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"

Buts that just given, as far as I understood, as a context for the overall plot.The teacher is a phedophile(or something along those lines) and the girls, who are the heroines, are trying to stop him.But if Im not mistaken, at no point in the game images of naked children are shown, or anything of the sort.The game seems to be trying to tell a story of abuse inside the school.

Take away the cute girls, the VN style of game, and have more realistic graphics, but with the same story.Would the game still be innapropriate?Thats the issue here.
