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.
Funny thing is, statistically speaking, they’re probably closeted gay themselves.
Seriously though who cares? It’s not really spreading hate - a lot of closeted or close minded people aren’t comfortable with their sexuality and are going to do this.
People don’t have to like everything, relax.
I dunno. I think every list like this ends up helping to normalize hate and bigotry. That said, if I made one of these with a list of Christian games to avoid, it doesn’t mean I hate Christians, it just means that I am looking to avoid games with Christianity in them.
The difference here is that “woke” is a loaded and weaponized term. It’s like having a list of “groomer” games and then filling that list with games featuring LGBT+ characters. It’s based in bigotry.
If you made a list of these that were offensive to Christians would it be bigotry? What about if it was offensive to Muslims? The left? The right?
I’m sorry but we aren’t standing on some mountain top where we can dictate that shit. As long as no one is getting hurt and everyone is an adult who are we to judge? I don’t agree, I find it distasteful sure, but it’s narcissistic if I was to think I can judge.
Let people like and dislike stuff. You’ll only entrench their opinions by restricting them in any case.
The whataboutism is strong with this one. People are getting hurt by this group. Choosing to ignore that is your choice.
