Blobun is an indie puzzle game currently making waves on social media thanks to a joke setting that eliminates its lesbian content. The problem? Blobun protagonist Stephanie is gay, so flipping the so-called “lesbian toggle” in the options menu removes her from the game and renders it totally unplayable.
Steam has a big problem when it comes to homophobia (and Transphobia) which Valve refuse to moderate, so no I don’t agree whatsoever. Developers can and should make their games and communities as unfriendly to homophobic and transphobic people as possible.
Just to add to this, I’ve read way too many posts on steam about the “globohomo agenda” (a hate term). There’s groups on steam that try to target “woke” games and this is usually either some sort of lgbt representation or women characters that make the games woke.
Yeah it’s really bad, hateful anti-LGBT and racist rhetoric is a big problem on Steam. It is a big problem everywhere online, but Valve has done considerably less to moderate it than anyone else has.

Just because there isn’t any hate in that post doesn’t mean that Steamcommunity as a whole is okay. Valve absolutely needs to do better, and I would say that’s true for any decent internet forum or platform out there.
