Wow this push against Valve kind of popped up quickly and suddenly didn't it?

Honestly it's about fucking time. The unmoderated hate speech on their platform has gone on long enough. Many people don't realize just how bad it is but I recently hopped on some servers and I got called "tranny" and "groomer" because people knew me and they knew I "used to be a boy" (not true, I never was a boy, just in-denial). I've also seen people pushing Nazi shit on Steam community discussions and in-game on official servers, it's insanely bad.
