Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.
Yeah. The clown award (and similar "derogatory" awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.
The worst part about it is that they usually pretend to be a queer person demanding queer representation in games in the most rude way possible and then people take this shit serious and take it out on actual queer people.
I mean, considering how awful the kind of folks who would do such a thing are, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that's probably the ulterior goal. Getting Steam points is just a bonus on top of helping convince other abusive right winger dipshits that queer people need to be attacked because of the fake queer people they made up.
