I mean yeah, no shit. The steam forums could be removed at no loss to the human race, in fact it’d remove a significant percentage of all really shitty talk on the internet if they deleted everything entirely.
The steam forums are fucking cancer. I was looking for info about a bug I was having with a newly released game. I instead saw an entire thread about how the game is woke and you shouldn’t buy it. The game has an implied lesbian character. Who gives a fuck? The game was pretty good btw.
But like, are there people that read it and get an existential crises? People need to learn to read and let go. There will always be dickheads and trolls.

While I agree with you that some people are too thin skinned to handle some conversation online… Steam forums or YouTube comment sections are really the very worst of the worst.

If all you read is trash tier content on a platform even if you understand it, it still sucks and remain quite infuriating.

Basically, steam forums are mostly trolling so at this point it’s not about the sensitivity of people but rather that these platform are particularly bad.
