.
Aside from one or two posts that have switched and promotions, they have a new QA and content creator team, and that's....about it. The main **** "moderator" (matthew) has now gone, but the rest are still there, as are the majority of the (tech) team.
They have a new CEO and CTO (likely who they "sold" it to), but the main team overall are still the same people. Don't expect much change, here.

Then:

Now:

Image

26/34 of the people that were there in March 2024, are still there, lol. (Including the ******* dog).
The fact they've "sold" makes no difference when the overall team is the same.
This looks to be "Charlie"? (Who's now been promoted to Head of Moderation, as Matthew has left).
Good lad. It's certainly progress from the "We're all about diversity" pandering. I wonder how much of it is the change in Nexus' moderation team, as opposed to the new CEO.
I wonder if Nexus took a hit last time Reddit sperged, or whether the personnel has changed just slightly enough that they're now going by law rather than virtue signalling.

Either way it's a step in the right direction that gives presence rather than supporting cancel-culture. (See what I mean about slight tweaks and getting your suit on?). It also makes ****** seethe that they're not banned outright, and I like that they called out the Reddit *****'s inaccuracies and stated they locked comments to protect Orin from abuse. :D

Although you're never going to get "based" stuff on there (unless Nexus moves away from the UK, or the UK govt somehow DRASTICALLY changes), you can post "Real World Issues" stuff as long as it's appropriately tagged, and doesn't "target protected characteristics". It's also good to know that they no longer consider off-site behaviour as bannable.
Probably best to keep posting full de-woke stuff here, and (where you can be bothered) some scaled-down neutral versions on Nexus to maintain public presence.

Either way, some ground was regained today. Good work @orinEsque :salute:

James Lucas is an Executive Editor at TheGamer who has worked in professional journalism since 2018. A Newcastle University graduate with a degree in Journalism, Media, and Culture, they have written hundreds of guides, news stories, and original reports, with bylines in IGN, NME, GaymingMag, and VG247, sourcing interviews with studio heads, legendary industry figures, prominent actors, and more.

An expert on FPS games, Soulslikes, RPGs, and survival horror, James has intimate knowledge of a wide variety of titles, providing in-depth coverage and exclusive profiles. Some of the games they have extensively covered include: Half-Life 3, Counter-Strike, Elden Ring, and Fallout. They pride themselves on their consistently thorough research, leveraging nearly a decade of industry experience. You can reach them at [email protected]


In 2023, the controversial Baldur's Gate 3 modpack 'No Alphabets' — which removed LGBTQ+ aspects from the game — was delisted from the Nexus website, along with the infamous Ser Aylin gender swap, which was explicitly done to make her relationship with Isobel heterosexual. This modpack unfortunately continues to exist and take shape on alternate sites, but the poster was banned, and thus unable to share these creations on one of the largest modding platforms.

However, two days ago, modpack creator orinEsque made a Nexus account to post a new mod called Dignify. On the surface, it appears benign, but at its core, it's a clothing pack that updates several outfits throughout the game, including Astarion and Gale's. Though when it was first uploaded earlier this week, it was a completely different story. Originally, the mod required you to download the 'Alternate Wyll Origin Appearance', which makes him white (this isn't hosted on Nexus itself). After much backlash, the requirement — which, given the nature of the mod, made no sense to begin with — was removed, and the comments disabled.

"You Can See His Bigotry Shine Through"

Image

Even after this update, many have noted that, while not as overt as outright removing LGBTQ+ characters or whitewashing Black companions, Dignify is still rooted in the puritanical sentiment of the 'No Alphabets' pack that made orinEsque such an infamous name in the modding community, as each adjustment to clothing covers up skin or suggestive elements, while an optional download also makes underwear permanent, thus preventing any nudity.

"If you look closer at the mod, you can see his bigotry shine through: of course women have to wear long skirts instead of pants and being modest, Astarion doesn't have any kind of shape in a very tight pant," u/Lavinia_Foxglove noted on r/BG3mods.

It's unclear why Dignify is still available considering the original requirements, especially when taking into consideration Nexus' statement on the whole debacle with the No Alphabets modpack: "We are for inclusivity, we are for diversity," it said. "If we think someone is uploading a mod on our site with the intent to deliberately be against inclusivity and/or diversity then we will take action against it."



orinEsque likewise has not been banned because of Dignify or their association with other controversial mods, which they hint at in their bio, noting that if you like their work, "you can find more" of their mods on other platforms.

Covid must have hit business hard if he makes his money on such drivel.

I think its the same guy who made the reddit thread. Reddit guy is "pretending" he can't edit the post :lol: . What a load of ****. He wrote some lie to get some traction then wrote his article on his own reddit post.

I'm sure this will upset the entirety of the modern audience.

All 57 of them

Modem day "journalism", lazily reposting from Reddit, including inaccuracies / lies.
I see they disabled comments, too.

This is shocking to me they would change their radical left/anti-white political slant to a stance based solely on legal enforcement... I wonder what is the goal here. Maybe they were worried more people would jump ship to other mod sites or make their own and destroy their monopoly on mod hosting

People probably unsubscribed out of annoyance with all the cancel culture :scratch-pipe: . That or they genuinely got people that are against cancel culture. Times a changing. I'm gonna clarify with them what's allowed and what's not allowed. And probably post what's allowed. As you can see my mere presence causes seethe :lol:.

Probably lost a LOT of money and suffered reputation damage, when they persecuted Yedlike.
Now they're just going by hosted country law, which is fair enough. (Though they're probably stretching it a bit. Then again positive discrimination is a thing and people get arrested for tweets over there, so I'm not surprised they'd want to play it safe).
It does make a change to the "We're all about diversity" crap (when they're clearly not, considering they have none on their team). Maybe they could do with hiring a few Indians!

Looking for a job, @orinEsque ? :lol:

That article is deranged. But we all know that, journalists are subhuman.

Wouldnt trust the nexus people though. How long before the modders themselves get assmad and private their mods like its reddit or something causing the nexus staff to ban you.

Literally cannot trust them.

Any chance of a screen-shot? I got cancelled on Reddit for pointing out that the clothes you can wear in Bloodlines 2 are mostly genderless, and I don't really feel like re-animating my precense in that neather-realm. (Just out of interest) :old2:

...which is funny because: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6769 has been here for a while.

So... Orin replacing Astarion's weirdly girly faux-leather-leggings with some stylish pants is a problem... but when that other guy does the same thing, it's praised.

Same message, different messenger. People shooting the messenger they want to vilify.

Also: I've read some of the reddit thread they rage in... Holy moly, I've never seen such a cesspool of hatred and conspiracy theories. But I'm European which makes me inherently more innocent when it comes to that sort of thing I guess - and more easily horrified by those *****-scar-body-mutilation mods that are no problem to nexus. Because it's not normalized here. Maybe in the big metropolitan cities, but certainly not in the majority of small and medium town areas. I personally find that kind of mod triggering beyond belief, and there's not even an option to hide things like that.

What the hell is that DignifAI conspiracy they project your Dignify title choice on? Making the nobility of Baldur's Gate get dressed in more lavish clothing - for the sole reason that rich people would be showing off that they can afford plenty of expensive cloth - so they look like the dignitaries that they are supposed to be is a beautiful, immersion-intensifying thing. We can still dress up our Tavs and companions in NSFW thigh-revealing clothing for photo mode regardless. :P

I downloaded Dignify on nexus to contribute to your beloved DL counter and endorsed it too.

For such a harmless mod to catch so much flak and downright slander should be unheard of.

I wonder if a mod that makes them wear even more revealing clothing and styles that are even less fitting for noblewomen would receive the same kind of scrutiny... So... Slutify when?

Looks like some mod ****** don't like Astarion's pants lmao
...which is funny because: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/6769 has been here for a while.

So... Orin replacing Astarion's weirdly girly faux-leather-leggings with some stylish pants is a problem... but when that other guy does the same thing, it's praised.

Thanks Seristina :heart: . Although if you are using it for the first time, remember to put it above dignify, so RR can take higher priority. Silver made some lovely edits on some of the noblemen and women.

If I were to do a coomer mod, I'd get called an incel. There is no way to appease ******. And no one should ever try.

Most of them stubbornly cling to the misconception that you're a dude already, so 'incel' would be the natural escalation anyway. :popcorn2:

Rules for thee but not for me essentially. I bet if Orin made a mod that gave Astarion low cut pants that showed his *** they wouldn't complain lol

@bennylava If you want, you or someone else can try hosting Even Better Romance as "Straight Romances Only" or something. Here's a thumbnail for it

I'm not optimistic on its odds of staying up, but if you properly moderate it per @UsernameMustBeBetwee's advice, maybe it'll stay. I don't wanna do it myself since that sounds torturous

Things to note
  • I would keep permissions open on the mod
  • Lock the comments
  • You need to reject tags that are added by angry ****** brigading your mod
  • Don't link this place or direct people to HQ, as that will get you banned

Important to say that you got the authors' permission. Honestly all our stuff has open permission. (I stipulate for my mods that your can't make dp or money on it. Not sure about lore)

Previous name is better. The word "straight" will immediately go into the "violates/targets protected characteristics" argument.

Make sure everything is generic and doesn't "target" anything, and you're working with them to not violate their ToS or cause problems for them beyond a load of reaching ******. They've thrown quite an olive branch (Whatever the intentions) by posting publicly, so it's good to show that back.

Mods are mods, the content should speak for itself.
