"An earnest plea to expunge the accolade 'Jester'.🤡"

[MeatKingQc]

Hark! This accolade, titled 'Clown,' bears a history steeped in ignominy, wielded to besmirch those of minority ilk, oft casting shadows of folly and ineptitude upon their character.
By endorsing such a category, Steam doth champion a guise of cyber-ridicule and bullying.
To renounce this 'Clown' honor would proclaim a dedication to nurturing an inclusive realm within the gaming sphere,
where every creator and player finds esteem for their craft, unbound by sexual orientation or race.
An opportunity doth present itself ere Steam to stand as an ally to the LGBTQAI++ cohort, through the annulment of this 'Clown' appellation.

Lets replace it with a snowflake...

It is fine as it is, if you have clown issues visit a circus to overcome your fears.

Okay that is a cute idea. Or a little wrapped candy or a chocolate bar? ^_^

OK Vavlé eyes up because I got them super good ideas. Right so Steam employees, not the plant, not the sentient G-man AI, should create a bunch of nebulous secret tier-2 rules, right, like certain combinations of awards or patterns in gifting or dates or times, that when satisfied yield secret awards with them big points. It would make award fishing more interesting.

At this point in time with how it is given out it is more of a badge of honor than anything else.

If I really worried about what people on the internet thought about me I would need a visit to my friendly neighborhood therapist anyways.

A good reason not to do it, then.

That certainly has not been the trend. I find that a focus on inclusiveness only places greater significance on those aspects and sows greater division because of it.

Yup, and ironically one of the only sensible arguments for removing the jester is to cut down on clown bait threads that seem to be everywhere. Sure there will always be trolls with new releases but steam points kinda just ramp up the incentive to make pointless posts like this one at best or flat out incendiary posts at worst.

No

Why?

[Chika Ogiue]

Must feel bad, huh? Tried farming a clown award, and 9 hours later still didn't get one.
