How come Steam allows homophobia?
Peace be with you,

I am (which is somewhat controversial) a gay Muslim (duh), and I've created threads on this forum where I ask if there are any fellow gay Muslims that would like to start playing games. This has made plenty of people mighty mad, and I've gotten so much hate ever since I started writing publicly about it. I've reported people (some notorious writers on my profile, for example) and Valve doesn't suspend them and they can keep spreading their homophobia. How come? Does Valve think that homophobia should be allowed on their platform?

Kind regards,
a Gay Muslim.

Pro tip: your sexuality isn't your identity. Have fun being gay! However, your intention to play games specifically with other gays is, quite frankly, a big load of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. What's wrong with playing games with other PEOPLE? Your hobbies don't have to revolve around your sexuality!

Counter point: What's wrong with him wanting to play with other gay people? He is not obligated to play with everyone if he doesn't want to and can choose specific people to play with. Maybe he's just more comfortable playing with other gay people because then he knows he will not be subject to homophobic remarks.

It seems strange to attack him for this rather than speaking out against the fact that people are being rude to him and writing homophobic remarks on his profile.

He's free to play with whomever he wants.

Let me be clear here. I do NOT, in any way, condone hateful remarks against another person based on who they are or what they like. However, he does bring this on himself by using the handle "Gay Muslim". Nobody needs to know your skin color, your sexual orientation, your religion, your politics, your relationship status, or your favorite sports team in order to happily play a game with you. That's stuff you bring up and talk about later to the gamers you're actually becoming friends with, in order to see what more you have in common with each other besides the game you're playing together.

Seems a little like victim blaming. People can write whatever they want as their username, so long as it doesn't violate the Community Guidelines.

It's not victim blaming. It's reality. He can report every hateful comment written on his Profile, and Steam can immediately delete them. But as long as he wants to wear a neon dog whistle on his Profile, he's going to continually attract that kind of attention.

Steam doesn't ALLOW homophobia. What he's wanting them to do is PREVENT it. That's not reality. Yes, he can write what he wants for his name. But he needs to be an adult and understand that there are consequences for using such a controversial name.

Also, go look at the comments on his Profile. He has the power to delete the bad ones, but he doesn't. If they bother him so much, why does he leave them there? And why does he engage with those who write the bad things instead of just ignoring them and deleting the comments? I'll tell you why. Because he wants the attention. He wants to play the victim. He's a Drama Queen, and he's trolling everybody.

How come Steam allows homophobia?
Steam does not allow discrimination and insults.
This also includes redicule or trying to damage someone's reputation / poisoning the well basically.

Those forms of homophobia are not allowed as such;
However people are still allowed to be afraid of gay people (for whatever reason) and the subject can be discussed (as an off topic subject in places that allow it). It doesn't nessecarily mean the people discussing it are showing aggression or violent hatred or discriminate. -- homophobia covers more than just that.

Steam cannot prevent content from appearing, but they can remove it later on and if nessecary punish the author or spreader of said content. In case you wonder what Steam does or does not allow exactly, please read the rules.

Let me ask you, are you sure?
Because in order to spread the fear of gay people, they have to trick people into fearing gay people somehow.
Perhaps you're intepreting it as homophobia spreading?

Discussing your sexuality and others sexuality on Steam is highly off topic.
Each individual game's discussion hub is there for people to discuss the game itself, its themes, bugs and related subjects. It is not a place to discuss your personal sexuality. People may indeed get mad about it and moderators may issue a warning when you post such off topic content there.
This forum hub specifically is supposed to be about the Steam platform, not about you. Although it is fine to make subject threads about you and your sexuality within the Off Topic board-- you're trying to talk about your own situation I assume there.
and people will disagree with your ways or your views. That too is not homophobia- they just see things differently.

I have not read these threads, so perhaps I am wrong, but you should know when you publish something people will disagree with it and some may take it personal for whatever reason. Some people easily become emotional and almost seem to identify with their points, rather than just seeing it as a possibility; there may be some exaggerated reactions coming from those. However, I do not think they mean harm to a population, nor spread fear, at least-- that would be exceptional on Steam is what I think.
Corporations in general allow hate speech so long as it isn't directed at rich white cis male heterosexuals. They will ignore reports of hate speech against people of colour, the LBGTQ+, the unhoused, etc... But you make a single comment calling their hatred out, and suddenly your comment is deleted for hate speech. It doesn't surprise me that Valve is not the exception to this rule.

What you're describing doesn;'t sound like Homophobia.
Your request honestly comes across as a little racist.

Little advice,.. when looking for gamers. Don't specify things like sex, orientation, race, or religion.
If you do you are naturally gonna catch some backlash.

More acceptable qualifiers, are 'Age, Nationality, and Broad geographic region.

The real problemis theat 'hate speech' is so nebuloyus and broad. Threats and hateful slurs, to simply not agreeing or not affirming' is consider hatespeech.
