You're free to use sites/services that cater to things not offered here that you personally desire, there are plenty of sites for that. They do not have to cater to everything not primarily and solely related to video games.
Also there is no way for Valve to truly be "inclusive while respecting cultural differences" because many cultures are outright hostile to such things and see it as detrimental to their culture & society, so again, being neutral is better and letting people use sites/services for such things is better than being yet-another big company bending the knee for something unrelated to their business model which is to sell video games.
You can put whatever on your profile as is, else there are sites that cater to personal identifiers rather than a desired business & profit.
If they don't care enough to read they're not gonna notice anyway. Valve and many other game companies really don't care or even want to know your gender/sex. Nothing about that infor is important to tgheuir business and thusly isn;'t worth the headache and extra work.
This is the internet. No one who's been on it for more than a yeart takes any presented identity seriously.
The community has never really cared about such things. The irony is the gaming community has been for decades the most inclusive community aroubnd..
Kind of a catch 22.
Valve has a history of supporting diverse communities and fostering inclusive environments within games themselves. Extending this inclusivity to the platform features would be a natural progression, showing support for all users without enforcing any particular viewpoint.
Oh come now:
You are aiming your suggestion at those damn CIS people hence the bait word inclusive, while not having your own inclusive commuity which also includes trans and bi or CIS.
The irony of "we can exclude whom we choose from our own community but you damned CIS have to approve all of us, recognise us, include us".
These should not be offered especially when it has nothing to do with the business, it is not profitable, and you can already put whatever on your profile.
Also no, they just take their cut, they have not directly supported any political/social-political thing especially since I previously noted they allow Developers/Publishers to make or participate in events, it does not equate to endorsement. They know very well that remaining away from politics & social-political politics is the best way to remain profitable. Why should wealthy places keep doing what people ask, why dont the people be the own change they want or utilize other community spaces that literally exist for the niche thing they want?
All that matters is you're a customer, or not a customer. Hence why there's unlimited accounts and limited accounts.
Fill out your profile how you want, you can do that already. Not ever wealthy person or company has to adopt social-political trends.
If someone was confused about what a flag meant, having it as a display option wouldn't change that. It would be the same picture as the artwork but smaller and not customizable.
While it’s true that some users might not read bios or notice showcased artwork, having standardized fields for pronouns and gender flags can make these aspects of identity more immediately visible. This isn't about forcing everyone to pay attention but about providing a tool for those who want their identity to be easily recognized. It’s about making the information accessible without requiring extra effort from others to find it.
You mentioned that Valve and other game companies may not prioritize users' gender or sex because it’s not directly relevant to their business. However, many companies have found that fostering an inclusive environment benefits their business by making their platform more welcoming to a broader audience. Inclusivity can lead to higher user satisfaction, loyalty, and engagement, all of which are beneficial for long-term business success.
While it's true that some parts of the internet can be dismissive of presented identities, it’s also true that online communities are diverse, and many users value and respect personal identity. Implementing these features shows that Steam values and respects its users' identities, setting a positive example for the community.
The gaming community has indeed been inclusive in many ways, providing a space for people from various backgrounds to connect over shared interests. However, there’s always room for improvement. Adding features that support the expression of gender identity and pronouns can enhance this inclusivity further, ensuring that all users feel seen and respected.
now we are going a little off track
inclusive does not mean everybody is invited
hate is to be fought everywhere
irrational hate even more so
kkk is not invited to the party to freely express their hate
and the like
that being said
i do not like being called cis anything
if people have this in their vocab, good for them
leave me out of it, please
my gender is my business
Cisgender individuals are a part of the LGBTQ+ community too, and advocating for their inclusion doesn't diminish the importance of recognizing and supporting transgender, non-binary, and bisexual individuals. In fact, the two goals are complementary—they both aim to create a community where everyone's identity is respected and celebrated.
It's not about "excluding" anyone; it's about recognizing that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their identity. By promoting inclusivity towards all members of the LGBTQ+ community, we can create a stronger, more supportive community for everyone.
Exactly but it is not about the options currently available.
Profile name with pronouns
Info on profile.
An avatar of a flag.
It is about pushing an agenda, the inclusive agenda or rather a selective agenda hence the in-fighting with the LGBTQAI+, the exclusion of trans, bi, CIS within that community.
You wouldn't like that, right? Now keep in mind that making an official list of the allowed genders for Steam is going to cause that to happen to someone. Probably a great deal of someones. There are a billion accounts on Steam. Valve isn't going to add a billion genders to a dropdown menu. Valve isn't going to add every pride flag, or every set of pronouns. Heck, almost every pronoun is locked to the language it's used in and can't be translated.
Oh, but it is otherwise you discrimate and the narrative and agenda of inclusion is no discrimination.
Offering these options on profiles would be entirely voluntary. Users who wish to express their gender identity can do so, while those who prefer not to engage with these features can simply opt out. This approach respects individual preferences while providing additional tools for those who wish to use them.
While it's true that companies often steer clear of overt political or social stances, offering options for gender identity doesn't necessarily equate to endorsing a specific ideology. Instead, it can be seen as a reflection of the platform's commitment to creating a welcoming environment for all users, regardless of their background or identity.
Ultimately, the decision to implement such features should be driven by user demand and feedback. If a significant portion of the user base expresses a desire for these options, it makes sense for the platform to consider implementing them to enhance user satisfaction and retention.
Steam already offers extensive profile customization options, and adding pronouns and gender flags would simply expand on this existing framework. Users are free to fill out their profiles in whatever way they see fit, and providing additional options doesn't restrict this freedom but rather enhances it.
Humor me: what do you think the acronym you posted means?
