Steam Bans An Adult Visual Novel, Gamers Argue About Underage.....You Know Where This Is Going

Some quotes from the article linked by OP:

From the devs:

Some visual novel fans believe Steam may be purposefully targeting not just adult visual novel titles, but MangaGamer in particular. Games journalist Benny Carrillo claimed Steam pulled yuri (or woman-loving-woman anime) visual novel The Expression: Amrilato by misleadingly claiming the game “sexualizes minors.” While Carrillo acknowledged the game features a censored topless bath scene with a 17-year-old character that could technically meet Steam’s rule against material that “sexualizes minors,” other games with similar or more explicit sexualized depictions of underage characters—such as Gal\Gun* and Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed—have not faced removal from Steam.

At the time, MangaGamer implied the issue was rooted in homophobia against lesbian relationships. “[T]he only conclusion we can draw from the feedback we’ve been provided with is that Valve now considers chaste romance between two women inherently ‘sexual’ and thus inappropriate for all audiences outside an adult context,” MangaGamer public relations director John Pickett said of the situation, according to Carrillo’s article.

Here's the quote from Valve:

After contacting Valve for comment, Valve’s Vice President of Marketing Doug Lombardi said Bokuten was removed after discovering an external patch that activated adult scenes with underage characters. “In our initial content review, we missed content hidden in the game’s depot that features adult content with underage characters,” Lombardi told the Daily Dot. “While not accessible in the game itself without an externally acquired patch, we were distributing that content depot through Steam, therefor[e] the game would not have passed our content review. We’ve notified the developer, and improved our content review process to avoid this in the future.”

So...pretty clear that Valve removed it because users could enable "adult content with underage characters." The devs went on to dispute this fact but didn't deny the underage content, just that users has to download it from outside of Steam....which Valve clearly doesn't care about.

Anyways...enter Reddit to debate the topic!

Here's the full thread

And on to the...erm...debate!

Well 16 in the majority of the world is legal so

People fucking complain if you change the age by 1000 years. They are entirely unwilling to engage with the plain fact that art is art, not reality....

Which is a drawing and not a real person. I think that anyone should be willing to acknowledge their sexual feelings so long as they understand where the line is, and realise what cannot be done in real life.

This user compares an official patch put out by the devs to the potential of a "loli Skyrim mod" that would be created by a third party and argues that Skyrim should receive the same treatement.

Same argument from this user

BUT SKYRIM!!!

(Side note...there seem to be a lot of users who are very knowledgeable about these Skyrim mods, I keep finding more)

These users debate the meaning of the word censorship

How about who gives a shit because they’re made up drawings in a video game?

Is Life Is Strange 2 meant to be fapped to?

You don't find being attracted to a depiction of a minor concerning at all?

(Response: No not really) EDIT: This one got moderated but here's the removeddit for it https://www.removeddit.com/r/Games/comments/i10vid/_/fzudxdq/

There are discussions that the devs should have just stated somewhere in the game that the high schoolers being depicted are actually 18....or wait...19 just to be safe.

18 is still illegal in some places. 19 is the safe place to push the ages to but then they can't be high schoolers. I remember a game with 14-15 year olds that was localized which aged them all up to 20 somethings and said they flunked multiple times or some shit as a throw-away line and then never brought it up again. They could probabaly get away with that too.

There's a ton of other stuff in here too if you poke around. Also a lot of comments the mods removed too quickly for removeddit to catch.

Edit: The mods removed a ton of comments on of the thread so a lot of the stuff is showing up on removeddit now.

Show HN: Nimble Name Suggestion – DeepNamer Update

Hello all,

We all know that finding the right name for the app or domain name is hard and time-consuming, using DeepNamer we bring a hassle-free way to discover available app/domain name.

We just added a new feature to our platform, which is called Nimble Names Suggestion. Using this feature we suggest related next-generation TLDs to the users based on their input keywords.

For example, if the input is "video", our platform suggests names in the following TLDs: .video, .image, .media, .studio, and .tube

(In DeepNamer.com, when you typing in the search box, you can see "Nimble TLDs", you need to click to get only those names.

I would like to invite you to see our Nimble Name feature and share your feedback with us.

Thanks

Ask HN: I started a SaaS – now what?

I started SaaS that is generating revenue. It is all bootstrapped and I feel at my limit for managing a company that needs to grow and can flourish.

Looking for advice on how to bring on the right team and partners to help grow the company with the right trajectory.

I am also interested in learning about talking with investors or developing best business practices.

I've never had a SaaS before. I've managed a business before and currently do so but at most I've had two employees.

Show HN: Location-based messenger app Discreet

Hi, my name is Gregory.

This has been an app that I've been working for a very long time. it's a location-based messenger app. I thought something like this should have been made a long time ago so I made it.

The app is actually pretty simple and I thought it would be a great way to share with anyone you know information about places you are at or where you would like to go. You can even ask where someone is.

Thanks. Feel free to post anything or ask any questions.

I even made a landing page for it.

My 8 year old cousin accused me of spying on her while she showered

My(17m) family is having a reunion at our house and my cousin(8f) often lies to get people in trouble.

Yesterday I had to use the bathroom and accidentally walked in on my cousin in the shower. I apologized and left but when she got out she told everyone that I was spying on her. Several of my family members believed her while others knew that she was lying. Since they were staying at our house for a week I have to spend the rest of the time in my room not leaving unless I had to use the bathroom.

It’s Aggravating to have almost half of my family think I’m a creep and get punished for it. What should I do

Edit:I didn’t hear the shower running because my hearing aids had died and I didn’t have anymore batteries
