Steam allowing curators to promote homophobia.
(lemmy.zip)
I reported them for harassment with the following statement:
The purpose of this group is to review bomb any game that has gay representation. Their discussion threads talk about using other platforms to discriminate against LGBTQ+ communities and individuals to circumvent Steam's TOS policies. This type of behavior promotes discrimination, review brigading, and toxicity. It is surprising Steam is tolerating such open homophobia on this platform.
One of the main taking points of the anti-wokes is that people are shoving politics into every piece of media and that they're being oppressed as a result. Just because many "wokes" are asserting media is inherently political, doesn't make it true.
I disagree. I'm going to broadly define "political" as things involving how people interact with each other. I'd rather call it "social" and further limit political as referring more formal, legal policies, but that does get more muddled.
I already mentioned the original Death Race 2000 as a satire of violence in media, but it seems the remakes and its squeals missed that memo. What's the messages of the Fast and the Furious movies? Tom and Jerry?
Japanese director is a good case study for Political vs non-political messages. Is Utena political? That show is about how teenages are in this in between phase often put an adult importance on childish things. Penguindrum is about how Japanese culture had a conservative as a result of the sarin gas attacks, which is absolutely about policy and politics. Sarazanmai is about the difference between Want vs Need and Love vs Lust, which to me is less politics and more Human Condition issues.
I assert Human Condition isn't inherently political. If you disagree, what's the "politics" of WORLD OF TOMORROW? I just get uncomfortable feelings regarding my mortality. IT'S GREAT!
shakes head sure if you treat that as an axiom I am sure it would completely confuse your understanding of the world.
I've explained my reasoning, but all you can offer is "head shaving text in italicizes" and a downvote. I'm done.
All Art Is Political, you are a damn fool if you think otherwise and you will be manipulated by rightwing people over and over again into doing exactly what they want while you condescend progressives with words from a script you were handed that even you can't quite convince yourself makes sense deep down.
