Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

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.

It’s funny how they can never define “woke” when asked but have no problem labeling any sort of inclusion as woke when they make a list of woke things. To them, woke is just the safe word to say instead of the slurs they want to say.

Anything that isn't a straight white male = woke.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

Even that's woke, according to their definition.

"Straight"—sexuality = woke "White"—race = woke "Male"—gender = woke

I guess games just can't have any characters in them at all anymore, in case one of them has a race or a gender that gets referenced.

Wow. I thought to myself surely they would be using some blatant dog whistle for the removed, but nope, steam is fully letting them rate games negatively by using every slur in the book.

This definitely looks much worse for steam than any of these sad, lifeless homunculi. I reported them and made note about how letting this group continue looks awful for steam and not taking action reads as endorsement.

If I didn't know I wouldn't get a rational response, I'd love to ask them where it makes sense for those "removeds" to be. Especially in fantasy games.

Christ almighty. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt (and struggling tbh), but this is just inexcusably bad

This looks like it's for a different steam curator than the one in op's screenshot. Still probably a tos violation ofc

"Immigration is woke but also native people are woke," and the rest of the list is similarly frothing and delusional. They struggle to finish a sentence without adding a hard R.

Looks like it's time to report bomb.

Its even funnier that they coopted "woke" as a negative term in the first place. Just blatantly telling on themselves.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Yeah it is. I was around when woke first started making its rounds and it was used to describe people who were aware of social injustice against them, mostly black people at the time. I’m not surprised that the word made it into common use, just surprised at the audacity of people using it as a strong negative against equality and inclusion.

About 100 years ago the word was intellectuals.
