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.

WHY IS DEI BAD

    Diversity Equity Inclusion. Some businesses have some people to try to make sure their hiring practices aren't discriminatory, and that's referred to as DEI.

    But racists are against all of those things so to them DEI is a bad thing. And as these things go, DEI has become a codeword they use to express anger at anyone non-white having a job or represented in any kind of media. Like most dog whistles they pretend that they're cleverly avoiding being overtly racist but it doesn't fool anyone.

    It's state sponsored racism/sexism.

    We should strive to give everyone the same shot, through universal free education, healthcare, etc.

    Equality begins at birth, not when you're just out of high school.

    Instead we do a shit job at being a functional society and decide after the fact that none of it matters and you gotta get them quotas going.

    As long as DEI, Affirmative Action, Positive Racism w/e you want to call it exists, you will always have people questioning the reason behind a minority person/woman's employment, and their performance will always be scrutinized harder. Are they actually talented, or are they here to fill a quota? That is a valid question no matter what anyone will say.

    Why is this an issue? Should all people enjoy LGBTQ+ content and not have any way to avoid it if they so wish? Also, the curator is not using offensive language, just pointing out which content has pro-LGBTQ+ content.

    A total non issue my dudes. Perhaps there are more important fights out there?

    edit Even the screenshot includes the "Ignore this curator" button. Does it not work for you? Shit like this is why nobody except your own bubble is taking you seriously.

    Steam has a hard limit on like 200 curators to ignore, after which point it will print a vague error about it not working. I know, I hit that limit. That's not a solution.

    Then make a stink about that and they'll fix it. Most likely nobody tested if the system breaks when you have so many curators blocked (because honestly, who would have this many) and it's a simple fix to do.

    ITT: Let's ban and censor anything I don't agree with.

    Thanks for the warning label, Steam. You're doing God's work.
