Sure, if we're talking about small children innocently changing characters to be more like them, that's a totally fair argument. But the context here is a publicly homophobic modder working for weeks to create a full mod to erase gay characters.
I'm talking about intent, and people have pointed out that the intent of the creator was hateful, so the creator is a bigot. But the top level comment that I responded to was a pretty blanket statement that any changing of a character (gay to straight or black to white) was bigoted "plain and simple."
I'm disagreeing with that premise, not that the modder is a bigot.
