LOL

One look at the off topic subforum should give a clear answer...
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/discussions/forum/12/

(the answer is no, it's not against the rules)

Game hubs may have their own set of rules regarding it... since they're moderated by the game publishers.

Read the policies and find out. Do you see anything mentioning that such is not allowed? There is your answer.

If you're still confused, contact Steam support. Only Steam can give official answers. Members of the community cannot give any answers regarding policies.

Any answers given by the community could be wrong and outdated. Always go to the official polices page and Steam support. Do not ask the community for official answers regarding policies as they are subject to change.

While it may be allowed in the steam hubs, game hubs may have rules against political discussions, so it's best kept in the Off Topic section of the forums.

Always read a game hubs rules if present, they may or may not list it but some game hubs may take swift action on political discussion. Avoid talking politics in Halo & Ark if you want to avoid permanent bans that other users have received in those sections. I would also strongly advise against anything not related to Dead By Daylight in their hub as well (ie no politics).

To be honest, IRLpolitics discussion has no place in a video game forum.

If you want to talk politics, go to Twitter, Facebook, or a forum site dedicated to political discussions.

This isn't accurate since many developers try to shoehorn IRL politics into their games. Many devs are hypocrites who like to constantly promote certain politics in their game and forum and then ban anyone who pushes back under the guise of mentioning politics.
