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.

HoW dArE tHeY GiVe Me OpTiOnS?!
P R O N O U N S ? ! ? !
My brain is barely able to handle amateur nouns!
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.
It’s not against ToS. Curation lists discriminate no one.
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 WENT OUTSIDE THE OTHER DAY MATE AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT I SAW???
A FUCKING RAINBOW MATE, RIGHT THERE IN THE SKY!!!
WHERE KIDDIES COULD SEE IT!!!
FUCKING WOKEYS!!! THEY MADE THE FUCKING SKY GAY!!!
😠 😠 😠
“Portrays an ‘alternate history’ version of the internet in 1999 which is more ‘inclusive’ than it actually was.”
LMAO!
Conservatives didn’t even know how to use a computer in the 90’s. Stormfront was created in 95, but it’s userbase was tiny compared to those private facebook groups today.
Can you imagine getting naked and doing the thing with one of these people!!
It would be like having a conversation with a cardboard box.
You and I converse very differently XD
You have been permanently banned from c/Conservative.
time to report this to valve
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.
I keep telling all these gay men to stop sucking my cock but they just won’t! I’m really annoyed about it!
They are not promoting homophobia. This is so mild, that it’s actually insane you’d count it as that. Just because they let both sides speak means they are anti LGBT? No.
Just because they let both sides speak…
Are you the sort of person who feels racists “deserve” to be heard too?
Comparing not recommending games based on politics they dont agree with, to racisists. Congratulations.

I take it you dug no further than… what, the post here? They make their stance VERY clear.
They’re literally anti LGBT though. They are suggesting people not play games because it has LGBT themes, how does this have anything to do with “both sides”? Both sides of what?? I’m gay but most of the games I play have no gay representation, so why would it matter what “side” you’re on unless you’re homophobic and can’t stand seeing someone who’s LGBT?
Left and right. Being right wing and prefering not to play/support games that you fundamentally don’t agree with is fair. Its not “homophobic” for them to notice things they personally don’t align with and not recommend it to other people themselves. Even i can see that, and im ftm.
Nah, still homophobic. Not supporting something you otherwise would, specifically because it has gay people in it is homophobic. It might be part of your political belief, but it’s still homophobic to single out the LGBT themes as a reason to dislike a game. I can see that cuz I’m mtf and bi. And I believe gender and sexuality should even be political in the first place but whatever.
I respectfully disagree.
I understand, I appreciate you taking the time to respectfully explain your point of view
It was literally getting in arms about user generated content that contained pride flags, seems pretty homophobic to me.
Define homophobic. If your definition is hating LGBT people, then its not homophobic. They are free to dislike content that contains political topics they generally dont agree with. Thats not homophobia. You gotta be a bit more accepting of contrarian views.
“Certain groups of people shouldn’t be allowed to exist or show themselves in public” is not a view I am EVER require to respect.
You literally sound like a redneck grandpa but upside down.
Elaborate
“Oh this race shouldnt exist.” “Oh this political group should be shut down and be banned.”
Literally the same shit. If you would like to see any group people get opressed then youre no better than a fascist.
You’re the only one talking about groups being shut down and banned, all I’m saying is the exact opposite, that we shouldn’t censor the very existence of a group of people nor should I respect anyone who called for such a thing.
If a pride event is “overtly pro lgbtq” we have to also count Fourth of July or even Thanksgiving events as “overtly pro USA”, Lunar New Year as “overtly pro Asia”, and Christmas and Easter as “overtly pro Christianity”.
Do you see the problem?
Not op but I don’t particularly see the problem all of those things are true (well I know basically nothing about lunar new years and historical context for it but ye)
Yeah, that’s my point. None of these things are bad, but if we count one of them as such, we have to accept that other events are also problematic. I would for example really like to see Ramadan events in games, but can you imagine the uproar if that were to become a thing?
Ah the problem you were referencing was the cherry picking, thank you for explaining
Yeah it is. Telling other people not to play a game just because it allows the creation of a characrer who is not male or female is pretty homophobic
Clearly not. Its possible to not hate and accept something while chosing to not support it at the same time in your communities.
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.
Lol wonder how they feel if main character is tentacles.
There’s a lot more than that: https://store.steampowered.com/curators/topcurators/?filter=all&keywords=woke&x=0&y=0#
deleted by creator
Some of these cute curators don’t understand subtext. Labelling the game Unpacking as not woke.
Do you expect them to see anything below surface level in any form of art?
Maybe they should realize that video games are art, and since art is “gay” then they should just stay away from it entirely.
Interesting. TIL:
- There is a slew of anti-woke curators.
- Many of them just list games “Sweet Baby Inc.” was involved in, which is a “DEI consulting firm” apparently.
- There are a few pro-woke curators as well.
- There is an Alex Jones themed video game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2487350/Alex_Jones_NWO_Wars
- One curator considers it woke, apparently: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2487350/Alex_Jones_NWO_Wars/?curator_clanid=44914881
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.
Thank you. I don’t think I can edit my report but I can send a new one with this included.
EDIT: The mobile app makes it incredibly difficult to report anything.
Yeah, I tried to find a way to report at all from mobile web browser and failed.
Currently, this group does not consider a game “Woke” just because a trans person (or any other type of LGBTQ+ person) is a voice actor for a character in that game.
those things don’t make a difference to the game content itself.
- Unfortunately, Steam’s “hate speech” policy limits what we can say when it comes to particular individuals and entities.
All that being said, I still consider this pertinent information
Yeah, on a platform accessible to children these sort of bigoted reviews shouldn’t be available. They spell it out that they are stating people = bad.
I literally can’t find a report button on mobile
It’s right next to the prostate
Is this male version of a g spot joke?
I mean sure. I thought it was funny. 🙂 I was thinking of Deadpool
Lol didn’t remember… just rewatched the foxverse too!
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.
If you have a real solution, I’m open to suggestions.
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.
Their cause being… recommending against buying some games?
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.
Sadly I expect this kinda shit to be normal
- I used to get various death threats because of a trans flag in my profile, it’s been replaced by spam scammers
- When they didn’t take down the Rittenhouse game that stung a bit…
What a pathetic and sad way to spend time in your life. Spreading hate…
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 dunno. I think every list like this ends up helping to normalize hate and bigotry. That said, if I made one of these with a list of Christian games to avoid, it doesn’t mean I hate Christians, it just means that I am looking to avoid games with Christianity in them.
The difference here is that “woke” is a loaded and weaponized term. It’s like having a list of “groomer” games and then filling that list with games featuring LGBT+ characters. It’s based in bigotry.
If you made a list of these that were offensive to Christians would it be bigotry? What about if it was offensive to Muslims? The left? The right?
I’m sorry but we aren’t standing on some mountain top where we can dictate that shit. As long as no one is getting hurt and everyone is an adult who are we to judge? I don’t agree, I find it distasteful sure, but it’s narcissistic if I was to think I can judge.
Let people like and dislike stuff. You’ll only entrench their opinions by restricting them in any case.
The whataboutism is strong with this one. People are getting hurt by this group. Choosing to ignore that is your choice.
who curates the curators?
You do? We all do? We choose to follow some and block others.
it was a play on who watches the watchers, not a serious question
Fair enough. I thought it was both =D
