To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks (www.pcgamer.com)

The purpose is, as the other commenter said, to mock the request and to highlight its absurdity.

So ragefarming and disrespectful behavior. The exact opposite to what is good for anyone.

Some people need to be poked fun at so they can get over themselves.

This is literally punching up at ~80% of the population. This isn't bullying. Anybody even marginally emotionally mature would laugh or roll their eyes and move on.

I don't give a fuck about if its bullying or not, it causes unnecessary completely avoidable and useless bad publicly for left people and LGBT as well.

Why do people need to be toxic? It could have just been a funny cosmetic like a Vanilla ice cone on the head or something, but no, it needs to be done in a disruptive and disrespectful way.

Are you saying that you think less of "left people" and LGBT because of this joke?
