But that is a tricky thing to judge.Where do you cross the line between people that are phedophiles, and ones that simply like the cute girl asthetic, without having any sexual connotation to it?(The same reasoning would apply to games and animes)

As long as there is no explicit sexual imagery or heavy suggestions of pedophily on the game, I say its fair game.Otherwise its just Valve censoring what is essentially, in my view, different takes on a subject due to different cultures.

But one thing I will agree with you is that this is Valve service.If they dont want it because they dont like it, then its their right to remove it.

Well, given that there are many games still on Steam with "cute girl aesthetic" I think we aren't talking about that. This is a game about a 4th grade teacher who, in the summary, sets up cameras in bathrooms to prey on his 4th grade class. But no, that's just "cute girl aesthetic"

The teacher is clearly the villain, as stated in the description.

I really have no idea if this game is psychologically good or bad ... and neither does anyone else here, regardless of all the absolute and confident judgements. 

"We think this novel’s core audience is pedophiles," is a meaningless non-answer, though. The core audience of Pokemon could be pedophiles, for all we know. Is the game sexually exploitative of children or not? That's the answer that matters.

One thing I'm sure of, though, is that Steam is way too powerful. They have far too much control over PC gaming and that needs to end. Valve can be crappy at times and there are too many people who get defensive over them like they're one of the console manufacturers instead of calling them out for it.

 

I agree, people do like PC gaming is gonna die without steam or it was sh*t before valve came, its the complete opposite
