I still see calls for eliminating minorities in Steam forums, and not very subtle ones at that.

    That's one place normal people know to avoid and is not representative of the whole.

    I haven't used Steam Community Forums for a few years, but when I did, it really depended on the game (and I'm not the type to be playing the games where there those behaviours would become prominent). As someone who mostly plays indie games, I found the odd racist post where it was clear they were trying to find like-minded people and nobody would bite. Also, if I reported something for any reason, they typically took care of it within 24 hours at the most and I never had a case where I reported something get rejected.

    Yeah about the forums...
    The only reason you actually choose to go there is either for fixing a game bug or a mod.
    You don't go there to discuss the game.
    The only other topics there are either horny or toxic.
