Yeah, they pretty much explained this whey said "we are for diversity and inclusion and if we think you're against it will will ban you blah blah blah."
They're openly not following their rules. Theyve been secretly not following their rules for at least 9 years. But now theyre just openly saying they hate you and will ban you at whim because its their website.
I remember back around 2013 the staff was prone to getting emotional and banning or suspending people for having flippant non-political opinions. (Like "I think Character X is ugly, I hope she isnt in the sequel.") But at the time you could negotiate their weirdness because it was all feelings-driven, without much of a witchhunt ideology behind it.
Now that aggressive bigotry (ironically, actual bigotry) is much stronger because it is driven by a fascist and intolerant ideology.
The point is, they made it clear. They arent trying to be neutral. They arent trying to be fair. Theyre trying to crush their enemies. We dont need to discern whether or not they have partisan bias leading to unequal enforcement of the rules, they flat out told us they do. In a way thats a good thing, we can skip that entire charade and the normies cant use "theyre just following the rules" as an excuse.
I don't think that was ever confirmed. Just one of those chan word of mouth rumors that sounded really funny and was just repeated in every thread until it felt true.
Not quite. It is a texture swap, just one that swaps the texture with one that already exists in the game. I do have the mod and could rip it apart to confirm, but I really don't care enough to do that.

Last time OP was posted I thought someone said the mod simply enabled the built-in Middle East Compliance Mode.
