Marvel Rivals mods with Trump and Biden removed, Nexus Mods owner threatened

Marvel Rivals' Nexus Mods controversy deepens after over 500 modifications were submitted in a single month. A recent removal of mods sparked outrage. These mods replaced Captain America's head with images of Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Nexus Mods owner, TheDarkOne, clarified the simultaneous removal of both mods on Reddit, aiming to prevent accusations of political bias. TheDarkOne noted, "We removed the Biden mod the same day as the Trump mod to avoid bias. Yet, YouTube commentators remain strangely silent on this."

The situation escalated when TheDarkOne reported receiving threats following the removals. "We're receiving death threats, being called pedophiles, and enduring various insults simply because someone chose to inflame this issue," TheDarkOne added.

This isn't Nexus Mods' first controversy over mod removals. In 2022, a Spider-Man Remastered mod replacing rainbow flags with American flags was removed. The site's owners publicly supported inclusivity and stated their intention to remove content opposing diversity.

TheDarkOne concluded, "We won't waste time on those who find this objectionable."
