However, Xoe says that this is "too little too late", as the mod who equated her identity with "sexuality, fetishes, politics" on Tabletop Simulator's Discord page is still active and nobody has attempted to speak to her about her experience.
Berserk says it's listening to the allegations from the LGBTQ+ community and recognizes that its moderation process "has failed". However, following on from this tweet, Berserk posted a followup in which it declares that it has disabled global chat "as we reassess our moderation process". In a Twitter response to the situation, Berserk says Xoe was "spamming different key words in an attempt to get flagged", and that this was subsequently misinterpreted as a ban over identity. How has Berserk Games responded to Xoe's allegations?įor its part, Berserk Games denies any wrongdoing. However, there's also something of a counter-review bomb underway, with users submitting positive reviews supposedly in support of the mods (although many of the reviews are themselves transphobic and homophobic). Several negative reviews have been submitted showing solidarity with Xoe, with one reviewer saying "bigotry is not welcome" in the gaming industry and another describing developer Berserk Games as "transphobic and homophobic".
In response to the situation, there's a review bomb underway on the game's Steam page, and frankly, it's a mess. Tabletop Simulator is undergoing a review bomb over an ongoing dispute between the game's mods and a trans woman banned from chat. You can see Xoe's document with supporting evidence here. However, upon mentioning an actual sexual fetish, her account is banned instantly, thus suggesting that trans identity is indeed lumped in with sexuality as an umbrella issue by the Tabletop Simulator mods. After this, she re-enters the chat as a different user, talking about being straight and cis, and isn't banned or even cautioned. Xoe then asks if that means the mods view trans identity as a fetish or as political, to which she does not receive a response. The mods tell her that Tabletop Simulator chat is not a place to discuss "sexuality, fetishes, politics". She then takes to the Tabletop Simulator Discord to discover the reason behind her ban. She shows screenshots that show her being banned by one of the game's mods after she declares that she's gay. Over on Twitter, user Xoe details her experiences with Tabletop Simulator. Why is this Tabletop Simulator review bomb happening? The user alleges that the devs banned her because she's a gay and trans woman, and many of the negative reviews point to this as the reason behind their score. A Tabletop Simulator review bomb is underway after a trans user was banned from the game's chat.
