Steam Officially Adds LGBTQ+ Tag and Hub Page For Games

[IdisC]

There are games that are centered around that theme. Just like there are games that are centered around horses. There's a tag for horses on steam. There are also tags for capitalism themes, a tag for agriculture games, supernatural themes, dinosaurs stuff. It's like library tags. That's really not that special guys. Don't get your knickers in a twist over a library tag.

IDGAF about LGBTQ++^2, but god dammit it would be fucking useful if steam had a tag to filter out weeb shit, "interactive fiction", and anime titty bullshit all at once.

Just wait until they noticed that now people can filter their games

i'm baffled at how people here are pissed off over a tag on steam, is a tag on a gaming market really pandering to SJWs? It just seems like common sense to me.

Here's the preferences page where you can filter the tag, just FYI.

I don't think people are pissed. I think they're happy they can use it to filter that garbage out.

valve is homophobic and i am living proof of this

Surprised it took them this long, another filter I can add.

This article seems super happy about this development. Surely they're not so new to the internet that they don't think it will be completely useless due to being misused for the memez, like "psychological horror" being attached to every barbie and pajama sam game.

Don't even completely non-woke franchises like GTA have LGBT characters (like Trevor)?

Does it get a gay tag? Does it need one? Or does a game have to be basically utterly pozzed out, like a gay sex simulator, before it counts?

>blah blah glad this tag exists so i can filter out crappy games

talk to me about a tag to "exclude shit games" when a tag exists for all the Unity slide puzzles and russian meme games thanks

Valve keeps removing tags like walking simulator and unity engine.

Apparently it makes Devs have bad Feefees

This is what half the people unironically believe in this thread. Who give a shit if there's a gay tag?

Judging by posts in this thread, Steam will now revoke people's accounts if they don't buy LGBT-themed games, or something. It reminds me of asshurt Russian gopniks complaining about gay vidyagames characters on VK.

I thought they already had this tag. Oh well who cares

First half of thread: Steam is bad drone drone drone

Second half: no you drone drone drone

 

[Tlazolli]

Finally a tag so I can play games with boring bland man hating lesbians and feel empowered as I play.

Funny thing, one of my favorite indie games is Bastard Bonds, whose gay creator loves massively muscular men, and the pixel art reflects that. But it doesn't feel like a game with gay themes. There's no bitching, value judgments or naval gazing, nor are there characters included just to make a point, all of which which seem like vital components of your average LGBTQ+ game.

That's because the developer is a competent one. The less-competent ones have to shout about wokeness because their games are shit as-is. Look at the monstrosities @Jaimas has to suffer through.

filter out anime tag, japanese role playing game, and visual novel, you're welcome.

If you're actually the type to get upset because some moniker isn't a tag for a storefront, you're a pathetic piece of shit who deserves to feel depressed. Oh , there isn't a tag for Muscle Girls? Well shit, I, as a Muscle Girl enthusiast; feel like absolute shit and wish to commit sudoku, brb.

It's true. Plus I just booted up Darkest Dungeon and immediately got sodomized by an eldritch horror, so apparently gay sex is now mandatory too.

There's nothing SJWs loathe more than art because it's universal and it obliterates the petty distinctions they want to use to divide all of humanity against itself with their hatred.
