This reminds me of my friend. “I’m so gay I’m not even straight-up gay. I’m gay-up gay.”
Is that uh… Is that a lot?
This is fuckin dumb one way or another but if 10,000 fishbucks is a lot factors in a fair amount.
Did you read the article? It says the other purchasable titles are 75 fish bucks.

It’s not Valve/Steam dictating this. Its a user demanding it and the devs taking the piss.
Congratulations on contributing to othering and discrimination against yourselves and your communities.
If I were straight I’d be offended at this, not because I’m a fragile widdle loser, but because it literally implies LGBT people are not normal, and it’s a setback in society’s fight for equality.
I don’t understand this. Why not just give a normal priced thing to them? I don’t think this is very nice and I don’t think its ok. Could have just leave it out as well but wtf.
The original request was petty, so was the response.
I don’t blame them for responding petty. Steam has some of the most hostile and bigoted people out there. Something like this is a great way to push back against them while being funny and highlighting the absurdity of their request.
Which it so is, people don’t need a straight pride flag or straight pride label, they’re just trying to push back against LGBTQ acceptance.Sadly they do have a straight pride flag… 🇺🇲
There’s a couple actually. The most popular designs usually consist of just black and white horizontal stripes, usually with male and female symbols intertwined. There’s one that’s black and white, with a rainbow pyramid overlayed on top.
That last one is the Ally flag, though I don’t see why Allies should have a flag dedicated to them, if you want to fly a flag in support of us, just use the rainbow or progressive flag. Like why is a special ally flag needed?
This was a jab at American christofascism
And? When your players want a cosmetic item just give it to them. Its not petty to want a cosmetic item.
Then I guess it’s not petty to give it to them, which they did.
Let me just go and get my badges that say “default config” and “normal” from the drawer here somewhere. Then I’ll explain it to you while wearing them.
I mean, shure do that why shouldn’t you be allowed to do that? Thats the point.
The dev put the title in the game. nobody said it wasn’t allowed. I say its really weird to request it, and clearly the dev thought it was a dumb request given the price difference in game, but it was put in anyway.
They’re being petty, yes. I think it’s funny though, lol
I don’t think its funny, it just makes the people mad and that for no reason at all.
it serves the purpose to mock the request and make people think about the absurdity
in the same way that a request for a “white history month” should also be mocked - it’s just straight up trivialising the whole concept
It serves no purpose and is just ragefarming.
The purpose is, as the other commenter said, to mock the request and to highlight its absurdity.
So ragefarming and disrespectful behavior. The exact opposite to what is good for anyone.
Some people need to be poked fun at so they can get over themselves.
This is literally punching up at ~80% of the population. This isn’t bullying. Anybody even marginally emotionally mature would laugh or roll their eyes and move on.
it sounds like you don’t understand protest
Its not Protest to cause hate on yourself and people you asociate with.
Egalitarian respect was never the point.
Being petty is the point.
You can decide if you respect that behavior or not. Personally I’ll be refunding this title.
