Blobun is an indie puzzle game currently making waves on social media thanks to a joke setting that eliminates its lesbian content. The problem? Blobun protagonist Stephanie is gay, so flipping the so-called “lesbian toggle” in the options menu removes her from the game and renders it totally unplayable.

    Steam has a big problem when it comes to homophobia (and Transphobia) which Valve refuse to moderate, so no I don’t agree whatsoever. Developers can and should make their games and communities as unfriendly to homophobic and transphobic people as possible.

      That’s like saying the internet has big problems with moderation. From my experience, Valve has issues moderating anything on forums. Besides, I insist I don’t see the forum thread screenshot as a proof of hateful content. Buying games tagged with XX and spending time playing them is something that users who hate XX would more likely skip doing.
