Title of the (concerning) thread on their community forum, not voluntary clickbait. Came across the thread thanks to a toot by @Khrys@mamot.fr (French speaking)
The gist of the issue raised by OP is that framework sponsors and promotes projects lead by known toxic and racists people (DHH among them).
I agree with the point made by the OP :
The “big tent” argument works fine if everyone plays by some basic civil rules of understanding. Stuff like code of conducts, moderation, anti-racism, surely those things we agree on? A big tent won’t work if you let in people that want to exterminate the others.
I’m disappointed in framework’s answer so far
isnt steam comments having the same far-right comments, honestly they are infesting every online space, with comment sections, with anti-woke comments, far right comments
whataboutism. just because steam is fucking this up doesn’t mean floss projects should get a free pass. i think it’s even worse if community projects are asleep at the wheel on this, commercial projects like steam at least have an excuse of looking at a loss of sales.
As an avid gamer, it’s ANNOYING AS FUCK.
When a new game is out, I want to know about bugs and performance, not whether or not the writing is ‘woke’, what characters are LGBTQ or how somehow any other aspect of it is related to this culture war. Fuck off with that far right bullshit.
Gaming forums should be about games. Leave politics and other bullshit out of it.
These days I just look at YouTube reviews and skip Steam’s comment section for at least a month after launch.
