Deleted discussions because people crying in 'reports'?

[Beta Ray Shill]

A friend posted the benign material below about BG3's, let's say, 'questionable' choices in their update material.

There's some mild sarcasm, but is that against Steam rules too?

NB: this is not about bans!!!

So don't try to shut it down Steam mods. It's about deletion of benign 'steam discussions' because the poster happened to simply think women in modern games look like men. That's not an insult for a start.

They can look like men if they want.

But people like my friend are also allowed to have an opinion that there's a bit too much of it.

The response my friend got back from Steam is that they essentially caved to user 'reports' to delete the innocuous content. That's right - they caved to 'reports'.

So they're saying you cannot express any opinion, even neutrally, on Steam if you're reported enough times by people who can't form a counter-response, but they can click the report button en-masse.

Pseudo-reddit? Is that where we are now?

The woke of the game is spread so thin over its obese game length that it’s easily missed.

But:

1. Willy pyshics, but pointedly no ‘breast phsyics’ – tell me that’s not catering to a certain audience because straight women do not find pensises ‘erotic’, and most certainly don’t want to see them dangling about – go ask them, because all I’ve ever heard from them is that it’s hideous but it’s ‘who it’s attached to the matters’.
   
2. Totalitarian ‘everyone’s bisexual’ setup, with no option to choose ‘real world’: as in, the place where, no, not everyone is bisexual – they are mostly straight.
   
3. Gay gnomes with unskippable ‘we’re gay, we’re gay – have we told you we’re gay’ literally looping dialogue, in case you missed it.
   
4. Women that look men: I’ll give Aylin a pass because she seems to have been intended to look like a man, but what about the curlish Viconia revision, where a once-feminine face was turned into that of a man’s?

Basically, we’re in a disaster situation at the moment with Western AAA gaming.

Just look at the slew of hybrid protagnists that we now have:

1. Star Wars Outlaws: prot has a male-female face
   
2. New Lara Croft design: has a man’s face
   
3. GTA 6: woman with face of a man
   
4. Wonder Woman in the suicide squad game – Wonder Man, more like
   
5. Mary Jane in the latest spiderman game – man’s face
   
6. Horizon Zero whatever – looks like a teenage lad
   
7. Last of Us – need I say anything: ‘she’ has muscles poppin’ out of her that would make Arnie look timid

Okay, your game complaint has zero to do with Steam itself.

How is that Einstein?

Thread topic: Steam Discussions.

TLDR of post: The right to discuss on Steam that women in AAA games don't look like women.

The other account isn't currently community banned, actually. But, just recently banned from the BG3 forum (again)

This is not the BG3 game hub nor do we need multiple threads about such.

Do note that known individuals that keep posting unrelated material in the BG3 section, their posts are very likely to be removed, until they earn another temporary ban, or a permanent ban from the section. Ban evasion can also result in much harsher action in game hubs, especially if one keeps testing their luck, to which the Dev or Dev-assigned hub moderators usually look for people using alts and the Dev may even assign a permanent game ban on the account that owns the game.

Wonder if they realize the "friend" bit isn't working.

Howya - paying customer here.

You think I'm not allowed to say 'my friends should be allowed to think modern AAA 'women' don't look like women'?

Well, look up customer rights or whatever you need to dude.

Or just stop looking up these Steam Discussion threads about discussions on Steam if you think we shouldn't be allowed to talk about them

Especially if he realizes we can see WHEN his "friend" made the account, whether or not said "friend" owns the game, and when the "friend" began posting.

Hi, also a paying customer here. I'm also aware Devs, again, aren't obligated to host you a platform. Your "friend" doesn't own BG3, so thus, he's not a paying customer right? :)

I'm sure you're an important person on Steam and the fact that every time I post anything - anything - negative about Steam and you reply within seconds is not a sign of anything we should be concerned about.

There's always this simple trick called ignoring what you don't like hearing. 'Turn your back' and all that.

Can you not follow your own advice with the BG3 forums, then?
