Really weird way to look at it. Mods are basically fan art. It’s from people who appreciate the original work so much that they want to diversify the experience. Yes, you change the original work to a degree, sometimes vastly, but that’s not meant as a disrespect to the original work. But I guess this is also people having their heads deep up in Nintendo’s ass specifically, who has always been extremely toxic & hostile towards any sort of fan modding or recreations. I guess that sort of corporate dominance leaves a mark on people. The West has different but similar corporate based rewiring / brainwashing for their products too.
