    I think it’s a perfectly valid review. It is stupid and racist, but that’s clearly on the reviewer and not the developer.

    With any rating system you’ll always get someone leaving a negative rating without valid reason. At least with this one, anyone who reads it knows they can ignore it.

      It’s a valid review until some people start saying same thing for Christians and Jews and suddenly the policy will change to “minimize spreading hate”.

      I used to work for a company that made blinds that people could order online and would then have to put up themselves and one person left a negative review because they dropped the set of blinds on their head while trying to install it.

      The owner was delighted because it was such a stupid 1 star review. Anyone reading it would just laugh at the person leaving the review and wouldn’t think negatively of the company.

        Of course the problem is that the review influences the overall score, and people won’t know why the poor review, they’ll just know that the number is impacted.

        Of course, that says, if that is someone’s review, they can just only or make something up to have that impact… only hope is for things to be well under the lizardman’s constant.

          I think steam top and tails the reviews, so if anything is way out of range it doesn’t count towards the score, or at least it’s impact is reduced. It not as simple as an average of the scores.

      The review is mean to say they don’t believe races should be in games they play. It would be like saying you don’t think X race of person should be allowed on TV. We’re trying to get past that as a society, and it’s not going to come about by coddling these racist fucks.

          Are you being pedantic, racist, or both? Asking for a friend.

            Are you stupid? Muslim is not a race. Saying that doesn’t make me a racist. Also I have parents who are Muslim and I don’t consider them a different race then me, a non-believer.

                    Third party here. I do not think it is an unreasonable reading that your “choices” were intended to present both options and that both were meant negatively.

                    Attempting to walk that back is like asking a coworker, “Are you being careless, dishonest, or both?” and then, when they object, responding, “I did not accuse you of dishonesty. I was just asking a question.” That would also reasonably be interpreted as an accusation of both.

                  There you go, that’s ovbiously the takeaway from Libretarians and Muslims have differences and there shouldn’t be hate speech in the forum.
