Bethesda bans Doom mod about a resurrected mech-demon Margaret Thatcher because it's apparently a bit close to 'real-world politics'

Rip and tear, but just not there.

So Wolfenstein is fair game because that's clearly satire, with roided up, mecha Nazis, but this is bad because... robot Thatcher? Sure, that makes sense.
What did they think Wolfenstein was?
- Maybe they confused it for another game.
- Oh man, there's a great dark joke response to this but I don't wanna get banned or perpetuate conspiracies.
  
  Well now I gotta know.
Being able to kill Margret Thatcher in Doom is the most morally acceptable thing you could ever possibly do. It's a game about blasting demons and fucking shit up in Hell, ain't it?
Goddamn it Todd, you want it as Skyrim mod, don't you?
Sounds like it fits Doom perfectly
It's so funny how hated this woman still is, keep it going brits lmao
- I'm not super well versed in British politics but isn't she basically the British Ronald Regan?
  
  And if you're not familiar with Reagan, let's just say I hope Trump gets buried next to him so I can piss on both their graves at the same time.
  
  Haha, I didn't know that it's as bad with Reagan as Thatcher!
- Frankie Boyle has opinions.
How is Bethesda doing literally anything about what people are doing to Doom?
- They just removed it from their mod loader in the recent re-release.
  
  Sounds like a reason to not use their mod loader. Forget nanny software.
What is the different between Tories and demons? What about Thatcher looking like the Spiderdemon?
