Valve removes Japanese game from steam because its audience are Pedophiles, according to them

[DetectiveKaito]

While it's true that Valve "has the right" to remove or reject any kind of game because it's their platform, it doesn't mean anything.

Just because you have the right to do something doesn't mean you should do it, nor does it mean that it's the correct thing to do, especially since Valve approved of the game and gave it a page and everything.

While I am a little biased because I like anime and lolis, I do have the ability to differentiate between real and anime/cartoon/2D kids and people, and games should not be blamed for events that happen in real life.

People are responsible for their own actions. Blaming it on games, movies, anime, hentai or doujins that show little girls getting raped, is frankly pathetic.

Lolicon and Pedophilia are the same things on the surface, but one harms actual people and the other does not. And last I checked, people should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they're not hurting anyone.

But I digress. It is obvious that the artist of the game is trying to make the lolis in the game look "appealing" to fans of this character archetype, as they usually do in anime and manga. The angles and shots these characters are shown from are called "fan service," which again, is very common in anime and manga.

And while I haven't played this game for myself, the intention of the game seems innocent compared to a lot of other visual novels.

In the end, I think it is rather fortunate that this happened to the developer since I'm now aware of the game. I just hope they find another platform to release their game on so I can play it.
