GTA 5 RP server shut down after making player remove LGBTQI+ clothing

pcgamesn.com:

One GTA 5 RP provider has closed down its dedicated Arabian server after a player on Twitch was made to remove a rainbow-coloured in-game cosmetic, owing to its connections with the LGBTQI+ community. NoPixel, a GTA 5 server popular with streamers, has issued a statement explaining that its Arabian version will be closed immediately. The administrators of Arab NoPixel have also commented on the server’s discontinuation.

‘Dantexstar,’ a Twitch streamer based in Istanbul, broadcast themselves playing GTA 5 on the Arab NoPixel server using an in-game avatar with rainbow-coloured bangles on each wrist. During their stream, Dantexstar received a direct message from an administrator of Arab NoPixel, ‘Zeeedo,’ telling them to remove the clothing items as they were “strictly not allowed.”

In a message reportedly posted to the Arab NoPixel Discord, Zeeedo explains the server’s policies. “As you are all aware, most of the Arab countries [sic] are Muslims, so basically it is against our religious beliefs and culture to openly support the LGBTQ community,” the administrator says, in a message that has since been deleted, but was saved and posted to the Grand Theft Auto fan Reddit. “We cannot condone any LGBTQ actions in the RolePlay and outside the RolePlay related to Arab NoPixel.”

In response, a message has been posted in the central NoPixel Discord server, stating that Arab NoPixel has been permanently closed.

“After a thorough discussion internally between NoPixel management, we have decided to part ways and end any future partnership with NoPixel Arab,” an administrator for the NoPixel Discord, ‘Hon,’ writes. “While NoPixel Arab were willing to make commitments and concessions we personally feel that it is in the best interest
