  • Obviously that steam guy was probably coming from a place of bad faith

    The Steam forums actively encourage this kind of bad faith behavior:

    1. when a post gets a new reply it’s moved to the top of the forums. So as long as people are engaging with a post, even if it’s just to make fun of a bigot, it keeps getting pushed back to the top.

    2. Users can “award” posts for various things (helpfull, cool, funny, etc) and users have taken to giving ‘Clown’ awards as a way of making fun of posts. Whenever one of your posts gets an award, you are given Steampoints you can use in the Steam cosmetics store.

    This results in every game having bad faith posts “complaining” about wokeness so that people will make fun of them with Clown awards as a way to farm Steampoints. The developer bringing attention to it just helps them get more.

    Trump separated children from parents and locked them in cages. The majority of these children still haven’t been returned to their parents.
    He tried to illegally ban entire races from entering the country.
    He elected judges to the supreme Court that over turned Roe v Wade, which is resulting in the death of pregnant women who can no longer receive life saving medical care.
    He made Secret Service Agents rent rooms at hotels he owns, funneling money from the government into his own businesses.

    Trump refused the peaceful transfer of power
    Lied that the election was stolen (and has never presented any evidence and his lawyers admitted in court that they have no evidence)
    Encouraged an attempted insurrection
    Idolizes dictators
    Stated he wants to be a dictator Day 1
    Wants people who oppose him to get shot…

    Oh, but some colleges got some funding so I guess that balances it out.
