Nexus Mods takes down Starfield mod removing pronouns, reinforces stance on inclusivity
Nexus Mods, one of the largest sites for game mods, has deleted a mod that removed pronouns from Starfield’s character creator. This option to select different pronouns became a hot-button topic prior to Starfield’s release, with a small but vocal minority of the game’s player base demanding refunds after discovering the feature in early access.
The mod in question affected the pronoun selector from the game’s character creator entirely. According to multiple player reports, this mod removed he/him and she/her pronouns, defaulting everyone to they/them and occasionally botching moments of dialogue to the point where conversations became nonsensical.
