A Tabletop Simulator review bomb is underway after a trans user was banned from the game's chat. 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.
Why is this Tabletop Simulator review bomb happening?
Over on Twitter, user Xoe details her experiences with Tabletop Simulator. She shows screenshots that show her being banned by one of the game's mods after she declares that she's gay. She then takes to the Tabletop Simulator Discord to discover the reason behind her ban. The mods tell her that Tabletop Simulator chat is not a place to discuss "sexuality, fetishes, politics". 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. After this, she re-enters the chat as a different user, talking about being straight and cis, and isn't banned or even cautioned. 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. You can see Xoe's document with supporting evidence here.
In response to the situation, there's a review bomb underway on the game's Steam page, and frankly, it's a mess. 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". 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).

You can get whiplash trying to follow this one...
Makes as much sense as going into the grocery store, and standing in the middle of the produce section surrounded by lettuce and carrots, and screaming about one's sexual preferences.
Frickin' world's gone nuts, I tell ya.
A gay trans-woman is a man demanding lesbians have sex with him to prove they aren’t trans-phobic.
> You can get whiplash trying to follow this one...
Nah, that's an easy one. It's a guy, who dated women, who decided that he wants to be a woman, but still wants to date women.
I think....
Apparently you don’t play a lot of boardgames. The most popular board game site on the net is ran by militant liberals. They have a section on the site for Gay boardgames and females.
They actively promote the idea that like everything else boardgames are mostly played by straight white males.
They claim that these white males “gate keep” in order to prevent blacks, gays, trans and females from playing board games. Anyone who disputes anything a minority, gay or female post on the site has there comment deleted and might get banned.
If one questions what any of this has to do with board games we are told that we need to be made uncomfortable because it is not fair that we can enjoy a board game.
I deleted my account after I was told that i had to say black lives matter. They also push board games created by minorities and women.
Yes wokness is now infesting board games. One publisher was forced to apologize and gravel for forgiveness after daring to attempt to Kickstart a game which involved a prison. Other board games with themes that involve colonialism are also under attack.
I wish all this was made up but unfortunately it is all true and is getting worse all the time.
They're crazy. The only way for them to believe they're normal is to convince you they're not crazy but normal.
They're relentless and they're forcing themselves into everything.
“I’m trans!”
I’m sorely tempted to call back
“Manual or automatic?!”
“What does a person’s sexual/gender identity have to do with playing tabletop games?”
They developed a simulated board game where you have to try to fit the round peg into the square hole.

HE is not trans. HE is a DNA denier. DNA is settled science.
Because said form of mental disorder compels them to inject their perversions into every aspect of their lives, every breathing moment because "IT'S ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEEE!!!"
Bunch of sickos.... I am glad I don’t know what Tabletop Simulator means.
The game has nothing to do with pervs … it’s a computer game where you can set up board games like chess or presumably Squad Leader or whatever.
Thus the attack … like every other flavor of commie, they make sure The Agenda and The Party are in everything and nothing can be enjoyed outside of The Agenda and The Party.
Alphabet pervs, race baiters, and virus cultists are merely means to that end.
Whooooo Squad Leader! I got the whole set....then finally got sucked into ASL when Multi-man came out with the starter kits.
I have a game going now (which I owe my opponent a turn) using Vassal. It works quite well.
I was involved in a Call of Duty Christian clan. We had several servers and we had one guy to post in chat “I’m 100% real gay” and it became a meme “I’m 100% real Baptist” “I’m 100% real sniper”
One player called another one a “dutchbag” and we had a discussion on whether to kick him for language.
When the Eastern European players start logging on, you get ready for everyone to get accused of being gay. They are really fixated on that.
Not really.
"She" is a dude who is pissed off that actual female lesbians won't have sex with him.
It's a growing issue these days.
Funny, none of these guys are sexually interested in other transwomen, yet they're all screaming, "Transwomen are women!"
