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.

If they didn’t we’d be on here saying they should be allowing free speech. There’s a balance. Better thing to do instead of trying to blame Valve is to call out the curator themselves so we can call them out on their shite beliefs

Libs have been saying that for decades and look at the rise of bigoted beliefs all over the world right now. Seems that’s not the way to go; if you tolerate intolerance then intolerance will win every time.
Eh true, that’s fair.
They would just block me for being overtly gay.
No, Valve and GabeN can go fuck themselves if they’re willing to tolerate this.
I wonder how many of the people following it are taking them as recommendations instead of warnings
I mean, I am curious about these titles now lol
Same
Well it’s no longer pride month, so why give a fuck about your customers and fans?
Personally, steam reviews don’t make me want, or not want to play games. That being said, if I saw these reviews on a game that I had any interest in acquiring, I would consider it a selling point.
Normally I judge stuff for myself. I’ll watch reviews, and gameplay footage, etc before making any kind of purchasing decision. Steam reviews are usually checked, but they don’t weigh into the decision strongly enough for me to care.
With all that being said, intentionally bombing a games score en masse with either bot/alt/spam accounts just because you personally don’t like them, is seriously uncool.
Between quite a few developers being queer and queer inclusion in the actual games it won’t be long before these reviewers can’t even play Candy Crush.
Self-exclusion FTW
“Very heterosexual person” plays every gay game they can find, looking for every gay experience they can do in the game
So i gotta ask what that first game’s full title is
//TODO: today. Free to play game that’s about 4 hours long. Very chill vibes. I’d recommend it.
Unt Then is on my wishlist, nice
That far right one is almost self awarewolves level
Steam allows games that let people role play being a pervert on a Japanese train. I’m not sure they’ll take action on this.

I don’t think this is “steam allowing it” and rather steam not being able to scan all the reviews for this shit.

Reporting them and letting steam decide whether or not to take it down is the only way to know if they’re fine with it.

Yes but depends on if the reports are processed automatically or reviewed by a human.
