Bisexual

1635 readers

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

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.

With that absolutely pathetic follower count I'm not too surprised it's still going under the radar.

Compared to curators that people actually care about, that's a fraction of a fraction.

It’s funny how they can never define “woke” when asked but have no problem labeling any sort of inclusion as woke when they make a list of woke things. To them, woke is just the safe word to say instead of the slurs they want to say.

Anything that isn't a straight white male = woke.

Some of their reviews are so petty that I want to believe it's satire (though I know it's not). Game has a girl that wants to be an astrophysicist? Woke. PCs fighting equally well regardless of gender? Woke. Literally any POC in the game at all? Woke.

These people are so fucking pathetic and hateful, it's mind boggling. I struggle to imagine how they get through a single day without passing out from the shock of seeing all the "woke" things around them.

Just know this is against the Steam TOS but they would have to be reported to have any action taken and it probably won't happen quickly.

Diversity Equity Inclusion. Some businesses have some people to try to make sure their hiring practices aren't discriminatory, and that's referred to as DEI.

But racists are against all of those things so to them DEI is a bad thing. And as these things go, DEI has become a codeword they use to express anger at anyone non-white having a job or represented in any kind of media. Like most dog whistles they pretend that they're cleverly avoiding being overtly racist but it doesn't fool anyone.

These weirdos even think there's an LGBTQ character and boom, instantly triggered. Bonus points for a minority existing as anything else but a target.

who curates the curators?

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

LGBT is a tag on steam so it's really redundant, bigots can just filter the tag on their account page.

Oh no, bro! Hypnospace Outlaw portrays a version of the Internet in 1999 that is more diverse and inclusive than it actually was?? Oh no!

Steam curators are such a stupid feature, why would I care about reviews from some specific person instead of just general users? Also clearly a lot of the curators haven't played the game because lots of them already have reviews on unreleased games

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Curators are just the steam equivalent of movie reviewers.

If you get familiar with a reviewer's take on things it can help to know if something will be enjoyable based on their preferences to yours. For me, I loved Ebert's reviews because it wasn't the score he gave, but how he worded the review. Some reviews were listing the things he disliked, but since I knew he disliked certain things I loved, it let me know that kind of movie getting a low review from him meant it would be dumb fun and not pretentious. Butbif he mentioned something that we both disliked, I knew to skip that movie.

[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Ebert famously reviewed a few things without giving a score; I believe one of them was Human Centipede about which he said, to paraphrase, "You'll like this if this is the sort of thing you like."

There's a big aspect of genre siloing in gaming. Games tend to be developed very hard into specific genres and tropes, not all of which are things I like. However, game developers don't necessarily like to be categorized that way, so the way things are marketed can get very muddled. I like games that are the sort of thing that I like, and when creators are actively working against me finding out what kind of game they made, I don't always know what games are a good match for my tastes.

Then add to that: Often games will get very high ratings because the niche of players they cater to thinks the game is sitting near the apex of that niche--and nobody outside the niche is playing that game. But if that niche is, say, visual novels (which bore me to death), I'm not going to like a game. The high rating is, to me, a false signal.

But this is where curators can help! The fact that it's a specific person with that specific person's tastes is good if I happen to share those tastes. It helps me to avoid high-rated games that don't contain the elements I enjoy in a game; and to find the games that cater to my tastes but aren't marketed in a way that I recognize.

I reported this curator only because it feels like a larger hate group movement in its infancy; Ironically, I got pointed to some gay games that I didn't know were out there. Some devs are going to get some sales out of me. The woke won't go broke, DEI to the moon and back!

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Sadly I expect this kinda shit to be normal

  1. I used to get various death threats because of a trans flag in my profile, it's been replaced by spam scammers
  2. When they didn't take down the Rittenhouse game that stung a bit...
[–] trevor@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

Anyone else using this to find new """woke""" games to play? (After reporting for bigotry, of course)

[–] cimmerian@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't understand the thought process of following something like this. You're just going to be seeing content that annoys you and getting mad...

[–] daltotron@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That is the point, yeah. It's just ragebait, but for the chronically online chuds who fill their days with 2016 era youtube videos that have red arrows on the thumbnail, yellow circles, black outlined white impact font, and then they also have the one picture of that chick yelling when trump got inaugurated.

People get addicted to this kind of stuff because it specifically triggers negative emotions, which they associate to certain phrases, concepts, things, and people, and then they get pushed further and further inward to rationalize it more and more.

Until the curator gets shut down, their list is a great reference of games to buy

Maybe its time that America re-evaluates if they want to give tax exemptions to homophobic cult organizations.
