What is with this repeated point about companies having the right to do it? Not a single person in this thread has said that Google should be legally forced to host it so it's completely irrelevant. Companies can do what their prefer but it'd better if big ones like Google were less restrictive in terms of what is allowed on their store fronts cause it'd improve freedom of expression and in general be helpful towards risqué and unconventional art. There's also that this happening is absurd considering what other sort of things are on the Play Store.

Why?  How?  How does playing as an underage female making decisions that directly lead to exploring her sexuality make things better?  Specifically, what makes the world better if google sells tbis game?  What is the world  missing out on with this game?  Please be specific.

And leave that slippery slope crap at the door, the GoP uses that "logic" to turn down every sensible gun law and it is infuriating.  

What are you talking about? All the characters in DDLC are adults. It's a highly regarded game cause of its writing, handling of subject matter like depression and its horror aspects but you're acting like it's some scandalous thing for whatever reason. It's one of the most impactful artful experiences I and a lot of other people have ever had with a video game.

Calling it slippery slope crap doesn't mean anything unless you can explain how the logic in this specific case is wrong. Slippery slope arguments are completely valid in certain situations. DDLC getting banned from a major store front literally shows that this is one of them. When it was just pornographic games getting impacted loads of people dismissed any concerns people had cause of it being smut but it spread and now one of the most popular and beloved visual novels of all time is getting impacted. In general freedom of expression and censorship is an area where the slippery slope argument fits perfectly.
