in the end it's about whatever laws are there on where the company operates

which is what Steam is doing

EP: Please tell the left that

again, conflating drawings and human beings

drawings that sexualize children wouldn't be allowed in my store

get mad at US obscenity laws first, with Valve second

So I can understand why Steam wouldn't want it either

can't blame a company for not wanting to go into a legal gray area for a game that's bound to make them a few hundred dollars

if devs want to make loli porn games, they can create their own distribution method

no they can't

sure, that's not what i'm arguing

they can sell their games directly from their own website

nobody is gonna accept your money for loli porn games

there's a difference between a private platform getting rid of some sort of content and it being illegal

and you tell people to send you money via snail mail?

no payment processor deals with loli porn

and they shouldn't

your only option is japanese sites

and they make steam's %30 share look like chump change

What I'm saying is that Steam should be allowed to say "this type of content is inappropriate for our business"

i agree

I'm not saying the govt should get involved

then we're on the same page

at least on the outcome

not the reasoning

what I meant by being "banned" is banned for sale on Steam by Valve

sorry if my context wasn't clear

google play is banning cleavage and bikinis tho

Steam regulates themselves before the government decides to do it for them

looks like content review policy was written by a devout muslim

defining loli is a hard task by itself too

it would be a drawing of underage girl right

it's actually pretty simple, imagine a jury comprised of soccer moms, if they would define it as child porn you are better staying clear off that shit

One way that a lot of loli artists get around it is that they say that the girl is actually 100+ years old, but has the body of a child

usa law defines it as not protected by free speech

defines what?

is it about appearance, about age in the lore, how do you take art style into account, is it using a mature looking character from the same universe as a reference, would a mature looking body but with a low age in the lore be loli ? so on and so forth

obscenity laws define child porn as not protected speech

its not even obscenity laws

it falls under cp
