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.
What a pathetic and sad way to spend time in your life. Spreading hate...
I get not being interested in games that have strong lgbtq+ themes or story. I'm not, but I'm also glad they exist and people can find games that represent them. I'm also not opposed to playing as an lgbtq+ character in the same way I don't mind playing as a female character.
Being so close minded you can't stand for sandbox games to allow you to make a pride flag, or an RPG allow you to make a non binary character is just hateful.
time to report this to valve
There's a lot more than that: https://store.steampowered.com/curators/topcurators/?filter=all&keywords=woke&x=0&y=0#
Some of these cute curators don't understand subtext. Labelling the game Unpacking as not woke.
You reported the page, did Steam respond?
No and I don’t expect anything to come of it.
Share this link with steam. It links to what their definition of “woke” is, and it’s egregious enough it should goad Steam to take action.
Why is this an issue? Should all people enjoy LGBTQ+ content and not have any way to avoid it if they so wish? Also, the curator is not using offensive language, just pointing out which content has pro-LGBTQ+ content.
A total non issue my dudes. Perhaps there are more important fights out there?
edit Even the screenshot includes the "Ignore this curator" button. Does it not work for you? Shit like this is why nobody except your own bubble is taking you seriously.
you should get your ears checked. lotsa whistling of a certain kind in the words this curator used.
e : also, one shitty thing doesn't mean another can't exist. not sure why you're here in the first place.
Steam has a hard limit on like 200 curators to ignore, after which point it will print a vague error about it not working. I know, I hit that limit. That's not a solution.
I find their selective use of quotation marks quite offensive.
I agree, that is a bannable offense.
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.
hate speech is free speech…
…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.
I don't think that they promote homophobia. The texts clearly are in favor of the games, they probably missed the Recommend button several times in a row
While I see where you are coming from is it not possible that such reviews might ironically benefit the LGBTQ+ as it helps to identify content that might resonate with the individual? Admittedly "Woke Watch" has fascist connotations.
We can just have curators bring focus on those games in a positive manner then. We really don't need to give fuck wads like these any ground to stand on, they'll just use it as a staging ground to push from. Besides if even hypothetically we entertain the idea of us getting something positive out of this it's not worth it. We're not painting a mountain range, there's no happy accidents with bigotry involved.
