I reported them for harassment with the following statement:

The purpose of this group is to review bomb any game that has gay representation. Their discussion threads talk about using other platforms to discriminate against LGBTQ+ communities and individuals to circumvent Steam's TOS policies. This type of behavior promotes discrimination, review brigading, and toxicity. It is surprising Steam is tolerating such open homophobia on this platform.

    Gamergate honestly catapulted the whole thing but I'll keep saying it: I vividly remember everyone gettin mad as fuck about LoZ: Wind Waker because it wasn't Ocarina of Time: More tits and gore and I genuinely think the whole thing has its root causes in gaming starting as a hobby for rich people originally

      Even before that kojima got death threats for making raiden-source the protagonist of MGS2

      Fucking gamers have always sucked but it's also getting worse

      I thought the backlash for Wind Waker was because they were expecting the art style that was presented during the GCN tech demo.

        I agree, 90% of what I saw at the time was that the artstyle was too "childish".
