@Melon no other mainstream marketplace would ever allow this. i think steam's pretty based. there's a lot of shovelware but it's a small price to pay for a platform like steam.

@beardalaxy steam still bans lolicon so as far as I know they're shit. They also banned me pretty quickly for having a naughty words in my username
@Melon @beardalaxy this is what incenses me above all else. Fuckin steam will ban and censor vns even set in highschool settings but will allow filthy furry fetish games ranging from this Nazi stuff to diaper bullshit & western homosexuality vns. It's filth :gura_pain:
@RehnSturm256 @Melon @beardalaxy Western websites are super touchy with lolicon for some reason.

Discord allows for furry, homosexual degeneracy and blackmarket HRT servers, but characters with too flat of a chest crosses the line.

@ehhh @Melon @RehnSturm256 i think it's because it's still kind of in a legally gray area, or at least it is perceived as such. it's also something that is just straight up illegal in a lot of places so rather than having to jump around different region locks and shit a lot of companies prefer to just axe it all.

i honestly really don't mind it too much, there are plenty of places loli and loli games/mods still exist.

@beardalaxy @ehhh @Melon they banned anime games set in highschool, but permitted gay furries set in highschool :hana_disgust2:
They are just anti-jap because those games don't try to groom their audience members the same way western games do.
@ehhh @beardalaxy @Melon that's why I hate them :shake: at least games that are permitted on Steam can have patches from the devs applied off Steam. But then, why tolerate Steam's biases at all? More 'exposure'? Pft, Steam, Twitter, etc hates anime and creators of it, while supporting truly degenerate stuff. :meru_pout:

tl;dr i don't give a fuck, steam is still better than 99% of companies and there are still some "loli" games on there anyway 

@RehnSturm256 @ehhh @Melon there are plenty of games on steam that still have loli stuff or flat/smol girls in them. fuck i played one just a while ago, sweetest monster, which was a fucking insane trip of a VN by the way. SPOILER ALERT but there's some high school aged girl nudity and sex in that. and i also already mentioned princess maker (i think it's 2 that has nudity and some other lewd stuff in it). i'm sure there's more on there, i've seen them around, but i don't have too much of a desire to play a lot of them so i haven't really looked into it much. paying $10+ for a 2 hour game that is really just me clicking through a VN with little to not interactivity isn't really my jam.

also, let's not forget to mention koikatsu party, which takes place exclusively in a high school. you can make pretty smol girls and they have all the classes you can put them in but of course the description in steam says "all girls are 18+" so that's probably their way of getting around it (which i'm sure more games could do if they really wanted to).

steam isn't perfect, obviously it would be fantastic if they allowed loli just straight up no matter what, but you're acting like valve is just like any other buttfuck gaming company while they are still better than even the big japanese ones.

if you really want to play loli games, itch.io still allows them (as evidenced by unteralterbach which has parts that wouldn't even be allowed to be posted on gameliberty) and they're all up on vndb, and you can usually support the creators if you want to moreso than you would be getting them on steam anyway.

i'm not a valve simp or anything, but like come on, they are far from hateable and they aren't ones to really pick sides or do any sort of faux political activism, plus they're still a private company which i can appreciate. they're better than 99% of companies out there.

@beardalaxy @RehnSturm256 @Melon I don't really consider VNs to be games tbh 😅 They're more like books with multiple endings.
@ehhh @beardalaxy @RehnSturm256 @Melon There are VNs that are more or less games, and then there are VNs that are definitely not games.

@beardalaxy @RehnSturm256 @ehhh @Melon

Agreed. I mean hell, there are even a few futa games on Steam, but I really mean few. The most noteworthy one was Futa Dick Dine & Dash, which was memed for like a couple of days on Twitter but quickly died off. I didn’t buy or play it because I was hoping based on the title alone that it was gonna be like those old diner dash flash games that you’d play on your computer from a few decades ago. But naw, its a visual novel. I found this out because the tags and all the screenshots on their page are just the futa’s fucking.

Seriously tho, bring that diner dash genre back that was my shit back in the day in school. I’d definitely pay a few bucks for a game like that that was fleshed out.
