      Examples given in the article are:

      Historically, Valve’s policy has only banned games that are “illegal or straight-up trolling,” but that has opened the people running Steam to an endless series of subjective value judgements. For years, sporadic reports emerged of developers making anime-style smut getting ghosted by Valve – presumably for the genre’s association with high school settings and underage characters. Similarly, Steam took direct action to pull a cheap, trashy visual novel called Rape Day from the platform in 2019.

      Fuck that article BTW, pretending Steam is in the wrong and the quack would have “saved them some headaches”.

        Yeah, that’s kind of what I figured they meant by “censorship”.

        If Valve doesn’t want to sell you loli visual novels, then that’s their prerogative. Can’t say that I blame them.

          Free speech for the maker of loli porn but not for the platform that has regular porn or lgbtq.

            Lesbian porn and trans porn are the two biggest categories in porn.

            Both of those categories are lgbtq.

            Therefore, lgbtq is the most “regular” porn.

              Just LGBTQ+, I wasn’t talking about LGBTQ+ porn as separate from “regular porn”. I’m saying biggots will censor non-porn LGBTQ+ too. I am separating loli porn from “regular” porn.
