Why is the Sims community boycotting Curseforge?

I've seen a lot of posts going around calling on Simmers to stop using Curseforge, a modding platform that enables creators to monetize their downloads, with plenty of outrage directed toward modders and CC-makers who are still on the platform. But I've also seen a lot of people who are confused about why there are calls for a boycott.

Curseforge is owned by Overwolf, a company that is donating money to the IDF in support of its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.

In late October/early November, Overwolf posted a graphic on their social media asking followers to "defend our defenders" by contributing financially to a fundraising drive for the IDF. They were met with backlash and quickly took the graphic down, replacing it with one that used language about raising money for "those affected by the violence in Gaza" (my phrasing may be inexact) but the money is still going to the IDF and not to any agency actually supporting civilians or doing humanitarian work.

You can see the original graphic on this change.org petition, which provides some additional context.

If you are using Curseforge in any way -- by hosting your content there or downloading from it -- you are giving money to a company that is raising funds for an ongoing military campaign against a civilian population.

This is why people are calling for a boycott. If you are a modder or CC maker for the Sims, you should remove all of your content from the website and redirect people to other DL sources. If you are a consumer of mods and CC, you should stop clicking curseforge links and send (polite!) messages to modders and CC makers to urge them to pull their content from the site.

ETA: Here's another link with more images of the original Overwolf Tweet!

cw: period-typical misogyny

"Mazel tov, Francis," one of his pals from the gang congratulates while playing some pool. "You're a man now- just don't go thinking you're the bee's knees just 'cause your sister's our boss!"

Francis just chuckles and shakes his head. "Baloney, Henry. I'm a respectable fellow. Though, it is quite tough to not gloat to you boys. Spending your youth being picked on by a bunch of thugs, only to end up as their leader? Well, a man cannot help but indulge in poking fun."

"You'll have to get a bit of hair on your chest before we start taking orders, bub," a fellow named Jack quips.

The men erupt in laughter. Francis laughs along with them, but he cannot wait to really show them what he is made of.

"How's that bearcat of yours, boy?" Henry asks. "She's a real thrill, huh? Broads don't tend to have much of a use doing business, but this girl's got it. And I am not just talking of charisma! Must be a good lay- that is, if you have even lost your cherry!"

The other men laugh again. Francis tries not to appear defensive to their crude comments on Evelyn and their intimacy. He does not want to look soft, it is imperative these fellows see him a man.

"What am I, some dainty doll?" Francis jokes. "I keep what I covet, and I take what is mine. I must please a woman quite wonderfully if she is content with me as the only man in her life. The only dames that hang off your shoulders are tramps, knucklehead."

The other men slap their knees and give Henry a teasing nudge.

"In my pal's defense, the last thing men like us need is a ball and chain," Jack says pointedly. "A woman shouldn't be dragged into this business, it is our duty as men to protect the weak. You are going to break the poor girl's heart or turn her into somebody like your sister."

Francis raises an eyebrow. "What is so wrong about that?"

Jack, trying to avoid Amelia's wrath, says, "Do not get me wrong, friend. Amelia's a fine lady who knows what she is doing. She is just not suitable to be a wife. Hell, she'd tell you that herself. Tread carefully with a headstrong woman, they'll turn you into a weak man if you do not put them in their place from time to time."

The conversation goes into another topic. While the other men jest about their different sexual conquests, Francis starts to get into his own mind. Amelia has always told him to treat a woman with the respect that one would give a man, and he tries to do so with many women in his life.

But what if the other men are right? And what if they start to respect him less for not being assertive with his woman?
