Political direction on this forum.

[SvarogX]

Why does it seem like most commenters here lean politically left-wing and liberal rather than towards conservative or centrist views? Many comments and positions reflect a reliance on mainstream and state media, and tend to align with leftist ideologies that often emphasize authoritarian measures over individual freedom and liberty. Is there a particular reason why a significant number of gamers today identify more with left-wing and liberal perspectives rather than more balanced, logical, and rational political paths like centrism, conservatism, or the right-wing?

[Merci]

this entire thread is just a bunch of paragraphs of nonsense like stuff youd see etched onto hospital wall.

This forum is inundated with right wing, pro-Trump threads. I don't know what you're talking about.

The Left Vs Right Argument
-------------------------------------


It was Mostly Majority Of The People Who Had Comon Sense,
Why The Change In Direction??

The New STEAM Client Deck Sorta Interface,
Kinda Drove Majority Of These Kinds Of People
Out Of STEAM...

They Still Use STEAM, Probably Half Of Them,
But They Just Don't Use STEAM Online,
& There For Have No Reason To Be On
The Forums Anymore, & The Other Half
Went Back To Older Consoles Again...

As I Said Once Before...

True Gamer Society Is A Society,
& These Extremist Hateful People
Are Not Allowed In It, ~_~

True Gaming Goes Where The True Gamer Is,
Not Where STEAM Is...

Gaming On Computers & As Well
On Consoles Are Both Thriving,
It's Just Many People Are Trapped
In This Little Atmosphere Of Believing
That Gaming Only Exists On STEAM,
& Some Even Forget That Some People
Actually Took Their STEAM Offline &
Now Game On STEAM Without Internet, ~_~



Many Of You Say Gaming Is Dying...


I Dunno, I Play Plenty Of Patriotic Gaming,
& I Play Many Of Them Without Bugs,
& I Have Lots Of Fun, & I Enjoy It Without
Any Form Of Hateful Crowd Of People,
& I've Got No Problem Making Friends
In That Atmosphere What So Ever...



The Only Reason You All Feel Like
Gaming Is Dying, Is Because You
Practically Live On STEAM, & You
Play This Sooo Called Fantasy Game
With Reporting People's Accounts
Anyime You Just Don't Like What
They Say, Or Do On These Forums...

Truth Is, Gaming Isn't Dying,
Just That The Extremists Are
Being Left To A Collapsing
Platform All By Themselves
In Their Own Little Collapsing
Bubble Of Repeated Report Abuse,
While The Rest Of The People
Are Having Tonz Of Fun...





The Question Is:

Why Do We Have To Hate Monger At All??
Why Do We Have To Be Divided At All??

Why Can't People Just Be Left Alone??
Most Of All, Why Do Politics Have To
Surround Video Games At All??


People Just Want Good Games,
Their Not Interested In Sxualizing Fantasies,
& Buying Guns To Go Harm People In Reality,
Their Just Interested In Good Games
With Good Stories...

People Seem To Have This Fantasy
That Gaming Is Bad For People,
& Quite Frankly Nobody's Been
Able To Prove It, But Yet They
Refuse To Just Leave Gaming Alone,
Even Though They Never Found
Any Real Proof To The Problem They Seek...

And Above All, Nobody Even Wants
Negative Behavior In Gaming, Either,
So Even Now?? People Are Defending
Themselves In Just Wanting To Be Left Alone,
& They Don't Want To Argue Or Fight Over It...

Which Tells Me That Gaming Also Does
Not Harm Your Mental State At All...

And All This Research Is Just Going Nowhere...
& People Somehow Are Refusing To Believe
This... They Are Refusing To Accept That
These Trouble People Are Harmed By This
So Called Mental Illness Thing, & Not Video Games
& Not Movies... As Crazy & Screwed Up As
That Sounds... It's Just Not True... ~_~

& These People Who Are Here On STEAM,
They Don't Want To Believe In The Facts At
All, & So All They Wanna Do, Is Be Harmful
To Video Games, & They Wanna Ruin Every
Bit Of The Video Games We Play As A Whole,
Simply, Because Their Minds Are Trapped In
Their Own Little Bubble World That They Are
Refusing To Admit Is Something They Have
A Very Big Problem With, & It Seems Like
This Extremism & Hateful World Is All These
People Really Know & Understand In Their
Dystopian Dysfunctional Fantasy World...






The Truth Is:

STEAM Is Losing Many Good People Who Used
To Be Here, & Their Accounts Are Being Stolen
From Them, Just Simply Because A Simple Group
Of People Can't Admit They Have A Problem In
Their Heads That Needs Help...

Sooooo, When It Comes To The Idea That
Oh, Today We Want To Unite People Comes
Up In Discussions...

Many People Are Probably Thinking??

Hmmm... I Lost Tons Of Money & I Was Harassed
By You... You Know What, I'm Not Feeling It Today,
Maybe Today I Don't Want To Unite With You At All,
& Maybe Instead I'd Rather We Stay Separated,
& Stay Divided, Because I Know Who My Friends Are,
& I Know It When People Aren't My Friends,
& It Just Brings Back This Idea That Those Who
Care Are The One's Who Will Matter In The End,
& All The Rest Of The People Just Don't Matter...



Does That Mean, We Should Make Things Worst
For The People Who Wanted Extremism & Hate??

No, It Does Not Mean We Should Make Things Worst,
It Just Means, We Are Of Different Views & Differences,
& Our Views & Differences Need To Stay Separated,
& We Need To Engage Different Groups Of People...

And That Is Exactly What Many Of Us Are Already Doing...

We Are Sticking To People Of Our Own Group / Society,
& We Don't Want To Be United As A Larger Society...


No Amount Of Apologizing, Or Throwing Excuses
Is Gonna Fix This, It's Just Is What It Is...

And People All Need To Just Move On...


People Just Want To Be Left Alone...

& I've Even Heard Extremists Also Just Wanna Be Left Alone...


It Would Be Really Nice, If Everyone
Could Really Just Stick To That,
& Leave The World What It Is...

Leave People Alone, & Just Accept
That They Don't Want To Be Changed,
& That They Don't Want Changes...

Regardless If You Want The World Back,
Or If You Want The World Going Forwards,
People Just Don't Want Changes,
& Don't Want To Change...

All This Hate & Divide, Isn't Doing Anyone Anything, ~_~

But People Who Want Extremism & Hate,
Don't Seem To Grasp That Problem...


Soooo, I Dunno... People Need To Just Stay Divided,
& I Dunno... Instead Of Attacking Each Other,
We Should Be Uniting Each Other, I Guess People
Just Would Rather Play This Report Abuse Game Instead...

It Just Is What It Is...




We've Gotten Abused & Harassed For Like 4 Years Now,
& Not Once Have We Actually Attacked Anyone Back,
Or At Least Not Me Anyhow...

And It Just Makes You Think??

Who Is Really The One With The Mental Problems Here??

My Stance On STEAM Has Never Changed
Since 2020, & It's Been Stayed That Way Since...

The Only Difference Is I Stopped Pretending
To Be A Victim In 2024, Because I'm Not A Victim,
I'm Just Someone, & This Crap Of Arguing,
& Hating, & Trashing People Is Just Stupid,
& I Know We Have Different View Points,
But This Anti-Freedom Stuff Is Just Dum,
& I Have Zero Reasons, & I Don't Need To
Even Remotely Defend My Freedom, Simply
Because I Don't Even Need To Argue If
I'm Free Or Not... I Am Free, Because
I Stand Here, & I Determine, & Make Up
My Own Freedom, I Create It, & Only I Can
Do That For Myself, & Thee Is No One Else Who Can,
& That Is What Makes Me Free, & Not Some Silly Document...

But Of Course Nobody Has To Believe It...
It's Whatever You Want, Do With This
Post & These Words As You Want,
It's What It Is, If You Don't Like What
I've Said, Then Don't, But If You Like
What I've Said, Then Great...

Take What You Want From This,
& Though The Rest Out...

It Won't Bother Me One Bit,
Simply, Because I'm Not Toxically
Driven To Live Here, I Go Other
Places All The Time, & My Mental
State Is Doing Great, & I Am A Lot
More Together Then You Might
Think...

People Don't Know This?

But I'm Practically Doing Like 7 Jobs
Right Now, Both Local Physical Jobs,
& Online Jobs, Sitting & Standing,
Hard Labor, & Light Work, As Well
As Having A Boss, & Being My Own Boss...

& I Still Find Time To Enjoy It,
& Actually Watch TV, & Do Video Games,
& Enjoy Socializing With Others...

I Both Contribute To Economy & Don't...

And At The Same Time As I Do All
This?? I Am Fighting Like 99% Of
The World Over Anti-Freedom,
& War Mongering Of Death,
Just To Defend The Idea That
This Is Dum, & I'm Not Really
In Any Form Of Way Losing
My Own Grasp On Society...

Only People Who Have Issues,
Mental Abuse, & Mental Problems
Lose Grasp On Reality & Society...

I'm Not Fearing The World
Collapsing, I'm Confident
That It Won't Collapse, &
It's Because It Only Collapses
If You Give Up On It, But
I Won't Give Up On It, Cause
I Know Deep Down The Truth...

And I Have Zero Problems
With My Confidence That
I Am Going To Succeed...


And I Can Chuckle & Laugh,
Have Fun, & Enjoy It, Simply
Because It Lightens Up The
Mood, & Loosens Me Up,
& I Got No Care In The World
For All This Bitterness Inside...

-----------------------------------------------

Other People Can Do What They Want...
If Report Abusing People Pleases Them,
Then That Is What They Do...

I Am Not Confined To One Envrionment,
I Am Not Trapped In A Bubble,
& I Can Come & Go As I Please...

Freedom Is Not Defined By People
Telling You That You Are Not Free,
& Freedom Is Not Defined By People
Who Take From You...

True Freedom Is Defined By You
& Your Ability To Present It...

It's The Moment You Actually
Don't Believe You Are Free
The Moment You Feel As If
You Don't Have It That You
Are Actually Not Free...

The False Freedom Also Exists,
Where You Believe Your Free,
But Your Just Influenced &
Manipulated To Believe It,
When It Really Isn't True At All,
& That Is False Freedom...

-------------------------------------------

I Do Not Need To Ask Who Agrees,
Because I Already Know What Kind
Of Posts & Replies I'm Going To Get
From This Kind Of Response, So It
Wouldn't Even Make Any Sense To
Remotely Even Ask The Words At All...

Conservatives are playing video games while Liberals and playing Drama Quest on Off Topic and other forums here on Steam (and elsewhere!)

What a surprise, you discovered that most of the population is actually fairly sane and not crazy hatemongers screaming allover social media.

It's disappointing that instead of engaging in a constructive discussion, you've chosen to dismiss differing political views with a derogatory label. The assertion that anyone not aligning with leftist perspectives is a "crazy hatemonger" is divisive and ignores the legitimate concerns and values held by those across the political spectrum.

Par for the course around these parts. Then they'll complain about unjust reports and bans

Here's a secret to your silly American - left vs right... Most of it doesn't even exist.

People's view points are actually more vertical and three dimensional, others are merely stereotyping to the left or the right. In which most cases, these days anything and everything anti-Trump is considered a "leftist", because Trump has claimed all of what "right" use to be and the real "right" doesn't even exists or could exist anymore without Trump.

Trump will claimed they are doomed but only he can save them. It's very similar tactics to that of a cult leader brainwashing cult members. You have religion and faith, but everything is focused back towards just the cult leader to compare against.

In reality, you would really have authoritarian (top) vs democratic (bottom). Some of those individuals might lean left or right, doesn't matter. Rather some will be strongly against authoritarian (top) and not allow someone to command and demand them around without questioning it's leadership / corruptions. So they lean more democratic (bottom) instead.

Got anymore youtube videos? (oops almost missed that one!)

[Sir Dookface McFerretballs]

Most of the cringe left-wing, pro-big-government stuff is like three "glowies" and their 3+ alternate accounts each.

You know... those guys that type up 8+ paragraph arguments in a post about how all the problems with America are still somehow one Orange-tinted individual's fault with videos and links... Like they are at an office job getting paid to do it.

Most the "right" stuff is pretty decently moderate, and the actual "fringe" right crap is usually just a trolling 14-year-old.

[Vote Quimby]

In WW2 Ukrainians hid Jews from Germans.
Now Germans hide Ukrainians from Jews.
How ironic...

The first two videos are just a faith to cult amusement...

The last video actually explains what I meant by authoritarian and how it's shifted to an illusionary left or right, when it's actually more a top vs bottom.
