The pro-China mod never had it comment section open as far as I can remember. Even looked at on it's initial release. That, along with them only selecting a single thing to translate, and not qualifying the image or any of the rest of the content, leads directly to the problem of dishonesty. Also what you keep tangentially rambling about only highlights the problem and differences even more. You're bringing up the idea of people discussing and disagreeing with a subject. The problem is not that the Hong Kong is being discussed or not, it's that it's an active event happening as we speak, with dishonest propaganda like this mod popping up. Hence also the point that people might post some WW2 thing that people disagree with, but if it's not being used to promote such an agenda then it's not even fulfilling the same role. Even if it was pushing an agenda, if the mod author or commentators make open support for it then that means they are at least being honest about their propaganda. Which the same cannot be said bout the shirt mod here. Continuing to bring up these tangential dialogues as a consequence is only serving to undermine the acknowledgement of an active concern.

Actually, it is. The symbol in question is only banned in a few countries, and in most such places there are legal exemptions for things that qualify as "works of art" pending they are not being used to also promote an associated agenda. That's why use of the symbol is still present in a lot of media that casts it as "the enemy". Same point to address taryl80's argument. WW2 is not a "live" event. It's a historical one, and much of it has been settled. Skinheads are not representative of the current discussion matter. The point was a matter of honesty. The mod refused to have any comment section from the start, does not offer translation for any of it's contents outside of a single English statement, and consequently delivers it as a very misleading statement as to what it actually represents. Even with translation, it expressly avoids admitting or stating the fact that it's anti-Hong-Kong, talking only about a vague matter of violence against officers (while also ignoring violence against citizens). It's not that it's just an agenda piece, it's that it's a dishonest one that refuses to be upfront about it.

Kind of a difference though. The Hong Kong situation is a live-event. Something that is still happening as we speak. Historical events, even major ones like the prior mentioned mod references, are things that are not actively happening. On top of that it's not like that uniform mod is linking to any news or other element to try and glorify the uniform or what it "represents" (besides, that uniform mod really should have just used the BoS symbols on it. :tongue:). Seems the mod author actually went out of their way to address that in their update comments actually. And that wraps around to the problems again with the shirt mod. It's not a thing from a historical event, it's something hearkening to a current event, that does so by also trying to share a specific view, while simultaneously trying to avoid explicitly admitting that the view being shared is antagonistic to the only part of the message it declares in English. You can say political agendas are normal to have in mods, you can even be ok with them being pushed by a mod. But you should at least demand that the author is honest and open about such an agenda.

So addressing this mod; https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41504?tab=description Just wanted to know if Nexus moderation had any particular commentary or opinion regarding it, as it lacks English translation and does not qualify the fact that the image they put on the shirt, though it says "I love Hong Kong" in English, is used as a pro-China control and anti Hong-Kong independence/democracy. Kinda wanted to know if people understood the mod as a poorly explained political-agenda piece and what it was/is pitching.
