Steam doesn't enforce its own rules, so "hate groups" are proliferating there - "decrying feminism" should be a bannable offense, says Wes Fenlon

Two days ago, Wes Fenlon of PC Gamer, known for articles such as "Let's talk about politics in video games" published an article about Steam and the presence of "hate groups" dedicated to glorifying school shootings, anti-feminism and antisemitism.

He then went on to compare terms of service for Xbox Live and PSN, and concluded that Valve and Sony don't use enough censorship with their social features that barely anyone uses anyway.

In the end he says that if you like InfoWars or dislike feminism, or if you have a Pepe (meme co-opted by white supremacists and turned into hate symbol, may I remind you) profile picture, you should at least be banned.
