      Yes it was a choice. It was not a choice based on people sexuality. You can dislike it, you can move to other platforms, you can pirate. But it wasn’t transphobic. They do not care about people’s sex organs

        If you understand drag’s point that transphobia isn’t about intent, then why are you trying to persuade drag of your opinion by assigning intent?

          The convo has gone way off topic and is better discussed somewhere else.

          Yes transphobia is a thing and needs to be discussed, just not here. drag, you got your point in/across and was rebutted. let it end here, make a thread somewhere and continue if your really want but its gone way past PC gaming and onto other issues.

          im fairly easy on the moderation here as I feel its better for the community (mostly) and very little reports come in so I let everyone do their thing. im not going to remove comments or ban you, but please let it die here.

          Okay dragon fucker,

          I understand your point, I do not agree with it. Phobia requires a state of mind. Phobia. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/phobia

          Was steam’s actions driven by their fear/hate of transsexuals? Clearly not. Therefore this action is not an act of transphobia.

          Words have meaning, the written in the dictionary for a reason, bending them for your political advantage may feel good, but it weakens your entire argument.

          I’ve made it as clear as I can.
