I don't get how kids can be unsafe because of other kids being dumbasses. I guarantee the majority of the hate symbolism and speech on Steam's forums, is from people under the age of 18. Kids are fucking little shits. Especially when they have no supervision, like on the Steam forums.

Never heard of kids committing suicide due to being bullied?

Good point.

Teenage nazis when not moderated or taught otherwise will grow up to be adult Nazis, and also have the very real possibility of spreading their hate to others when not moderated. It may seem trivial like something to hand-wave away, but many of these people complaining about woke games will grow up to be hateful republicans like the ones currently trying to take our rights away. It's not a laughing matter.
