Webheaded: WashPost Cries Foul Over Mod Swapping Spider-Man Game LGBT Flags for US Flags
NewsBusters ^ | 8/25/2022 | Joseph Vazquez

The Washington Post cheered a reported ban of a gamer who made a pro-America modification that offended the rainbow-praising Big Tech overlords.

The Post seethed in a story headlined — “‘Spider-Man’ modification scene turns into Pride flag battlefield” — about how the celebration of the newly released PC version of the LGBTQ+-friendly 2018 game “Marvel’s Spider-Man” was being spoiled by “United States flags.” Huh? In The Post’s own words, some gamers tried to thwart any celebration around last week’s release of the PC game “by taking aim at a very specific target: Pride flags.”

The offending gamer, “a modder going by the handle Mike Hawk (probably don’t try saying it out loud),” released “a mod called ‘Non-Newtownian New York.’” In this fantasyland, Hawk “turned Pride flags into United States flags,” The Post decried. How terrible.

A mod refers “to the process of editing or changing the structure, syntax or code of a game,” according to Techopedia.

Comes as no surprise.

Didn’t we hear the Democrats’ foot soldiers all summer of 2020 chant “No borders, no walls, no USA at all”?

That’s what a lot of mods are for.

To make the game environment someplace the player wants to be.

Mod nazis are the worse. Video games are much more fun with mods then with the PC crap forced on by woke companies.

A flag is a piece of cloth. (US flag burners said do). So trashing a “pride” flag is trashing a piece of cloth.

I hate these people.

I hate these America-hating communists.

Sick of it. Call them what they are.
