Deleted113287148User Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Hi ,I Am concerned about recent news I have heard that Nexus Mods have banned people for exrcising fredom of speach when the content of this speach dose not align with the values that Nexus Mods have decided are the correct opinion to hold.This is an example of a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race and in this particular case gender polotics above the individual and that stands for centralised autocratic government held by a dictatorial leader, severe social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Personaly I am sick of being told how to think and behaive by corporations as I am an adult who Is perfectly capable of forming my own opinions and acting respectfully without WOKE BASHING from a moderator.The attitude expressed on this topic of If you dont like It theres the door dosent sit well at all. and I am more than willing to delete my account If Nexus Mods refuses to at the verry least review the verry firm stance taken here. I would hope Nexus Mods can provide comment on what they plan to do to protect the freedom of speech and freedom of expression of the community of users and where the line needs to be drawn between something as simple as a person dosent want to see a pride flag in their game session and Hate speach , of which the later understandably need to be sensord but the other hurts no one and sits at the far end of the spectrum.As a counter point to this, sensoring or banning somone for a non issue dose harm people.Further more why should Nexus Mods administrators be the Judge Jury and executioner in these matters . Personaly I think the comunity of users are well capable of deciding for them selves what is appropriate and what is not. Just like the old days If you don't like whats on TV switch it off !I am hoping for a reply that respects my freedom of speach and fredom of expression and I have included the deffinition of the word "fascism " below so that you are reminded of what thes behaviours mean and how dangerous they are and to avoide being this moving foward. I would also like to point out that banning me for or sensoring this post only servs to validate my argument . fascism1. a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition2. a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martijncoenen Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Freedom of speech does not define that you are allowed to exercise that right everywhere. As this website is a private entity it is allowed to enforce it's own rules, except where limited by law. Freedom of Speech, while being one of the most important rights in many countries. does not state that you are able to force this on private websites. You have your right to voice your opinions in public places. In a way to say this more clearly: You are allowed to state your opinion on the street in front of my house, but on my property you cannot if I say I do not allow that. On this website you are bound and agreed on the terms set by the owner. Sure, you can complain to the owner, but rights are limited. *) Skipped parts of publishing stuff regarding speech that exceeds laws such as discrimination, crime, etc etc. that is beyond the scope.

Nephiah Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 "Freedom of speech" doesn't apply to private entities such as this site. Even if it did, it's still morally wrong to upload mods with the intent of spreading hatred or causing harm to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
