Nexus Mods decides to allow an Oblivion Remastered mod that changes 'body type' options to male/female, declares it's not 'a battleground for broader cultural or political debates'

Ocheeva, an Argonian assassin from Oblivion Remastered.

One of the very, very small changes in Oblivion Remastered is a switch in the character creator from "male" and "female" bodies, as it was in the original, to "body type 1" and "body type 2." It's the sort of thing that would likely go entirely unnoticed were it not for the distressingly predictable explosion of outrage from the usual corners of toxic gamerdom—and, in short order, the creation of a mod that brought back the original male/female body options.

For a few days, Nexus Mods made a point of removing the mod, called Body Type Selector, whenever it was uploaded (and reuploaded), because of course these guys can't take "no" for an answer. But now Nexus has changed course and decided to allow the mod to stand.
