What? The conversation has been about Valve being criticized for the lack of moderation on their forums for a while now, keep up buddy! You’re saying that it’s a bad thing to push for censorship, I’m saying it’s just as bad to let some fucking Nazi spread hate on their forums.

You’re saying that calling for something to be done on one side (censorship) is manufacturing consent, well so is letting extremists spread their message that something needs to be done about white men oppression.

Where’s that censorship? Show me, please!

“You’ll be under more scrutiny”

Ok, perfect, in the end they can’t actually do shit but reprimand then because it’s a private platform. Hell, have they censored Twitter or 4chan? Nope.

I know, it’s hard to admit that you built your whole argument around a lack of reading comprehension :(

Who said anything about DMs? Make extremists feel unwelcome (contrary to what’s going on on Steam’s forums) and they’ll leave, you don’t need to scan DMs, you just need to delete extremist content instead of leaving it up like is happening now.

You’re the only one who keeps talking about the government here

Of course! Big government needs to save us from our 1st amendment rights. Thanks so much. I don’t think I’d have figured it out without your help.

No one else is, people are denouncing the fact that there’s a lack of moderation on their forums, they’re not asking the government to intervene.

Don’t think you do buddy! Do you think you can sue a shop owner if they throw you out because you’re saying things they don’t like?

If you know so much about the first amendment and it doesn’t apply to Internet forums and platforms, how come you’re not rich from suing Twitter or something?

I’m explaining how the first amendment works to you, that’s all. Freedom of speech doesn’t apply in spaces owned by private corporations, they can limit your speech in any way shape or form they want as long as you’re on their turf.

If you have Nazis in the place they just wait until they see someone expressing opinions that’s bordering on their side of the political fence and they initiate contact to try and comfort them in their thoughts.

Because the current situation is an informal adoption from what I’ve read.

And yes you’re asking for support with a legal question from my point of view. It’s pretty far from a “What field do you work in and do you like it?” kind of question

That’s not the definition of the word public in this context. The sidewalk is public space, a shopping mall is private space, one is managed by the State, the other by a private corporation. Go and do Nazi salutes in a shopping mall and sue them when security throws you out and you’ll understand the difference.

So instead we should let racists, misogynists and lgbtphobes make people believe that something needs to be done to protect white men from oppression?

1st amendment applies to public spaces, not a forum owned by a private company.

If you only check the forums for technical questions then you’ll dodge it, if you look at the non tech sections for certain games (with diversity or ambiguous message like Hell Divers) then it’s something else.

Rule 2 and 5

It’s it anti video games to point out something that is actually happening? Just because you love the company doesn’t mean that any bad news is an attack against the industry. Valve doesn’t want to moderate their forums, it was bound to happen.

No, it’s called don’t tow more than your vehicle is made to handle you moron, but you wouldn’t understand that

“my braking distance triples”

That’s not proper preparation, that’s idiocy.

A 5000lbs trailer would have brakes on it and I bet you don’t even have the plug for it.

Towing capacity in the USA is actuality tested by an independent body, if your car is rated for 1.5k it’s because it’s what it was meant to safely tow, above that you’re putting yourself and other road users in danger.

Do you also say that drunk driving is ok as long as “you make proper preparation”?

No matter the condition, tow ratings in the USA are actually tested and determined independently and it’s completely stupid to go over them on public roads. A 5k lbs trailer would have brakes on any vehicle and OP can’t have the appropriate wiring for that on their Forester. They shouldn’t be praised or encouraged in any way.

Yeah that guy is just a fucking idiot that puts everyone around them in danger.
