    No this is the exact exception from it “there are reviews which have stuff about the developer in it we should not allow it”

    “Do you think the same when a developer is a fascist”

    This is literally not whataboutism. The comments they want to have removed are not hateful. Because the hateful ones where removed. “The developer made fun of the death of Charlie Kirk” is not a hateful comment just a fact. Just because that fact does not matter to you or me does not make it less of a fact. “This developer is a fascist” is more hateful then the stated review above.

    To be even more strict you yourself have indirectly commented on this being political

    it makes very specific examples (with links) to specific games that have received negative reviews for things unrelated to the game at hand, such as antisemitism and political

    So it is not whataboutism to point to other political things where steam reviews are also political and ask about them. The correct answer from you to stay in line with your argument would have to be also these, but you don’t want to do that.

      Ok.
