Seems to be a "sky is falling" incident. Huniepop dev and a bunch of other people and studios are getting emails and orders from Valve to censor even further than they already have or be taken off steam entirely.
https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Nukige#announcements/detail/1644256216388772154
This is fucking huge so I figured it warranted a thread here. Dunno how much you fags care about this, but if you want to contribute, send reports or just spread the word. Use Mangagamer, pirate or whatever alternatives you have here, just make sure you try to avoid using Steam if you can. Other options would be to contact Steam Support, go yell at them or something or just let them know your voice and opinions on the matter calmly if that's your thing, Report western non-anime themed games, preferably AAA or clique-pushed to try and force something out of them for these double standards.

No, really. It's a market, those are products people are willing to spend money on. Imagine a supermarket that gets rid of a row of products because it's owner doesn't like them. Surprise surprise, people go to the market next door. If you ever complained about Steam as a distributing platform, this should be good news. Well, good news on the long run at least. Of course, unfortunately, devs will be caught in a turmoil until they settle somewhere else. But I'd rather root for the next platform being better that Steam than expect it to get better.

the issue is once they ban the games from steam, the censors will move on to the next retailer too. also, the next retailer may not have the clout to put up a fight or even worse see steam's censorship as precedent so they can remove the games from their library as well and just say "well steam did it so don't bully us"

They also deleted the topic on Crunchyroll censoring that Hestia game back in April. OP of the /a/ thread about it back when it happened got banned because the janny on at the time deemed the topic "kuso" and a violation of their rules "0, 2, maybe 6 and 12." See >>21092 .
>I thought they would care about something like this.
My suspicion is that they want the board to exist in a bubble where the real world, especially western industries and what they do, don't matter, given their rule 6 is about the "2D/3D barrier (and thus open to interpreting how one wants it). Beyond that, the topics being mixed /v/ and /a/ related, you'd think there'd be overlap of interests and anger, but I suppose keeping "/v/ermin" from infesting takes precedence, given how much /a/ hates crossboarders, especially those from /v/. It's like they think that everyone should have one board, and only one, that they are allowed to use.
Beyond that though, there could also be sentiment that "if it's something that makes /v/ mad, it's acceptable". I don't know, I don't use /a/ much at all anymore, just saying it wouldn't surprise me.

Don't sweat it anon. /a/ was built on emulating the elitism of Kinomod-era cuckchan /a/, which was fairly strict about post quality and keeping casuals out but only when mods were awake.
The problem is the BO and maidos missed the point of that approach and they're more concerned about maintaining a faux elitism like the cringy tryhards of that time era instead of running a good board. They claim to be great but in the end they have the same kind of low effort image dump threads and fanbase shitflinging you see on post 2013 cuckchan/a/, and the most popular threads are always for shonenshit and other entry level crap like anywhere else you go.
They always say they don't want discussion about industry politics because it's off topic, but they're just burying their heads in the sand and pretending that's some kind of intellectual approach. They'll ignore something like this, but you'll see a lot of them regurgitate FUD for shit like the Olympics meme and other nonsense.

You already accept that some compartmentalization is necessary, your only disagreement is where to set that bar. For you it's at the thread level, for /a/ it's at the board level. /a/'s view of 8ch as a whole is a superboard with a number of superthreads (boards).

Not him, but personally I wouldn't give a single fuck, as long as it isn't completely flooding the thread (think giant walls of red text and image spam).
People have been posting off topic shit for ages with varying successes of derails and rerails that ended up in both higher and lower quality discussions/content.
To use imageboards one has to have some level of thick skin, and throwing a shitfit over a couple of offtopic posts, threads or otherwise has always been the domain of overly sensitive idiots who upon going too far end up creating memes in spite of them (see: bigdawgs for ancient examples or the yuricuck for more modern ones).
Putting it into perspective, right now discussing /a/'s autism is pretty much the exact derail you consider worthy of having meidos bust your balls over. However I see no issue at all, since anyone having anything to contribute to the core topic will just do so and ignore this.
And if a couple of sidetracking posts are enough to kill all other discussion, then its just that the topic had very little interest in it to begin with.
Same shit for threads, really.
No.27763

>It's a matter of definitions.
Yes it is.
>You already accept that some compartmentalization is necessary, your only disagreement is where to set that bar.
But then you got it wrong anyway.
It's not a matter of seeing things differently. It's a matter of definitions, like you started to point out. A thread is a thread, made in a board, it gets to stay if it's relevant to the board's topic. A post is a post, and it gets to stay if it's pertinent to the threads topic.
The current problem with /a/ is that "what gets to stay" is defined in a murky way, and it's pretty blatant that it's just what the mods want. Having heavy moderation wouldn't be a problem if they weren't posing otherwise, blaming people for "having shit taste" and whatnot.
But fuck it. This will be my last venting. There's no point in fostering board divide, it's not like we'll change anything by ranting hard enough.

Sub Operation 0: Keyboard Warrior Training (Prepare)
Target: You
Goal: Learn how to write semi-formal emails and letters.
I know 99.9% of you are smart enough not to start a polite email with "Listen here fucko", but it can feel pressurizing for some.
https://englishlive.ef.com/blog/career-english/write-perfect-professional-email-english-5-steps/
http://www.businessenglishresources.com/learn-english-for-business/teachers-section/skill-based-lessons/writing-polite-emails-indirect-polite/
There's more if you just search for "how to write a polite email/letter."
1. Find out how to contact and who- It means nothing if you can't find how to send your message. If you can only find an email not related to your query (i.e. no general contact email or feedback- just professional or corporate addresses) then use it! Just apologize you couldn't find any other email address to contact them by. Be sure to share email addresses with the thread. Snail mail works.
2. If you know who you're specifically emailing, open with Dear Mr./Mrs./Miss. Surname. If not, Dear Sir or Madame/To Whom It May Concern will suffice.
3. Thank them for taking time to read your email (yes it's fucking cringy but it works).
4. Get straight to the point. "I am writing to inform you…" "I am writing to ask…"- you can also start this with who you are to them. I.e. You've bought their shit in the past and liked it, or you're going to buy their shit soon. "As a long time fan of [franchise]" "I've been looking forward to [game]".
If you make a statement about Steam- link to tweets of devs complaining or even journo websites (assuming they are well written, avoid opinionated language, and simply state sourced facts). Include both the original link and the archive link. That way if the original vanishes you still have proof, and the reader can check the real source first before clicking on this strange website called archive.whatever. Also- you've just saved them research time. Less clicks make them more likely to do shit about it.
5. Close out. "I look forward to hearing from you soon." "Thank you for your time." "I'm looking forward to [next game]". Then finish with "Sincerely" or "Kind Regards" then your full name.
Just imagine you're writing to someone you want shit from- don't swear, don't get mad, don't threaten ("I won't buy your game if" is no good, "I do not feel comfortable supporting Steam, and hope [solution]" or "I really want to play [game] and hope there are plans to [put it on other systems/stores]" would be better. Don't use posh words you don't feel natural using. Use start instead of precede if it feels more natural. People can spot fake pleasantness a mile away and it pisses them off. Be yourself… If your Mom/Dad/Schoolteacher was looking over your shoulder.
Don't forget to proof read! They're and there don't know if they're in the wrong place, and online/email spellcheckers rarely check for grammar as well.

Sub Operation 1: Get Mad! (Inform)
Target: Everyone
Goal: Inform consumers and developers who may be unaware of this.
Find communities based around things that are relevant (porn, games with any form of "sexual" content, and devs who are/will produce a game on Steam)- then tailor the information relevant to them.
For example, a community based around GTA V:
> They're taking down a lot of these games for sexual content- even pretty popular stuff. You don't think this could happen to GTAV right??
Or a community based around Porn VNs:
> GTA does far worse- so how come VNs are the first to get it in the neck?!
Both cause their users to discuss, spread the information, and even take actions themselves- but for different reasons.
In addition, you can also spread info via "tag-jacking". Find the hashtag for a popular game being released on Steam with adult features, and ponder aloud how long it'll stay up with it's sexual content.
> Really looking forward to #GTA6, but I wonder if Steam will take it down due to hating anything sexy now. Are the strip-clubs & hookers gone?!
This can be very powerful around E3.
You don't have to @Steam. Valve is also a privately owned company, so there is no stock-market code to tag either.
Finally, write direct to devs. Say how you've heard Steam is purging all sexy content and (as a big fan of their game) you're concerned what's gonna happen to it. With the porn games you can be more blunt.
> I'm looking forward to GTA6, but I've heard Steam have been purging a lot of adult games. Does this mean GTA6 is going to remove hookers or strippers?
> I'm looking forward to [Hentai VN], but I think Steam won't let you on. Other devs with similar games just got their games culled from Steam.
You should not try to encourage those communities to perform any Sub Operation. People rarely like to sign up for someone else's crusade. Most people are lazy/apathetic, and will only spread info on their own without prompting (which is fine) so don't bother.
Unless they show signs they want to do something. This means more than just one anon saying "lets do something" but actual discussions of what to do. Then you can chime in with the Sub-Ops here. And while obvious, don't link to here you idiot. Just repost and rework the plans in your own words. Make sure you make the missions have as few steps/clicks as possible.

Sub Operation 2: Port Storm (Inform & Demand)
Target: Developers of a game that is ONLY on Steam
Goal: Inform the Developer of the Situation, and request a port onto another system/store
As the above says, you inform a dev who has a game that can only be bought through Steam, and politely ask if there will be a port onto another games console or online store (GoG, etc). Asking for PC physical is a bit much, as it's somehow become expensive and almost a lost fucking art. You can list a specific console if you want, but don't bitch if you hate the company. We need to hammer Steam hard, and any port in a storm will do.
This also works for devs who are working on games that are not out yet- but stated only for Steam.
——————–
Sub Operation 3: Sister Site (Inform & Demand)
Target: Developers of a game that is on Steam AND another system/store
Goal: Inform the Developer of the Situation, and tell them you are going to/have already bought the game on the non-Steam Platform
Note: Never buy a game you are not interested in just for an OP. Play the games you want to play. And don't try bullshit with fake covers printed off the net either.
As the above says, you inform a dev who has a game on Steam and other platforms/stores that you love the game and bought the non-Steam version- and explain why you avoided the Steam version. Maybe mix in other feedback about the game itself.
If the Steam version has exclusive content, you could ask the dev when that content is coming to the other platform, since you don't want to support Steam.
If you own the game- you could even take a picture of it and send it to them. It's weird, but it's proof.
This also works for devs who are working on games that are not out yet- but stated for Steam and others.

Website design & revolutionary guides share one thing: Both suggest if the action is fun and/or requires less effort, more people will do it. Apathy is out enemy- if it becomes work people will stop doing it. The less people that do this, the less effective we become.
The idea of a Daily/Weekly email goal is to focus on one target, and each anon sends one email.
- The glut of emails all on one day make it appear a large group have discovered something that pissed them off, and more could be on their way. This prompts the email recipient to take action to make their inbox thinner.
- An anon sending a single email in 5 mins is a simple task. Ask someone to do 3 or 4 tasks and their mind wanders, it feels like work, and they procrastinate, and eventually all they've done is post, fap, and play- but not sent an email. The former is guaranteed to produce more results than the latter. A clear, single goal per week (or even day) can help make a hundred anons working for 5 mins to have massive impact, as oppose to less than half that number trickling out over a month.
To make life easier for emailing anons, it is highly recommended you keep an up-to-date pastebin of all the games that have been shitcanned/censored, those who have passed by hypocricy, and likely email/posting targets (forum and message board communities, devs of those who have and have not been affected, etc). The less research an anon has to do, the more likely it is he'll send an email today.

>I have just received word from Valve apologizing for the confusion, saying to DISREGARD their previous e-mail about the violation, that they are in the process of re-reviewing the game and will follow up soon.
I think I can translate that as "We'll back off and try again under the radar once the shitstorm calms down". They didn't say they were wrong but it was just a "confusion". Why would they have to re-review the game if it was okay the first time around and the game hasn't changed since? They didn't say they were wrong and that they never had a rule like that either. The people replying thinking they "won" are the exact reactions they're looking for. They want people to back off so they can try again.

Gaben isn't doing much, if anything, at Valve, he's just getting cake baths by Taiwanese twins.
But he is the sole owner and he hasn't, as far as we know, been converted to the cult just yet, so there's always the spectre of him firing every last SJW from Valve and starting anew if they move too openly. And he does wake up occasionally to do a thing or two if the unwashed masses scream loudly enough.

From what I can gather, Steam is basically saying "Whoa, hold on a minute, this was a mistake. We're going to take a look at these games again and get back to you. Nothing is happening as of yet."
It's likely that while the anti-porn group was trumpeting about killing porn games, they sent in a ton of false reports, and some intern freaked out and pressed the panic button.

Another possibility is Steam has some intern or employee that's sympathetic and provided the lobbyists the details needed to imitate organic consumer outrage. If they knew where the threshold was, they could game the system and generate enough flags to give the sympathetic employee the justification to send the emails. Maybe they hoped to sneak it all under the radar during the weekend.

UPDATE: Steam won't be taking down anything after all. They'll stop trying to police users and developers in regards to what they should be allowed to purchase or create and will instead allow any and all games to be on their platform.

They "won't take anything down" despite already having done so. There's nothing guaranteeing protection for loli games either.

They said they will stop removing shit unless it’s outright illegal. It very much depends where you live; Steam already has “not for sale in your area” blocks so I’d expect that would be used.

I don't know who in the steam staff is part of what wrote 1st pic but I have to give props to them. This is a temporary victory and I can definitely see them leaving (or gabe dropping like a rock) and SJWs taking over completely overtime and returning back to complete removal of all anime games.
There really should be more alternatives and competitors coming out for steam after this. The backlash was probably a blip in their radar and they probably could have kept chugging along until "that one guy in office" heard about the bullshit going on and decided to intervene.
