Nexus Mods Removes Trump and Biden Mods, Owner Faces Threats

Author : Bella Jan 24,2025

Nexus Mods, a popular modding platform, finds itself at the center of a heated debate after removing over 500 user-created modifications for the game Marvel Rivals within a single month. The controversy ignited when mods replacing Captain America's head with images of Joe Biden and Donald Trump were taken down.

The platform's owner, known as TheDarkOne, addressed the situation on Reddit, clarifying that both mods were removed simultaneously to prevent accusations of political bias. TheDarkOne stated, "We removed the Biden mod on the same day as the Trump mod to avoid bias. But for some reason YouTube bloggers are silent about it."

However, this action triggered a wave of online harassment. TheDarkOne revealed, "Today we receive death threats, are called pedophiles, and endure all sorts of insults simply because someone chose to escalate this issue."

This isn't an isolated incident. Nexus Mods faced similar backlash in 2022 when a Spider-Man Remastered mod replacing rainbow flags with American flags was removed. The platform's stance on inclusivity and its policy against content deemed discriminatory were publicly affirmed at that time.

TheDarkOne concluded by stating, "We're not going to waste our time on people who think this is cause for uproar." The situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by online platforms in moderating user-generated content and navigating potentially controversial subjects.
