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.

    At risk of sounding like a bootlicker, I have to at least give credit to Steam for making an explicit exemption for trans people changing their account login names from our deadnames. Typically there’s no way to change your login name, and it seems like there’s probably some fucked up old spaghetti code to blame. But steam support lets you change it specifically if it is your deadname, and it seems like they go out of their way to accommodate us to do that. From what it sounds like when I talked to steam support, as a software developer my self, it sounds like a convoluted manual process that they go through solely to make trans people’s lives a little better. They even ask us specifically not to widely share that they are willing to do this, presumably so cis people don’t take advantage of it and ruin it for the rest of us. So good for them, honestly.
