But if two people are doing the same exact thing for the same exact reason

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.
