What is this I'm hearing about people giving a modder crap for making a Cassandra female romance mod?

if they are on the internet ranting about video games I am willing to bet their actual motivation for carrying out said threats is minimal. 

Perhaps, but the possibility of even 1% of it not being just words is enough for me at least to not take that bet.

The most anyone has said is that the mod is bad. That's literally it. Nobody (no rational people anyway, I'm sure there are crazies taking it to their usual insanity) is personally attacking the mod maker, calling them any kind of names. I like to think I'd know, since I'm one of the people criticizing the mod. 

 

If the mod maker took the mod down because some people said mean things to him/her, then that's his/her fault for taking online comments personally.

 

You've already been told on the Cassandra thread that the mod creator is a victim of sexual assault who was likened to a rapist for creating the mod so yeah this does sound like victim blaming.

You must not do much of anything then.

 

You're more likely to get attacked by a shark than get shot up because someone said something mean online.

 

To put that into perspective, you're more likely to get f**ked up by a turtle than you are to be attacked by a shark.

 

It turns out sharks aren't very threatening animals.

Would be nice if people learned what victim blaming actually entailed. I already explained why nothing I've said so far is victim blaming.

I don't have a problem with sexuality or appearance mods unless they state that the changes they've made "fix" the character or make them "better" because that's insensitive and arrogant.
I used a few different appearance mods in DA2; there were some really nice, subtle tweaks to faces as well as more dramatic reimaginings that were also pretty cool.

No hypocrisy! Modding should be a two-way street. If a mod that makes a PoC white is allowed, so is a mod that makes a white character a PoC. If there is a mod that makes a straight character bi, mods that make gay characters bi should also be permitted.

If the mere existence of mods you disagree with (or opinions you disagree with) triggers you - you deserve better and should seek help, because that is a sign of deeper issues.

This is funny, I hope you do realize how hilarious it is.

I'm tempted to make a bi Dorian mod just to spite those assh*les.

 

I'm not sure some writers would appreciate their characters sexuality being modded and turned into ammunition just to spite people.

 

I don't care that people use the mod, but I think they should at least have some respect for the writer and the character (and yes, I realize said characters aren't real, but the writers certainly are).

I give you that, there is victims of things, and people blaming involved.

 

Let's stay with video games, for everyone's sake.

Yeah, I think it's pretty funny how turtles kill more people than sharks every year.

 

Unless you meant something else, in which case no, because I'm not a mind-reader or a wizard.

A fine example of why Romance just needs to die. When people are told what they can or can't mod in their own games.

(to o Ventus) I like sharks, they can be rather adorable with some of their tendencies like how some sharks tangle themselves in kelp, I believe, and have other sharks chase them around.

It didn't happen on BSN. The discussion that she responded to on BSN was pretty civil (at least at the time she posted, I haven't kept up with it since then.) They were criticizing the mod.

 

She was told that she was a deviant pervert on the Cassandra thread

I remember a dev ranting about something similar on Twitter

No, she wasn't. I was there for that discussion, and nothing even remotely of the sort was said.

Does this mean that they should remove skin colours as well?

Skin colors, nationalities, and sex/gender.

 

Every character is an amorphous blob from Blobland.

If people are going throw fit over every single thing in these games for the sake of "equality" and "representation" I say make everyone and everything Asexual grey blobs so no one is offended.

"Game that offends no one on earth" is already a sticky note on the bottom right corner of Peter Molyneux' screen.

Until you stumble on that 1%. I rather to be on the cautious side, so it's a matter of willingness to take the risk and whenever you deem it's worth it, as with any things in life. In this particular case it is not worth it to me, it might be worth to you and that's fine.

 

You can't avoid everything of course, I had someone point gun at  me in the middle of a very busy street just because the guy liked how I looked and wanted to impress me, it was a sticky situation and one I didn't provoke. Things happen.

 

Yeah, I think it's pretty funny how turtles kill more people than sharks every year.

 

Unless you meant something else, in which case no, because I'm not a mind-reader or a wizard.

You might want to word your arguments better, i have no interest arguing about whenever I'm a dull person or not and whenever sharks and turtles have any relevance in my not wanting to actively put myself in a risky situations.

Your first mistake was looking at 4chan  :lol:

 

Depends where you go on 4chan, the cosplay board is usually OK, the Mass Effect General thread was OK but really really boring, just people posting pictures of their waifus, griping about Garrus not being a love interest for male Shepard and being obsessed with some girl called Claire Chan.

 

The /b/ board is the one that's full of trolls of the boards that I'm most familiar with

I acknowledged that one person said that. That doesn't change the fact that the discussion of the mod was pretty civil.
