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.

You reported the page, did Steam respond?

[-] Grimm@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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.

  1. 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.

Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.
