Mods are a different beast and not representative of the game, devs, or player base. Mods like this often get removed from big modding sites like Nexus, forcing them to be mostly in their own spaces. (There is/was a bg3 mod overhaul that makes every black npc white, some lesbian npcs into men so they are straight couples, the ability to change your gender and lock it to the body types. Etc and so on. But you can't find it on Nexus. I remember the white Wyll mod but it got removed within 3 days)

It's another matter entirely when a developer bakes this kind of shit into the game. Not every game has mod support and not everyone mods.
