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.
Of course Steam tolerates it. Gabe Newell, Steam’s owner, is a hardcore libertarian. I bet he believes that hate speech is free speech.
They will only do anything about it if it will lose them money.
I mean it’s very possible that they simply don’t know about it.
It’s a very small curator.
…as long as it’s profitable and/or aligns with his own views. I bet if it affected the bottom line he’d quash that speech instantly. Libertarians these days are just misers, they don’t really have principles other than keeping their money away from anything they find disagreeable - which is pretty much everything.
How is this hate speech? Reviews literally state what is being promoted in the game.
“I don’t recommend this game because it has gay/female/black people in it.”
^ literal hate speech
It’s not.
