The gaming world has been shaken by a scandal that could only exist in the bizarre intersection of politics and geek culture. The administration of the largest mod-sharing platform, Nexus Mods, removed a controversial mod for Marvel Rivals featuring Donald Trump. Why, you ask? Apparently, Hunter Biden himself «personally requested» its deletion. Yes, the same Hunter Biden who allegedly spends his free time between scandals playing Marvel Rivals. 🎮💉
Donald Trump Mod Sparks Chaos – Biden, Marvel, and Censorship Drama 🚨🕹️
The controversy began when a group of enthusiastic modders added Trump-themed skins to the team-based superhero shooter. The mod, featuring Trump wielding a bottle of «Sunscreen Spray 3000» as a shield, was promptly deleted for violating Nexus Mods’ strict «no American political mods» policy introduced in 2020. According to Marvel, superheroes can’t use sunscreen as a weapon because it «violates the franchise’s sacred canons». Critics, however, believe the real issue was that Trump’s character would instantly win every match by declaring «You’re fired!» to all enemies. 🔥🦸♂️
This isn’t the first time Nexus Mods moderators have found themselves in hot water over their content policies. In 2022, they famously removed mods that replaced Spider-Man’s in-game rainbow flags with American ones but allowed mods that turned every flag into either rainbow pride or Black Lives Matter banners. Similarly, mods that lightened the skin tone of Black characters disappeared faster than you can say «cancel culture», while the opposite edits thrived. 🎭⚖️
Hunter Biden’s alleged involvement has only added fuel to the fire. Reports from «industry insiders» claim that Joe Biden’s son contacted Nexus Mods directly, demanding that «there be no Trumps on the server». Social media erupted with memes about Biden’s late-night gaming marathons interrupted only by, well, other substances. «Hunter’s grinding Marvel Rivals when he’s not grinding… other things,» quipped one Twitter user, accompanied by a collage of memes showing Biden alongside Thanos and Captain America. 💊😂
The mod’s defenders argue that Nexus Mods is selectively enforcing its own policies. «It’s not about rules, it’s about feelings,» said one disgruntled gamer. «They can’t handle Trump using Captain America’s shield because it reminds them too much of 2016. Deal with it.» Meanwhile, others joked that the sunscreen spray concept was a clever dig at Marvel’s obsession with overpowered gadgets – «Imagine if Stark Industries had invented SPF 1000 instead of the Iron Man suit,» one modder wrote on Reddit.
Marvel itself has also weighed in, claiming that the Trump mod was «clearly inconsistent with our heroes’ ethos». In an official statement, they clarified, «Marvel superheroes do not represent divisive political ideologies. They are neutral symbols of hope.» Ironically, this statement was released just days after Marvel announced The Woke Crusaders, a new comic series about socially-conscious superheroes tackling climate change with TikTok challenges. 🛡️🌱
