“It was really important to us, especially in the current political climate, to put this in the game.”

Blobun is an indie puzzle game currently making waves on social media thanks to a joke setting that eliminates its lesbian content. The problem? Blobun protagonist Stephanie is gay, so flipping the so-called “lesbian toggle” in the options menu removes her from the game and renders it totally unplayable.

    Just to add to this, I’ve read way too many posts on steam about the “globohomo agenda” (a hate term). There’s groups on steam that try to target “woke” games and this is usually either some sort of lgbt representation or women characters that make the games woke.

      Yeah it’s really bad, hateful anti-LGBT and racist rhetoric is a big problem on Steam. It is a big problem everywhere online, but Valve has done considerably less to moderate it than anyone else has.
