Not as bad but still quite terrible are probably the steam forums. There are some systems in there that literally encourage and reward saying the most stupid/offensive shit, and with a very lax moderation it's just a complete mess.
A prominent recent example is Christy Walton paying to promote the No Kings protest.
Though I do think I worded my comment a bit poorly I admit, meant it more in a collaborating with billionaires type of deal as opposed to right-wing conspiracies where protestors are paid by foreigners or some shit
The revolution in question: endless amount of protests that are supported by "progressive bilionaires" like il Duce intended
Kinda wish they didn't have an actual revolution yet, cause at this point all it'd cause is a fuckton of deaths just to put a group like democrats back in power, then for reactionaries to go back into power democratically a couple years later. People there are genuinely blind to their predicament still, thinking the problem is just Trump.
No, the current class society is dominated and shaped by the bourgeois (business owners/capitalists) and not some evil collective gender cabal. It's in the interests of this ruling class to oppress women, given how they can pay them less, have them stay at home raising children for free via unpaid labor who them grow up to being workers to have surplus value extracted from, and therefore exploited in the future. These future workers can be both men and women, and they're getting fisted regardless of one's gender.
Removing this class element from women's struggle and making it solely about one's gender is genuinely harmful, as it makes others blind to the true cause of the oppression.
I mean, even this kind of argument doesn't really work in reality. We already live in "hell on earth", and via electorialism usually two choices are given: the progressive "nothing ever happens" option (so your socdems, democrats, you'll be lucky to get a good policy or two but no real change to the status quo) or "literally hitler" option, maybe some parties that stand in the middle of the spectrum if the country is "advanced" enough.
In other words, via electorialism you can either preserve the hell on earth or make it worse, and the process of voting legitimizes this status quo as it's what "people have decided" rather than who the ruling class cast as candidates, who had the most money and media influence for campaigning.
It's important to see electorialism for what it truly is.
Just become a small business owner and start voting for mussolini or something, not that hard!
Chess “is diverse and inclusive,” the German Chess Federation said
Lol, lmao even. It's one of the more sexist sports there are in terms of organization, often marginalizing women and most of these marginalizing structures are still there to this day. This isn't to excuse anti-LGBT rhetoric, but pretending like everything is fine with chess probably doesn't help.
America's "first concentration camp"? What about the Japanese internment camps during WW2? Guantanamo Bay?
It's literally nothing new for US
That name rings a bell
The first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
no yaoi under DOTP, it's so over
Alt Text: Flowchart depicting the life cycle of social democracy (or "democratic socialism"). SocDems rise to power!

Yeah, pretty sure its the devs of the game that are ultimately responsible for moderating their game forum, making internal employees or trusted players mods and so on. The main issue comes from communities that aren't being moderated, or from the general steam forums.
