Steam needs to shut down their forums. It’s clear they have no intention of moderating them and they are so incredibly toxic, hateful, and disgusting that I feel bad about using the platform at all.
Weird how they specifically point out the ADL, a fascist propaganda machine, as an enemy of the right wing extremists on Steam and nobody else. There’s tons actual racism (allowed) on there and even calls for violence (not allowed), but no, attacking the ADL is too far
Steam?
You mean the platform with critically acclaimed titles such as ‘Hitler My Friend’ ‘Heal Hitler’ ‘Hitler is my crush’ ?
I would never have guessed that the platform had a problem with far right communities. Surely the Sniper Elite folks have something to say.
Can’t believe you havent included my all time favourite game - sex with hitler
I’m sorry, you’re absolutely right. A crucial entry missed.
Humble bundle had bundles for Sniper Elite, and Wolfenstein/Doom games. The Nazis don’t seem friendly in those games. Are you telling me they are not the bad guys?
Haven’t played Sniper Elite in a while but I seem to remember being struck by how much they went out of their way to humanize Nazi soldiers.
Doom has Nazis?
Idk about Wolfenstein, but I have spent plenty of time in online gaming spaces.
Doom doesn’t, but it was a wolfenstein and doom packaged together. And you get shot at both groups of nazis. And in sniper elite you can shoot hitlers testicle.
The amount of trump profile pics or racist names I see on steam is depressing
It’s weird I just never see any of this at all. Is it just for certain games? Admittedly I barely ever go into the forums and when I do I’m looking for a specific answers to specific questions, so maybe it’s just people who use Steam for General communication? But I don’t know why anyone would do that so…
Most bigger games are full of reviews from „woke detectors”, followed by trolls spamming rainbows, followed by people with trump pfps inviting into their Nazi communities
Right. This is the whole issue with these studies as the data is skewed. The only people getting into ‘wars’ are single brain cell fuckheads who can’t resist spewing rhetoric on a game store and/or associated forum. Normal users are using the platform as intended.
There is a reason my friends list is limited to people I have Met in real life.
I don’t think it’s new info that there is a substantial percentage of fascists in communities that are predominantly cishet men.
