I reported them for harassment with the following statement:
The purpose of this group is to review bomb any game that has gay representation. Their discussion threads talk about using other platforms to discriminate against LGBTQ+ communities and individuals to circumvent Steam’s TOS policies. This type of behavior promotes discrimination, review brigading, and toxicity. It is surprising Steam is tolerating such open homophobia on this platform.
Let them. Their just outting themselves as a bigot while promoting games. If anything follow them and thank them for promoting lgbtq friendly games if you want them to stop.
This is fine but they often flood the community board with bigoted content and those aren’t removed by Valve either, and they show up on everyone’s dashboard depending on configuration.
sigh Of course they do. Yeah valve should probably do something about those bigots.
Unfortunately they don’t. I think after the Hatred game debacle, they released new policies saying people can post whatever they want as long as it’s genuine and not trolling, but I think this applies to games only. As for everything else, the company is extremely libertarian and hands off with leadership, development, and moderation. You can find hundreds of neo nazi grooming steam groups, and one of them was in the news a few years back for being where two canadian neo nazi murderers met
deplatforming is good actually
No free speech for bigots
If you let them in you drive away the people they’re hateful towards. Eventually they take over the community. The only way to stop that is to nip it in the bud.
Let the bigots make the world worse! It’s only hurting and killing trans people who cares.
personally i’m with you lemmy.ml person, I think using their reviews to find the hottest and gayest games and thanking them for consuming all this queer content like they’ve done a service to the gay community is a p. funny route which would probably make them quite mad
not sure why all the hexbears only focused on “let them [be a bigot]” here especially when it sounds like Valve isn’t going to ban them so something like this is really the only practical recourse available other than stewing over the fact that this person should be thrown into a pit
Honestly idk much about Internet culture. But I do know r/calamariraceteam is full of hot sexy motorcycle boys and it wasn’t always that way.
