Just curious, for those in favor of this, how do you feel if you have small kids who use Steam? What measures do you take to prevent them from accessing such (racist/porn/etc) content? Or, if you don't have any measures, why do you let them access such content?
Steam already has parental controls. Even AAA games have been selling titillating nudity for a while so you'd best already be using it.
And honestly any kid who's started puberty is going to try to watch VR porn videos, which are already easily accessible. So keep an eye on your Vive / Oculus.
I feel great about this. Currently it's very hard to filter out games with gun violence.
If Steam is successful with their plan to "enable you to override our recommendation algorithms and hide games containing the topics you're not interested in" then I look forward to having an easier time finding child-friendly (gun-free) games.
