that is actually complete bullshit and yes you can and people do it all the time. Do you...not think people get accounts banned for spreading violent hateful language or ideas? It is extremely common to do that.

Yes you can. Steam is a private service with a Terms of Use all users agree too. If you violate the Terms of Use you can totally be banned. Steam is not a Government, nor a public right, it is owned by Valve a private company and they can ban whomever they want.

With that being said, a lot of the time this kind of irony and satire does cloak genuine hatred

I can attest to this. Over the last 3 years or so I’ve dived into various Nerdoms, Warhammer 40k, Realistic shooters (ARMA, Rising Storm), Comic Books, JoJo and MTG most recently. 40k and “real” shooters are full of edgelords, 4channers, and Anti-Semites. Comicbooks has a bunch of fragile man babies afraid of change…

Sadly this is a problem with gaming as a hobby as a whole.

My friend was sexually assaulted at a college party one night, so her boyfriend found the guy's home phone number and called his mother in the middle of dinner to tell him what he had done.

You had never seen a person repent so fast before.

I prefer the 90's designs... man, my old is showing.

I live in Seattle, which is a pretty small big city. The Cafe Racer shooting was a big shock, and I think people here are incredibly grateful to him for having the cohones to stop the shooter, who would surely have wounded or killed more people. I think it's shitty that you guys are going after the people who are…

Meanwhile, Marvel is rumored to be in talks with Katie Sackhoff to bring Captain Marvel to the big screen.

You guys! Just submit what they want. But do it with Hawkeye.
