Disable emotes on cards, emotes that target enemies, and emotes that target allies.
Other players do not need this mod - it disables the emotes as they are received by you.
Install BepInEx.
Download the latest release and put it in your BepInEx plugins folder.
Change settings in BepInEx\config\com.meds.backseatingbegone.cfg (appears after first run) OR use a configuration manager (I use this one - you want the Mono version) to set them ingame. If you use a config manager you need to change BepInEx\config\BepInEx.cfg: HideManagerGameObject = true.
