The ADL is an anti-semitic organization for depicting jewish people as inherently supportive of colonialism, apartheid, genocide, etc.
They're completely unreliable and backwards as an accurate gauge of anti-semitism.

“Aims to support Israel” is all I need to hear to shut my ears.
They’re getting big mad that they’re being called out for genocide. Cry harder.
I think one can criticise valve for not doing enough to moderate their platform while also not supporting genocide.
Yeah but this is ~~reddit~~ Lemmy where nuance and discussions are down voted until they reach equilibrium with the lowest common denominator.
Treating statements like false dichotomies is central to that.
Being incapable of separating a topic from a sub discussion that touches on that topic, and applying critical thinking, is a staple of online communities these days.
This would have a lot more weight coming from a human rights organization than from genocide lobbyists.
Sounds like BS.
I’ve been on Steam for years and I’ve never seen it. I’m sure it probably exists in the dark corners if you go searching for it but it’s not openly present like it is on FB and Zitter.
I definitely saw someone named "TripleK" (not a euphemism, it wasn't KKK) playing Secret Hitler on Board Game Simulator. They kept saying a bunch of racist shit. I remember saying "it's called Secret Hitler, not obvious Hitler" lol. I tried reporting their account but don't remember what happened.
That's the only time I can ever specifically remember seeing someone being anti semitic on Steam. (Not saying it doesn't happen more.)
What region are you from and what games do you play? Because playing Counter Strike as a European gets me in contact with a lot of Eastern European players and lord have I seem some shit on those profiles.
You wanna say Russians?
Adl sounds compromised.
Not compromised.
They've been hypocrites for as long as I can remember.
I guess I'm playing different games because I've been on Steam like 14 years and have only seen a handful of issues, all reported and banned.
As a true centrisy, for every "Six Days in Fallujah" I want one "Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque". Fuck the ADL.
Frankly, I doubt that this trend of hatefulness will change. Just going on trending pages on any game community (ex. Workshop, News, and Guides) will subject anyone with the some of the most outrageous and vile BS. Hell, just this week I found people having a discussion on a workshop page on how they want to eliminate minorities. Following by just a day, I seen multiple trolls on the patch notes of games that I follow doing a copypasta of games needing forced lgbtq representation.
I am getting tired of this demeaning content which just subjects minorities to hate. Suggesting that I am a mistake, and people like myself should just kill ourselves. I am tired of this nonesense. The only good thing that came out of this is that I know Steam moderation works, but only passively untill called out.
Your account is self marked as a bot. You may have done this unintentionally. You shouldn't mark yourself as a bot if you're not unless you want people who have selected the "don't show bots" option to not see your content.
I'm pretty sure the stance valve takes is "if it is legal, it will stay up", but please correct me if I'm wrong.
outlaw these hate symbols and maybe we will see change, much like Germany does with nazi symbols. I wonder why they won't do that. hmm....................
