Steam allowing curators to promote homophobia.

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.

Don’t worry guys, I’ll sift through all this gay hentai so you guys don’t have to I’m a hero!

Thanks lad, can’t wait for you to find all the airport toilets that should be avoided so I don’t accidentally wander my way into a BJ.

NOT RECOMMENDED

[...] Non-binary character option.

HoW dArE tHeY GiVe Me OpTiOnS?!

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.

I don't see this as an issue, I see it as a recommendation list.

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

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 I used to get various death threats because of a trans flag in my profile, it's been replaced by spam scammers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...

what, you think a company that makes more than ten billion dollars a year should be able to afford basic moderation?

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

548 followers, they're insignificant. Yeah, they suck, but there's literally a button to make them go away and you never see them again.

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.

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

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.

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...

who curates the curators?

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!

Ironically the LGBT community could probably use this list really well to find games they want to play involving lgbt things

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

Would be neat to inverse subscribe to a curator, which would have the system recommend you the opposite of what they do.

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

There's a lot more than that: https://store.steampowered.com/curators/topcurators/?filter=all&keywords=woke&x=0&y=0#

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

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.

What a pathetic and sad way to spend time in your life. Spreading hate...

You reported the page, did Steam respond?

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.

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 literally can't find a report button on mobile

Hold on, Animal Jam is on Steam now? I remember when that was a Flash game.

time to report this to valve

WHY IS DEI BAD

I get sometimes it can get excessive, but c'mon! This is like the equivalent of the 5 yr old with their mother pointing out random shit in public.
