Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

I reported them for harassment with the following statement:

The purpose of this group is to review bomb any game that has gay representation. Their discussion threads talk about using other platforms to discriminate against LGBTQ+ communities and individuals to circumvent Steam's TOS policies. This type of behavior promotes discrimination, review brigading, and toxicity. It is surprising Steam is tolerating such open homophobia on this platform.

I dunno. I think every list like this ends up helping to normalize hate and bigotry. That said, if I made one of these with a list of Christian games to avoid, it doesn’t mean I hate Christians, it just means that I am looking to avoid games with Christianity in them.

The difference here is that “woke” is a loaded and weaponized term. It’s like having a list of “groomer” games and then filling that list with games featuring LGBT+ characters. It’s based in bigotry.

If you made a list of these that were offensive to Christians would it be bigotry? What about if it was offensive to Muslims? The left? The right?

I'm sorry but we aren't standing on some mountain top where we can dictate that shit. As long as no one is getting hurt and everyone is an adult who are we to judge? I don't agree, I find it distasteful sure, but it's narcissistic if I was to think I can judge.

Let people like and dislike stuff. You'll only entrench their opinions by restricting them in any case.

The whataboutism is strong with this one. People are getting hurt by this group. Choosing to ignore that is your choice.
