What are they referring to here exactly? Multiplayer games? Steam friends' list? I have never at any point ever experienced extremist content on Steam; I use it as a convenient location to buy games. It's a retail shop, not a social media site.

Click on the community tab. There’s forums and shit there. There’s a shit ton of blatant racist shit, including people using highly offensive slurs and ascii art swastikas and stuff. It’s fucking disgusting.

It happens in games that have chat as well, mostly shooter games like CS2 and TF2. Consider yourself lucky if you haven't encountered people like that, they're not hard to miss unfortunately in those games.
