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

Even if this game is aimed at pedophiles, I still don't get why that would be such a big issue.

Good. Fuck that game, fuck people who get off on that shit.

Fuck em all.

Read the full OP to discover this game isn't what you think it is about.

I don't even know what that means but I can assume...I'm just not blind to the obvious. Y'all lack of contextualising and critical thinking is disturbing. If you think pointing the camera up someones skirt isn't enough to scream objectification, then you're either playing dense because your political leanings on censorship or you're in denial.

point a camera to a real person inwards without approval is a crime. And I'm against censoring anything, but that have nothing to do with the point. Also I would appreciate you keeping insults out.

I shall also paraphrase a teacher of mine "the obvious is only obvious to the one that sees it", meaning that you may think something obvious, that isn't really obvious. And the meaning of the initial phrase is that you may be seeing harm and objectification because you are objectifying it.

And why would you do it to a virtual character? -_-



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.

Why would you shoot someone in a game? Are you someone that shoot others in real life?

So are you acknowledging that the devs are objectifying the virtual characters?

Nope, I'm acknowledging that you are seeing it like this. And that unless you think someone that shoot pixels is a murderer then there is no point to be made of objetification.

The people defending the game, and not getting what was shown from the trailer, am I allowed to post a screen of a part of the trailer?.

Because it's not as "family friendly" as some people claim, like who tf positions themselves like in the trailer in their every day lives, in public?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Steam is by far my favourite platform to game on. However there is too much of this trash on Steam, the library needs a major clean out. As for videogames causing issues for real life, its a shame of an excuse to remove games because they believe it affects lives.

Steam is a mess nowadays.. not only should they clean up but they should step up their quality control so games that they feel don't meet their guidelines/policy never make it in the first place. 



andyy

Edgy much...?

What happened to letting people do whatever they want as long as they're not hurting anyone?

It's Valve's website, what they say goes. Pedophilia should not be tolerated in any way. Honestly Valve should have had it to where they track this games purchases and report them to authorities. That being said, depends on how much you want controlled and regulated or not.

Why would Steam do that? Distribution of child porn is a crime, so they'd be turning themselves in.

You sir deserve a cookie.
