I don't understand this. Why not just give a normal priced thing to them? I don't think this is very nice and I don't think its ok. Could have just leave it out as well but wtf.
The original request was petty, so was the response.
I don't blame them for responding petty. Steam has some of the most hostile and bigoted people out there. Something like this is a great way to push back against them while being funny and highlighting the absurdity of their request.
Which it so is, people don't need a straight pride flag or straight pride label, they're just trying to push back against LGBTQ acceptance.
Sadly they do have a straight pride flag.... 🇺🇲
There's a couple actually. The most popular designs usually consist of just black and white horizontal stripes, usually with male and female symbols intertwined. There's one that's black and white, with a rainbow pyramid overlayed on top.
This was a jab at American christofascism
That last one is the Ally flag, though I don't see why Allies should have a flag dedicated to them, if you want to fly a flag in support of us, just use the rainbow or progressive flag. Like why is a special ally flag needed?
