It's always funny to me when people pull up the "private companies" thing like it's a shield from criticism. We are allowed to not like something that a privately-owned company or website or whatever does, and we are allowed to comment on those things we don't like.

If not I've been committing a grievous sin to privately-owned Valve Corp since forever... But at least I make up for my transgress by constantly buying their ****. It's like penance.

I'd be interested to see if this whole thing was the other way around, and Nexus took down a mod that put the trans flag everywhere, would the person saying "they're a private site, they can do what they want" still be preaching that, or would they be preaching about how there's a social responsibility to marginalized groups or whatever?

Oh, I can't imagine the double standard that would come into being on the flipside..
