If the US opposes values Valve has then they should.

I’m not going to pretend Valve cares about these causes though.

I detailed my thoughts and arguments, feel free to address those directly.

if you want to ignore most of the reply to argue against a stance i wasn’t taking there’s not much of a conversation to be had here.

There was the whole thing about payment processors raising a stink because of Steam, which is comparable and I have no evidence Dementia Don simps were not somehow involved, since this was started via some republican christofascist Karen association. But even if that does not suffice it for you, I’m not wondering about to the present situation, I’m wondering about the situation of when (not if) it happens in the future.

Well, I know im against the grain here, but I find this to be very positive news, for Russia. I not a supporter of sexual deviance. Im stating an opinion, not supporting any imagined “hate”. I want to only support love

It seems to be one set of cards, as a part or a deck. Its pretty much a nothing burger.

That was done by Australians and had nothing to do with the US government. Stick to the facts.

Not just against the grain, against the instance rules (bigotry). Like a house guest that comes over and pisses on the floor.

Inb4 the ackshually, homosexuality is a modern concept that’s been around for less than 100 years

Your intolerance is not welcome here.

No, me merely stating my opinion is against no rules. And what you consider bigotry… well thats fine. Im sorry you imagine I pissed on your floor. Maybe your imagination sucks?

Ignorance…

Im “intolerant” of nothing.

I tolerate sexual deviance just dandy

Not supporting and not tolerating are very different

I’d argue imposing your view onto others is not good.

So what you are essentially saying is that you want to persecute LGBT people.

I tolerate sexual deviance just dandy

Clearly not if you think said “sexual deviance” should have its culture shuttered by state force.

Russia issued a lot of legal requirements that don’t make sense. For example they at some point asked more money than we have on the planet, from Google.

Complying with the law on a territory not controlled by sensible human beings should be considered questionable at the very least.

Why are they still in America?

You cant just say I “essentially” said something then totally misinterpret what I said…

Well, I mean you can, but the stupidity continues to pain me physically…

It may please you, but if im victim of much more stupid, I may have an intentional seizure/heart attack… either way, i pray to God to help me through this

There’s no misinterpretation. You openly support the state banning LGBT expression. That’s a form of persecution.

If the government demanded that Christian-themed games be banned, that would be persecution to Christians. This is no different.

Why shouldn’t a Solitaire game be allowed to have LGBT skins or themes?

And besides that, who the fuck cares other than rabid homophobic assholes?

it’s art. the question should be “why not” and the answer is “no reason”.
