A similar mod that replaced Captain America’s head with Joe Biden was also removed.
It’s unclear why these mods were removed.
Nevertheless, numerous individuals have not only expressed their distaste with Nexus Mods removing the Trump mod on X, but questioned why it was removed in the first place.
One individual wrote, “When did Nexus Mods decide free speech doesn’t apply to modders? Banning something as harmless as Trump as Captain America is just ridiculous—it’s a fun, creative idea that wasn’t hurting anyone. It’s crazy how fragile some people seem to be when it comes to stuff like this. Gaming used to be about freedom and creativity, but over the last few years, it’s been bogged down with microtransactions, forced agendas, and unnecessary censorship. Hopefully, things are starting to shift because gamers are clearly tired of it. Let people enjoy what they want without all this control.”
Nate asked, “Why did you ban the Trump Marvel Rivals mod?
