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.

    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.

      Throwing a blanket over bigots doesn’t solve the problem because they can still recruit other dumbasses to their cause.

          Organize and make a social media disaster for Valve. That usually gets companies like this off their asses.

            if/when it happens, I’ll be there for it (I’ll bring friends too). Between now and then, I’m not holding my breath.

          And what are those recommendations exclusively based on? Just because two thoughts in a row give you a nosebleed doesn’t mean everyone falls for such lazy apologism.

          the cause is to harass lgbt people until they stop existing. This tiny group is doing so by attacking game developers in possibly the most ineffective way possible. If the group follower count was a couple orders of magnitude larger, then I’d be concerned.

      “Hm, there’s a couple guys spray painting slurs on my neighbor’s house … better close the blinds so I don’t have to look at it.”

        Fallacy of false equivalence. Your example is of actual criminal activity (vandalism) resulting in tangible damages (the vandalized home now needs to be repaired, also surrounding properties lose value due to criminal activity).

        Please feel free to try to make your point again, this time without using a logical fallacy or bad faith argument.

          Both are about hateful idiots causing harm to someone else and choosing to ignore it.

          Fallacy of …

          It’s a simile, you dork.
