Maybe so, but the values of free speech apply to wrong opinions too. Hit the “unhelpful” button and move on. Their bullshit isn’t worth the time.

Sir, it’s 2026. We haven’t done free speech for a while.

Your problem with me is that I value free speech? An interesting hill to die on.

I don’t have a problem with you at all. I think you’re intelligent and I’m glad you post.

I like discussions and looking at things from different perspectives. I’m glad we interacted, I’m sorry if I was rude. I didn’t intend to be.

Fair enough. I also assumed the worst of your ambiguous wording, this being the internet and all.

I can’t hold that against you, because you’re right. It’s more likely a random commentator is a troll.

So honestly it’s a fair assumption.

All’s well that ends well.

So I should be able to go down to my local GameStop and write the same sorts of things on game boxes and put up signs saying the same things?

That’s speech too.

Just because this is digital, it does not give a pass IMO. These are private spaces still. They are not administered by the public.

Don’t be ridiculous. You’re describing criminal property damage. Of course that’s neither okay, nor the same.

I’m sorry you feel the need to be dramatic about this issue, but Steam have provided adequate tools for the userbase to handle the problem, in my eyes.

Of course that’s criminal.

Make it Post it notes, free standing signs, whatever. I mentioned signs too, for a reason.

I believe you should be allowed to stand in front of your local game store and say dumb things. Vandalism is something else.

Of course, neither is currently allowed, so your opinion and my opinion are irrelevant.
