A mod allowing you to change the gender of a character Baldur’s Gate 3aiming to heterosexualize a lesbian relationship, did not make a single mistake.
The Nexus Mods portal allows, as its name suggests, to have access to multiple mods to play your games differently. But, for creators, there are conditions to respect. This was not the case for Yedlike, whose account was banned on December 4 after offering, within a few hours, an anti-LGBTQIA+ mod for Baldur’s Gate 3.
“ The mod sought to reduce diversity in Baldur’s Gate 3 by taking a homosexual couple and changing the gender of one partner to be heterosexual », Indicates the Nexus Mods bot in the official forums. He adds that the site is for both diversity and inclusiveness. A few weeks ago, an “anti-woke” mod for Starfield was banned for the same reasons.
Players want to make Baldur’s Gate 3 less inclusive
The mod in question, called “Ser Aylin” modified Lady Aylin’s gender so that she became a “ credible male version “. Besides the appearance, he also changed his voice using artificial intelligence. While some may think that it was a simple experiment, the goal was in reality to make a relationship heterosexual in Baldur’s Gate 3, Lady Aylin maintaining a romance with Isobel. By becoming a man, she would no longer be a lesbian.
In this topic published on Reddit on December 4, we can see that the “Ser Aylin” mod is part of a much more ambitious anti-LGBTQIA+ project, called “No Alphabets”. It will not be found on Nexus Mods but via more obscure platforms, accessible by a simple Google search. Its description states: “ This mod turns all characters who don’t fit medieval standards (read: LGBTQ) into normal citizens of Faerûn. »
“ The ‘No Alphabets’ mod ensures that characters’ gender and sexuality correspond to the medieval status quo. In particular, it uses the power of artificial voice intelligence to modify Aylin, two quests and 13 other characters », We can also read. In the list of things modified, we also discover that we will no longer be able to select the non-binary option in the avatar creation tool. In Baldur’s Gate 3, customization is normally very advanced to allow everyone to embody who they want, with the genre they want. “No Alphabets” goes against this freedom offered by the developers. And some users go so far as to ask to remove vitiligo, a disease that depigments the skin.
