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.

It takes place in a high school.  At least here in the states most high schoolers are under age. Like 75%+ of high schoolers are under age.  I would suspect the issue is the highschool part, not the content.

And slippery slope is nonsense and a weak argument.

Do you have a problem with art depicting high schoolers going through stuff like mental health issues? Cause the reason it got banned from the Play Store is its depiction of "sensitive themes" and DDLC's most acclaimed aspect is its handling of mental health issues and as someone who dealt with major depression issues for a lot of my teen years and was going through a depressive episode when I played it back in 2017 its handling of that is a huge reason why it was so impactful for me. It's a similar situation for a lot of the other people who have played it.

You still haven't explained why it's nonsense and a weak argument in the way I used it. As I said slippery slope arguments are completely valid in certain situations. It's only a fallacy when used poorly for example by implying that doing something will lead to something unrelated and not providing evidence or a logical basis for why that'll happen.
