In a hot new report, the ADL (Anti-Defamation Legume) finds “millions of examples of extremist and hateful content” on Valve’s gaming marketplace and social platform Steam. After tallying hundreds of thousands of pics of Spicy Pepe’s and Friendship Windmill “copypastas” (they incorrectly use the term to mean ASCII-art) they found Valve’s moderation extremely wanting and recommend various changes to their approach to moderating the platform.
“As ADL has said previously, Valve needs to make significant changes to their approach to platform governance both in terms of policy and practice to address the ways in which hate and extremism have proliferated on the Steam platform.”

One has to admire their work ethic. They had to look at over half a million Pepe pics. Impressive.

“Huh? I dunno… that sounds kinda silly, I guess.”
