So more than half of the "extremist" symbols are a meme that a tiny fraction of conspiracy theorists think is a dogwhistle for racism.
Who even thinks this is a big deal? This screams boomers being upset about violent video games all over again.
Are you sure they're not just pissy about the DEI Detected community and want to force steam to shut it down?
I had some other thing I was gonna say but you blindsided me there; why the living hell would it be bad for Steam to shut down a community that makes list of games featuring diverse characters so they can boycott them and spread ignorant hate about their developers? Yadayadayadablahblah the first amendment guarantees the right to freedom of speech. But Valve aren't an arm of the federal government, so it truly would be fine for them to nuke these groups. High past time even.
Fuck the ADLs censoring of Palestinians but I gotta ask, what is even the relation here?
Whenever I see a pepe, I assume it's someone who at least doesn't mind being confused for a terrible fucking person.
Where did you go for it to be associated with terrible people? It is one of the most used twitch emojis.
Ah, that bastion of social responsibility. If the only thing I know about someone is that they are on Twitch, I'm probably not motivated to learn a second thing about them. One can say Twitch > 4chan > Stormfront, but it's a pretty shallow gradient.
