      Frankly I’m shocked people don’t recognize how prevalent it is. So many game releases have discussion forums plagued with “anti-woke” bullshit plastered everywhere. I just write off the forums for any game that features a black or female main character, let alone LGBT representation.

        So… you seriously look at the steam forums as good place for discussion otherwise?

        They’ve almost always been shit, besides the occasional troubleshooting thread.

          No, I don’t. That’s my point, they’re so unmoderated it’s all just bullshit, and the problem is that it frequently and regularly devolves into hateful bullshit. I wish Valve would have a more robust moderation system so the forums could be more useful. However, Valve just pushed the problem to the developers and doesn’t ensure any baseline level of quality between games.

          As much as I do actually like Valve and Steam, this is a big issue and has been forever.
