Nope, nope nope nope. We're not doing the "fictional minors shouldn't be considered unlawful because they aren't real" bullshit. It's pedophilic regardless of whether it's fictional or not and there's not a word you can say to justify it. Just throw that shitty and deplorable take right into the trash.
There's a clear distinction between tasteful, cinematic sex and "get my dick hard looking at some softcore implicit lolis" sex.
This is literally not true from what we know so far. But let's not let facts get in the way of a good crusade.
That reaching to make me look like a bigot, lmao. Just stop. It's embarrassing.
If you banned everyone who enjoyed porn this site would be a ghost town.
Nah not good. Huniepop for example has been on sale for more that 3 years. It's censored anyways and Valve was totally fine with it. I'm sure it even showed up in the Steam Awards a few times.(edit: actually only once)
Some adults have bodies that look young, and some teenagers have bodies that develop fast and makes them look like adults.
The amount of money you get is so negligible, (funny enough if you die as a result of the police chase you basically lose it all at the hospital as it always takes a percentage of your wallet's amount, up to 5K compared to the what, 150 you got from killing a person?). Violence having more contextualization than objectification is absolutely a valid talking point. We don't have all these articles about God of War's contextualized violence for shits and giggles.
I wouldn't even call the Witcher tasteful, but it sure IS tasteful in comparison to the stuff in the games in question.
That's always what this is, it's why Patreon bans or restricts adult content creators at random. Because they target people who get reported usually for entirely arbitrary reasons.
That's "okay" because we have no idea what Valve's policy actually is here.
That I can understand. Again, I admit my ignorance as I know nothing about these games. But in a general sense it seems like a double standard.
I guess so but it feels like a lot of people in this thread are automatically deeming any character that doesn't fit some weird specifications as a child. Like there's definitely some characters that are clearly designed to look like children. But I've seen people referring to characters that are relatively tall and even have pretty noticeable breasts as children just because of the artstyle or something. I just don't get where the line is drawn.
It's good that you are at least willing to look into it, because the way Valve has conducted this isn't as cut and dry as many in this thread proclaim, it is arbitrary and I can understand why some of the developers are scared shitless about it especially since there's no actual feedback besides "get rid of pornographic images". Plus the lack of any communication has led to some of these Devs being absolutely sure that it's due to their queer content (again, something we cannot know, just as much as we cannot know that they're specifically targeting games that have questionable ages)
Kitchen knives and anime porn are too dangerous for the general public!
