No one does.

This is patently false because if no one cares, it wouldn't have been removed. It was only removed because enough people cared and spoke up about it. Even just reading this thread makes it clear that plenty of people care about it.

    This comment would mean anything if they had said "no one cares," but what they said was "no one has to care"

    I'm an idiot who can't read. Potentially.... I see they edited their post.

    I feel like there's a smidge of ambiguity in the phrase

    You don’t have to care. No one does.

    Which could parse to

    You don’t have to care. No one has to care.

    or

    You don’t have to care. No one cares.

    I actually don't think it is ambiguous. "You don't have to care" implies that some might, but it doesn't matter. "No one does" is clearly reinforcing that point, rather than making a new point which contradicts the first part of the first point.

    Literally the only care that mattered in this situation is the admin(s) at Nexus mods, and they didn't have to even care that much. The thing could be removed with about 5 minutes of work, if that. Nexus has shown that they will not platform bigotry, and this is them following through on that once again. Other people's opinions didn't even matter.
