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.

      If it’s profiling based on a hateful agenda, than it can and should be censored. Not censoring that shit is why every single “free speech absolutist” website becomes overrun with racists.

        Steam Curators curate recommendation lists that users can subscribe to based on what they like / don’t like.

        If I already don’t want to hear anything about LGBT, then I will follow curators like this. It’s not the other way around.

          Weird, whenever I want to play a game, I’m looking for what I like, not what I hate.

          The OP was recommended this list despite not being a member of it because of the way that curator list recommendations work. If these kinds of discriminatory lists are allowed to promulgate, they could create a culture that is undesirable for Steam as a platform and harmful to LGBT creators, which is why Valve can and should censor these kinds of lists.

        hateful agenda

        Who defines what this is? Hopefully not anyone with an agenda themselves…
