Starfield's 'make everything cute' mod is just about the most horrifying thing I've ever seen

You might have heard of the "horseshoe theory" in political science, which holds that far-left and far-right groups are actually closer to one another in terms of values and objectives than the political centre, coming together like the prongs of a horseshoe.
