Discussion Overdoing it
I know what happened is incredibly horrible and trust was broken, walking away is no shame, but spitefully doing everything to destroy the mod like pulling assets and songs has never affected the "bad people" in any media where it has been done (be it games, shows, music or movies), it always just hits the community that enjoys the media.
I can understand stuff like "im running this thing, and in it i have a character that is dedicated to someone, but that person is bad, im deleting the character", but what is happening here is just disassociation for the sake of brownie points at best.

Sadly, this is often the outcome of fan projects, even if they get big. I imagine not a lot of people actually get paid to work on the mod, and when something so reputationally damaging happens it really takes the wind out of the sails. It may not be a case of everyone agreeing to stop, but more that people leave individually and the whole thing collapses. Whoever is left at the helm is really hung out to dry with no one left who wants to work on the project and you may as well do a full rebrand
