People in other threads are saying it’s because he helped make a mod for a game where you can make all the characters white. Which is apparently enraging.
But like, it’s racist if I want to modify a single player game to make the players white? And even if it is I wish people would just butt out. Seems like a bunch of busybodies policing behavior. It’s just gotten crazy and is really dumb at this point. Are we going to have to have a “free speech GitHub” run by Elon Musk too? How did the internet turn into such a snooze fest where every edgelord has to be sanded down to be safe and snuggly so nobody gets hurt?
I remember my wife got banned from the Sims mod community for asking if there was a mod that’d let her simulate Craster’s Keep from Game of Thrones. She likes telling bizarre stories through electronic media. If she wanted to tell that story in Rimworld (which like, I don’t play Rimworld so just guessing) she’d need a mod to make the skin tones match up. Uh oh is that racist now?
