It's been a while and did not see a thread on the forum. Might be that not a single major gaming site is reporting this. If the topic is deemed political, mod please close the thread.
I don't have much too say other than repeating I have no hope for western games for a foreseeable future.

Edit: So someone found out apparently this isn't even an originally created mod, guy just used the assets exiting in the game for Arabic/ Middle Eastern localization.

The open world used by Spider-Man and Miles Morales is a marvellous recreation of NYC that is filled with Easter Eggs and details that keen-eyed explorers can discover, and which also includes touching tributes to the various communities that inhabit the great city. So players can find several Pride flags adorning town hall buildings throughout the map.
A modder going by the name Mike Hawk (har har) uploaded a mod that replaces the rainbow flags with the American flag. The mod page proceeded to quickly fill up with comments, with haters using the chance to vent homophobia alongside other useless witterings, while others pushed back and called out the homophobic mod.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------The mod appeared online for less than 24 hours, however. Nexus Mods confirmed to We Got This Covered that the 'Non-Newtonian New York' mod has been removed, and that its creator's account (as well as an alt account) have been banned. A spokesperson for the site said that the mod creator "is no longer welcome on Nexus".
