Do You Think Steam Has A Left-Wing Bias To It?

[†J†C†]

Now this is a genuine question, it seems like whenever there is a not so left-leaning post, even if it were a civil political discourse, it automatically gets defunct by Steam mods (Such as the recent posts on this forum). Hearing from personal experience do you think this is true and how much to a degree and what can be done to prevent such a bias from occurring again for equal measures of intellectual thought?

This thread about whether this place has a left wing bias turned into an amicable discussion between nationalists about birth rates and social control.

LMAO.

who is nationalists? i am not one of them for sure. you are more nationalist than me even if your nationalism level is 0 i am lower than that.
this thread is about the other thread about White Europeans and immigration, you missed that and you have no idea whats going on. good at calling other people names, keep doing that you are the only good person here. maybe not

another example is you got hundreds of reports against you and you survived ( i didn't reported you but i know how things works here ) so that mod you are complaining about reviewed hundreds of reports about you and decided not to ban you.

For real. If steam had a left-wing bias this dude would have been permabanned. He didn't even get a slap on the wrist. They may as well have changed the rules to say "white supremacy is acceptable around here."

he was polite all the time and never insulted anyone. he is just good at making controversial topics. and escaping bans for some reason. maybe he is just lucky more lucky than others. still Mods have 0 political bias and they are in the middle.

No, i have proof.
last discussion wasn't a discussion it was a fight.
you got banned and 2 of the other side also got banned.
you are back now but the other side members still banned.
you are a new name here and you still get better treatment than those who have been here for years.
the one who got banned said nothing but normal jokes.
the thread OP right winger didn't get banned.
the thread went on for 20 pages about white Europeans hating anyone but themselves.
i can't see any bias at all. 50/50

Also i didn't get banned somehow, i suppose i'm just making too much sense.

this is why your name is not exist in the list of the most insane users of this forum.
i will make another list about the most sane 20 people. doesn't mean they are really sane. in the end they are OT users they always have some percentage of insanity

The supposed "hateful racist" rhetoric that has been labeled on this thread. Think of what you will towards it but personal opinions aside outright labeling it in a negative connotation fashion in order to prevent it from gaining any credibility or avoiding engaging in the argument all together by utilizing cheap smearing tactics against it, is just being plain dishonest and I just don't appreciate this blinding bias coming from some of the Steam users here

yah, you don't get to promote hateful racist rhetoric here.

So sorry.

His post was about how malicious it is to just resort to cheap smear campaigns over any idea you don't like. Thaty such tactics are dishonest and ideas should be embraced or shot down on their own merits. And you respond to it by repeating the exagerated insult he named an example of a dishonest smear campaign. You're only proving his point you know. Hell, in old forum your post would be considered flame or spam.

Steam has right wing bias. Infiltrated by incels and alt reich nazis.

it's always an infiltration if you don't like the person. Video games are a popular form of entertainment, not specific to some ideology.

Yes I don't like nazis. I play games to have fun, not to be preached at by Aryan master race sympathisers.

What about the neo-nazi groups attacking the power grid in the US? Or is that not happening? Fake news? ;)

I'm not american, so I don't really know about that. What I know for sure is that we have little to no "far-right" here in France, except in some cities like Lyon, but that's only a few peoples and they're not really a threat. The ones with real influence, money, manpower and wishes to harm their opponents are clearly leftists (especially antifas) from my point of view.

But, I'll side with you on one point, after the defeat of the western left, we should ensure that the opposite extremism can't gain momemtum either. As there is an Historical tendency to switch from one extremism to another. We need to recreate a balanced society, with little to no extremism, from both sides. Those who tolerate leftist's extremism are as dangerous as those who promote the exact opposite.

I hate them both, but the left are simply out of control and are leading to a regime and should be stopped. They are no longer live and let live, you have to either fall in line with them or be destroyed. And if I can’t be left alone then yeah I’m against you

Pleased to see I'm not the only one to think that. Politicians today are just a bunch of traitors and parasites, who confiscate the power of the average citizen. We need to take away most of their powers, to re-establish the powers of the average citizen instead, who is less corrupted and malevolent than politicians who always abuse their powers. I don't want us to be leaded by a minority of psychopaths anymore, that's enough.

Would you look at that, the person who made this thread chose a comment as the answer that aligns with the views he already had. My suspicions were 100% correct, he wasn't here to ask a "genuine question", he was here to stir up trouble and spread his conspiracy theory.
Read his tiny li'l brain like a book.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. To be fair I gave the mods credit, and said the extent is unknown, it might be a slight bias.

Yeah left and right has little to do with what's coming. That's just one sub-division.

You're always jumping to the aid of every racist in the forum.

Nazis don't get a pass for being "polite."

This thread is filled with apologists for racists and hateful people. Whether it's saying that "we need to bring power back to the people from politicians" (aka give people power to spew hateful rhetoric everywhere) or, talking about "smearing campaigns" (oh no, those poor hateful racist people, how dare you say meanie things about them!).

...Hateful rhetoric deserves zero credibility and it should be deleted as soon as possible.

That's exactly how the right has always been. Everyone must follow our way. The right has always marginalized anyone that is not a WASP. Now they are losing that control. Good.

People who think about left wing/right wing bias and dwell on it like a chunk of the people in this thread are dregs on society.

If you are so caught up in the culture war distraction rather than improving yourself so you don't need to grind your bones to dust at 90 you are doing life wrong.

These feelings are not unique they have been replayed time and time again, just look at news paper comics and similar from 100, 200 years ago.

You are being distracted, its time to work on some life goals and do something with your lives.

And your hateful rhetoric, rhetoric that is nothing but insults against anyone whose ideas you dislike is somehow suddenly free of being deleted? Just who do you think you, who do you think anyone is, to define what ideals, what beliefs, what views of the world are the ones that should be erased. It's nothing shy of self-righteous arrogance cowardly hiding behind dishonest smear campaigns. Like I said, all you and doug are doing is proving the point against you.

Edit: to bring it back to the point. No, valve certainly isnt right-wing but it's not all that focused on left-wing either. At least not the mods here. in some specific forums maybe but that is likely a modding staff issue.
