Good point.

I'm just quoting Talladega Nights.

I don't get how kids can be unsafe because of other kids being dumbasses. I guarantee the majority of the hate symbolism and speech on Steam's forums, is from people under the age of 18. Kids are fucking little shits. Especially when they have no supervision, like on the Steam forums.

"We invented democracy, existentialism, and the ménage à trois."

"Oh man... Those are three pretty good things."

Well, not really. There was a time when it was Valve staff and volunteer moderators under their direction. But that was before their discussion forums got integrated into Steam directly and there was a bajillion games on it.

Though I am confident they could actually hire people to handle it if they wanted to. Or were forced to. Steam makes a bit of profit, I'm sure.

I'm interested in Norse mythology for stories like the time Thor had to wear a dress to get back his hammer. I bet he looked hot in that dress.

Wasn't it co-opted by racists around 2016 or something? They also took the "OK" finger gesture from the circle game, the fuckers.

Barnacles exist just so Valve can say "haha made you look up."

With a name like that, they'll be back.

Moon Man? Like the old McDonald's commercial? How the fuck is that a hateful or extremist symbol? Because anyone who remembers it must be extreme for burgers?

Afaik, the discussion boards for individual games are not moderated by Valve staff (outside of their own titles and the general discussions not tied to any specific game), but by the developer of the game. And it pretty much is ignored by everyone outside of a few indie devs that either just believe in transparency and use the boards themselves, or because they have huge egos and act like little tyrants being the worst kind of Reddit/Discord mod. The only in-between is the automated systems that work off reports and filters.

This game is epic and I never hear anyone talking about it.
