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.

on the other hand it looks like a great way to find cool games with good representation and character creation options

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 months ago

On the third hand, chuds get mad about literally nothing so I imagine some of the games will be disappointingly cishet

[–] Grimm 17 points 3 months ago

Reverse engineering. I like it.

squidward-nochill Is it? Is it reaaaaaally?

At risk of sounding like a bootlicker, I have to at least give credit to Steam for making an explicit exemption for trans people changing their account login names from our deadnames. Typically there's no way to change your login name, and it seems like there's probably some fucked up old spaghetti code to blame. But steam support lets you change it specifically if it is your deadname, and it seems like they go out of their way to accommodate us to do that. From what it sounds like when I talked to steam support, as a software developer my self, it sounds like a convoluted manual process that they go through solely to make trans people's lives a little better. They even ask us specifically not to widely share that they are willing to do this, presumably so cis people don't take advantage of it and ruin it for the rest of us. So good for them, honestly.

That's pretty cool

The person who implemented this policy: only-good-gamer

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Yeah, given their actions during the George Floyd protests this is par for the course. For those not aware, some of the employees wanted the company to make a statement and donate money to appropriate charities. Others were tech-chud libertarians who of course wanted to do nothing or outright condemn the movement. The solution the higher-ups came to was to just give every employee several thousand dollars to do with as they saw fit. Want to donate to bail funds? That's just fine! Don't want to donate at all? That's okay too! Would rather just give it to atomwaffen? Go right ahead, just don't make us pick a side!

Gamergate and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Gamergate honestly catapulted the whole thing but I'll keep saying it: I vividly remember everyone gettin mad as fuck about LoZ: Wind Waker because it wasn't Ocarina of Time: More tits and gore and I genuinely think the whole thing has its root causes in gaming starting as a hobby for rich people originally

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

Even before that kojima got death threats for making raiden-source the protagonist of MGS2

Fucking gamers have always sucked but it's also getting worse

[–] Grimm 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I thought the backlash for Wind Waker was because they were expecting the art style that was presented during the GCN tech demo.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

I agree, 90% of what I saw at the time was that the artstyle was too "childish".

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dang I gotta get my game on this list, I had a whole dang patch just to add a trans color palette

[–] Grimm 20 points 3 months ago

Ask them to review your game lmao

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

overtly anti-free speech messaging

I can guarantee you that these kinds of people would lose their shit if people "cancelled" a game developer that released a pro-fascist game.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

Lol right? If we made a list of games made by fascist devs we'd be told we're "cancelling" them and taking away their free speech, but when they do it...

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

It wasn't until I saw my first queer slice of life anime Yuri On Ice in my late 30s that made me realize how developmentally harmed I was not seeing representation in like normal realtionships. Seeing a queer romance blossom in a healthy manner just clicked.

tails-what "I understand why mom watches and gets so involved in those soap operas now."

Then LUCA - still makes me gay aww tear up. Just in animation, story telling - the lack of it growing up hurt me developmentally. Lack of visibility and acceptance.

These frothingfash know it and know exactly what they are doing harming queer people, but especially queer youth. They don't want them to be healthy functional queer adults. If they had their way they'd slap open season on us.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

Steam famously doesn't have strict content guidelines. They don't really remove anything from their marketplace (you can find unfettered racism and mass shooting simulators easily). Valve is very hands off when it comes to moderation, community, third games in a series or really anything.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Oh hell yeah, a list of based games to try

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

hell yeah, a list of awesome woke content to indoctrinate people with!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

I literally unironically wish someone would do this but not dogshit, considering all the time I've spent skimming the trans tag on itch io (also books)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

How do you even see curators these days? I used to have some banger curators I followed but I don't know where that option is now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

A curator that only tells us about the most based games? Sign me up

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

sigh Of course they do. Yeah valve should probably do something about those bigots.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

deplatforming is good actually

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

No free speech for bigots

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Let them.

Let the bigots make the world worse! It's only hurting and killing trans people who cares.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Anti-woke people hating on Animal Jam? Honestly not even angry rn, just sad that such a joyless person exists

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I have "until then" I'm just finishing my current pile of books before I move onto another VN, good to know it's probably going to be good as this loser hates it.
