lol you actually believe that explanation?
Do I believe that a studio that has existed for a while that makes weird games made a weird games and not a fetish game for pedophiles? Yes that seems pretty plausible.
If you need to use child sexual material to make a point, find another way, which they clearly did after getting slapped. 1% or 100% makes no difference, and we know the whole game isn’t fetish for pedos, it was one scene. But they also had to adjust the other characters ages, so the rest wouldn’t get caught up in the same thing after getting caught once.
LOL weren't you supposed to block me?
Just labeled, if you decided to read my comments instead of just espousing about a different build of the game isn’t pedo sexualism.
The prebuild of the game had that content, if you’re JUST viewing what’s in the game now, you’re willing ignorant of context. Yes they changed it, does that mean they should be allowed to re-submit the game after fixing the issues? Well that depends on how you address them. Which they did by being shady, and saying valve didn’t tell them. There’s plenty of sources saying that it was the pedo parts.
Being able to release the fixed game is its own issue, which can only be addressed with the context of the early build THAT HAD THE OFFENDING CONTENT.
And now you edit the post saying you blocked me hahaha
This is rich since you're the one willfully ignoring context.
The content they described was not sexual content. The entire point of the game is to be unnerving by having a set up where you are transparently treating humans the same way and as if they were horses. You can screech all day that it's a "fetish farm", but that really says more about you than it does about the game.
We don't even know what the offending content was. Steam hasn't publicly said and the scenario we're discussing (where a girl and parent treated a horse man exactly like a horse would be treated in real life, which is NOT sexual no matter how much you want it to be) is the supposed best guess of the developer.
That’s the build that you’re playing…. Not the one that had the offended content. I already explained this..
Absolutely false. This is the playing dumb part.
Stop defending pedo material.
And we're back to rolling my eyes
Yeah that tracks, I guess if you’re a child yourself it’s not pedo material… but that doesn’t change the moral of the story.
You don’t ever have a need to use child sexual material to make a point. This is the part you’ve never addressed, and why yours defending pedo by not addressing it. You are saying it’s okay, it never is, and there’s no justification. Which you’re doing here, very badly I might add.
You keep repeating that you know what was in the build that was rejected and that it was definitely sexual and involving a child. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Valve hasn't said publicly what the content was and we have no way of knowing.
The scene that we do know about from the speculation from the developer, at least as described, was not sexual in nature.
I'm not defending child sexual material. I'm saying that what was described was not child sexual material. It obviously isn't unless you're some weirdo Puritan on a crusade.
Anyway, this is my last reply to you. I can't make this any more clear and you're obviously more interested in a witch hunt than the truth anyway.
But it is. It’s not puritan to not want children in a sexualized or naked setting. The horror or creep aspect doesn’t matter. It’s just not an acceptable narrative. And it’s fucking creepy as shit seeing you defend it so vehemently.
Says the one ignoring facts and saying “we don’t know” and claiming that’s the truth? What truth is “we don’t know”? Fallacies to hide behind, there’s no truth in not knowing. The facts are, they changed their game, which made it acceptable AFTER. So it had to have been offending before. And that was all storefronts, not just valve. So that argument you’re using doesn’t even work.
No, but it's Puritan to take something that isn't and assert that it is.
And like every other puritan you accuse and insult reasonable people who don't want Puritans to misrepresent media and decide what everyone else gets to consume.
You’ve supplied no “truth” or “evidence” to the contrary, so the only defence you’re saying is, “naked kids are okay”. Which it isn’t. That’s the issue being addressed.
Says the one rolling their eyes at someone trying to point out your incorrect assumptions, information and views?
It’s not black and white, just because someone doesn’t accept child sexualism or nudity in media, doesn’t make them a puritan.
In case it hasn’t been made obvious yet, you are not the reasonable person here, a reasonable person doesn’t want naked kiddos in the media lmfao. That’s the nail right there. You started with the insults, so don’t play the high ground. You’re just a horrible person.
Keep defending wanting naked kiddos in media! You keep trying to focus on the term sexual, that’s not the only concern being addressed with.
There was nothing anywhere that said their were naked children in the game.
Yes. They had to clarify that every character is “obviously” over the age of 20.
That’s not a claim that gets made if there was no way to make the mistake.
Are you just willingly ignoring all the facts and details right in front of you to spin this fantasy of yours?
And you are only using the current build, your information isn’t even applicable to the topic.
That’s your defense, when the game was stated to have been banned for… you guessed it! But are going to ignore it.
Do you just lack basic reading comprehension skills? Or do you not know how to critically think for yourself?
You're actually just wrong. The naked person in that scene was the horse/human. Never the not being treated as a horse person.
According to the dev…? Did he provide proof? Nope. Just deflects blame to valve instead. What a dev….
You can’t say the boogeyman doesn’t exist, then use the same for your defence. There was material that broke rules. They changed it to be acceptable.
Literally the one thing you can’t do is child sexual material. Read between the fucking lines lmfao.
Yeah took the wind out of your sails finding out your outrage was based on poor reading comprehension didn't it. No apology for me?
Why would I apologize to a pedo defender who lacks basic reading comprehension skills lmfao. How deluded are you?
Do you even know what the term means? I just blew your defense apart by using your own, and you say I deflated my sails? Fucking lmfao.
If my defense fails, so does yours, because it’s the same as yours you mook.
If it wasn’t sexual material, they would have had no reason to change it…
Your entire defence and reasoning falls flat before it starts. If the material wasn’t offending, they wouldn’t have had to change it. Other stores allowed it AFTER changing… so what did they do to piss valve off? That’s a different discussion though. That I’m not getting into.
And yes, what they described is sexual, I’m sorry to inform you that your societal norms aren’t correct.
