>Top Hat Studios’ Cross Love – Episode 1 was banned from Steam because one of Valve’s employees said that it featured the “exploitation” of minors. Top Hat hasn’t received a lot of communication from Valve regarding the ban, which has become common practice from Valve regarding the new censorship policies being applied to select visual novels and anime titles.
>Top Hat decided that instead of trying to play at guesswork of what is and isn’t allowed on Steam, they would be making some drastic changes to the kind of games they would be submitting to Steam in the future, which includes no longer submitting uncensored games to the platform.
>In a message to their fans, Top Hat issued a statement regarding their situation:
<“Thank you to everyone who’s helped us or reached out to us so far regarding the issue with Cross Love, as well as those especially who have supported us on Nutaku or Itchio. While we continue to try and spread awareness and make the best we can out of the situation through those who have reached out to us and the sites we are available on – as well as in talks/process with like JAST and Fakku – the best we can do is wait until we get a definitive response from Valve, which in truth, may be never, as we have inquiries from as far back as a month now – when the game first entered build queue – which haven’t been answered.
<“That said, in the future, we will be re-evaluating our approach to Steam and what games we will be developing and publishing for distribution on the platform. For now, which we know is going to be much to the detriment of Steam consumers, we will not be publishing or developing any further games in “school” settings beyond those we have already nurtured a relationship with (most of which will be announced soon). Whether this will extend to college/university games as well is currently to be decided. For titles we are exclusively publishing ourselves, we will also no longer be posting fully uncensored games on Steam until further notice. Adult patches will still be distributed for free to all consumers, perhaps in the form of (again, free) DLC, as this is something important to us. If Steam/Valve clarifies any of this to us, then these policies may not persist, but for now, these are unfortunately measures we will need to take.
<“Regarding Cross Love, we again thank everyone who has supported the game so far. We’ve heard a lot of positive feedback, and we’re glad people are enjoying the title despite the issues with distribution. However, it’s currently not financially viable for us to continue the series with a major distribution outlet like Steam closed to us. Epic Games not seem like they will be allowing AO content, and as far as we know, neither does Humble or GoG. We are considering the series to Patreon due to the episodic structure, but for the place we’re currently in and with Steam blocked off for now, we don’t have much [of] a choice for this title/series specifically. We hope you will understand, and we’re looking forward to your feedback.”

If you're not okay with having the shit you like being censored, you shouldn't be okay with anything at all being censored, regardless if it can be used against you or not.
Are you defending free speech and freedom or are you merely defending what's yours and what you like? Because the first is a virtuous goal to strive for, the second is just you caring about your own hide and nothing else, which is especially stupid because why would you expect them to stop at the things you don't like?
>>15863747
See this shit? This is the optimisc idea that "as soon as we remove the scapegoats, all problems will be solved" and the only reason some of you faggots are okay with censorship. You know that it's wrong and bad, but hopefully it won't target anything you like. As if having missiles rain down on your town is okay, as long as they miss your house and those you care about.
Once they remove whatever the fuck you deem degenerate, they'll go after any kind of porn. After they remove that, they'll go after any kind of violence. After they remove that, they'll go after any kind of historical accurate videogame so they can tell their own history. After they have done that, they'll remove any sort of freedom or choice and turn every narrative into propaganda. It will never fucking stop until videogames are just another way to narrate the prefered ideology of whoever is in charge.
And you'll go right along with it, because you're dumb enough to believe they'll stop at removing degeneracy, when the fuckwits that push forward this shit are some of the biggest degenerates on the face of the earth.

Face the fact that the only reason you care is because they censored your faggy VNs. If they started with furry shit you wouldn't give half a damn or you would celebrate it (like that one furry VN that did get removed from steam) you annoying hypocrite. You would be happy all the censoring because it accelerates the death of thing you don't like . Call me when they actually censor a game I should give a damn about. Because if it was actually a real game people would actually care and a dev who actually cares about making good games and not virtue-signal wouldnt self-censor..
All that is getting censored is trash and you only care because they attacked your brand of trash. I'm well and happy right now because this is making it harder for things I don't like to spread.

You're either in favor of censorship or you are against it. Any in-between position requires defining an Arbiter that will decide what to ban and what to keep. And good luck coming up with a decent Arbiter, when we can't even come up with a decent form of government to represent it's population.
Being in favor or against the content being censored is an entirely different question with different answers to it. Conflating that with being pro\against censorship or even believing that just because you ban it, it goes away, that's an actual simplistic mentality.

Don't conflate me with the spinless hypocrites that do this shit. Someone can be against censorship without supporting what's being censored.
I don't give a rat's ass about crossdressing, but you're gonna claim otherwise because that's the only way this makes sense in your head. You don't understand the idea of being against the removal of something unless there's self interest involved, but that's your own fucking problem to sort out.
Dragfags want to make a videogame about dressing with frilly skirts and I don't see a single damn reason why they shouldn't be allowed to, considering nobody is forced to buy it and you're not gonna get less cross dressers if it was banned anyway.

I don't view censorship as in a principle sense, I view it as a weapon and I have no problem with said weapon unless it is pointing at me. And if I had the option I wouldn't be against using said weapon against the foe. If it points at me or something of my interest then I will deal with it but as long as it continues to work in my favor I have no problem with it.
But your furry neighbor still has his metaphorical gun, he either didn't care to use it or got shot without noticing. Your job is to merely look out for a guns pointing at you and make sure you yourself have a big enough gun(aka the ability to boycott and generate outrage or any other tactic to fight back of censorship or what interests you). If others get their shit kicked in its their problem, you look after yourself.
3aa3bc No.15864156
>>15864133
>I don't view censorship as in a principle sense, I view it as a weapon
Then you have already lost the argument, as censorship is a matter of principal and not a weapon since it's used for far more than silencing oposition.
You're also foolish enough to be okay with censorship against the right targets, despite the fact that those wielding it currently are not your "allies".
You're no different than Antifa arguing for "no guns for anyone" while ignoring that the cops they hate will be the only ones armed afterwards.
>I have no problem with said weapon unless it is pointing at me.
The reason the Nazis did not use gas weapons during WW2 was not because they had higher moral standards but because they knew very well the second they throw a single grenade that smells funny, it's gonna rain deadly horrors on their side afterwards since they'll justify the Allies using them as well.
Japanese got away with gassing the rest of the chinks because they knew the other side had 0 chances of retaliation with the same kind of weapons and that's why they did it anyway.
So I'll say it again. Those that are censoring shit are not your allies and you have no way to know if this "weapon" is gonna be used against you or not. In fact, it's even more likely to be used against you than against degenerates anyway, considering who backs them.
Are you still okay with this "weapon" being used, just because it's currently aimed at the right target?
>If it points at me or something of my interest then I will deal with it
This what I mean with "unable to grasp long term consequences".
Currently, censorship is still seen as a big no-no. You can easily find support against it and people willing to fight it or provide alternatives.
Why in fuck's name would you be willing to let the status quo change, to give censorship an oportunity to be seen as normal and expected?
You think you can deal with it when it comes after you because you gauging it as it currently is. In the future, it will be more settled in, with more mechanisms that can be used against you and you'll find less support to fight it.
You don't fight censorship when it targets you, you fight it when it shows up to prevent it from gaining ground and taking root.
>your furry neighbor still has his metaphorical gun
He didn't and neither do you, because when it came time to ban guns, he was dumb enough to vote yes because he thinks it will make things safer and you were dumb enough to vote yes because that way your neighbor doesn't get to have a gun either.
>Your job is to merely look out for a guns pointing at you and make sure you yourself have a big enough gun(aka the ability to boycott and generate outrage or any other tactic to fight back of censorship or what interests you).
Except you won''t have that ability. Censorship, if unchecked, escalates and normalizes. Oposition to it does not grow at the same rate at all.
Try to tell a random chinese to fight against censorship in his country, where it's well established and part of the regular life, see how well they can fight against it.
All you're doing is let the true oponent gain in power with every conquest it makes. Every game they manage to ban is a precedent to use in the future. Every topic they can forbid is an argument, everyone that does this becomes an expert. When it comes time for you to defend your shit, it's going to be much worse than it currently is and you never saw it coming because you turned a blind eye while it wasn't targeting you.

Lots of people do care about the censorship. That's why Sony and Valve are forced to make statements. That's why they haven't done this before. Also, lots of leftists love to censor un-feminst, non-leftist games. Like you say, it makes you happy.
>dev who actually cares about making good games and not virtue-signal wouldnt self-censor
What a stupid, dishonest argument. These are small devs that are being targetted. They don't have that many platforms to begin with. They have to make do with the options that are avialable for distribution, especially when the demands for censorship came this late in the development.
>the games are trash
Irrelevant and wrong. The censorship of non-leftist content is a terrible practice, and must not be tolerated, no matter what game they go after. You seem like a cunty idiot, so I take your dislike as an indorsement.

We are not arguing about how things really or currently are, but rather the idea behind it.
Censorship is unnacceptable, period. There might be some argument to be made regarding children, but the solution would be to remove children from the premises, or create an area they are not allowed in, not outright ban whatever is decided unsuitable for them, and that's the furthest one can go in terms of exceptions.
If you can extract meaning from those examples, you're either being dense on purpose or you're one of the usefull idiots that wants safety in exchange for freedom.
Remenber that when they start banning any and all kinds of nazi imagery from everywhere, when they start going after even mods and doxx their creators, that nobody will defend you then because you didn't defend them now. And we're not even that far from such a future since that kind of mods already causes a lot of shit flinging.
>>15864213
You did not refute jackshit of what I said.
If you want a middle ground for censorship, you need someone to decide what goes and what says. Who's gonna have that duty/right and how is he chosen?

>It won't go away but it gives a 100% legal way to fuck over people I don't like.
So you don't actually care about free speech or censorship, all you care about is fucking over those you don't like. Gotcha fam.
There's this funny group of people rampaging across America demanding that nobody has the right to have guns. They don't give one fuck about their own safety, all they want is to legally screw everyone that wants to have guns.
There's also this funny group of people that are promoting more and more laws to benefit women not because they care about society as whole but strictly because they want to fuck over white men.
You're just as morally justified as they are.
>Actually I still have my guns because only the furries were disarmed.
You mean you have an illegal weapon in your possession, which means the furry can call the cops on you and you're gonna suck it from Bubba in jail or give up your gun like a good goy.

Its the same with censorship

Its why centrism doesn't work. Its why when you play by the rules and your opponent breaks the rule you desperately cry about him breaking them when he never care for them in the first place So you sit there and play at a disadvantage instead of breaking the rules yourself to actually fucking win the fucking game.

Animal abuse and everything else you list is what's illegal. Distributing illegal material is also illegal by consequence of that and nothing else.
Videos of kiddy porn or necrophilia aren't censored because "muh public decency" or "muh degeneracy", they are censored because they are illegal to produce in the first place!

It still is. You're trying to mix up the legality behind the content with the legality of it's distribution because you know very well you don't have an argument otherwise.
Whether things are censored or not is a binary issue, you either accept that everything legal is allowed or you're gonna argue for double standards that you can't enforce in the long run.
But if you want to argue regarding the legality of degeneracy, that's an entirely different topic that has nothing to do with censorship or freedom of speech.
>So a country who has banned homosexuality is justified in its censorship of homosexuals.
Why did you said "justified"? You're using trap words like this and you probably don't even notice it yourself.
It's fairly normal for them to make it illegal to ban the distribution of gay shit if being gay is illegal. But is it justified? Depends if you think that gay shit being illegal is justified.

Did I said that? Did anyone say that? Or did you want anyone at all to say that so you can have an argument?

No, they were banned because kiddy porn has a victim when it's made (the kid) while necrophilia is defiling corpses and an health hazard. Degeneracy isn't the ultimate moral standard, there's far worse things to worry about besides how triggered you are.

What's not binary about "You're either in favor of censorship or against it"?
Limiting distribution away from kids is not censorship, the material is still available for adults and therefore it's not censored. Will you please stop mixing concepts together and pretend you're smarter than you actually are?

You're dumb and you can't read.
That guy is not in favor of the videos themselves but rather in favor of their distribution so there's a breadcrumb to find the author and prosecute him.

>Because your logic is that censorship is 100% a-okay if the thing being censored is illegal
I didn't say it's "a-okay", you're blundering this discussion because you're failing to separate several things here. I can understand why something that's illegal wouldn't be distributed, even if I disagree with the reason it's illegal.
I understand why loli isn't distributed in Canada and obviously nobody should try it unless they want jail time, but I wholeheartedly disagree with loli being illegal in the first place.
>You said people only censor such things because they are illegal
>only
I said the primary reason it's not distributed (distributed, not censored) it's because it's illegal, not because it's the only reason. On the very same sentence you already mixed up the concept of something being illegal with being censored as well as "primary reason" with "only reason", in this desperate attempt at putting words in someone else's mouth to have a point you can finally refute.
Stop doing this, it just makes you look even dumber than what you already are.
>Anyone have that video of mentally unwell halfchan R9Kers being manipulated and blackmailed into dressing in girls clothes?
You just keep on doing it! What's wrong in that case is someone being manipulated and blackmailed, not the cross dressing. If someone started to cross dress out of his own volition, what would be the harm in that? It's pretty fucking gay, but then so is having an infatuation with the state of Ohio or tiles, so fucking what?
>But if it was made illegal you would support its censorship.
I gotta hand it to you, I've never seen someone do this shit so well, must be a natural talent somehow. Must be all that /pol/ education where every word loses all the value it ever had to mean one thing and exactly one thing only.
What do you mean "support"? Accept and praise that it's finally being censored? Obviously not. If it was a truly hideous act, I'd support it being illegal, not censored. Censorship is irrelevant since if it's illegal, it doesn't need to be censored, and if it's not illegal, it's not okay to censor it anyway.
I do not need to "support" censorship when it's something illegal because that's not censorship, that's something being illegal.
And at that point, I'd support or be against it's legality depending on how I view the topic itself, not the censorship of it, which is always wrong no matter what.

Except that's not what's happening. Steam isn't telling devs "we don't want you here", they accept the costs for putting the game up for sale and then remove it or they demand that devs self-censor before they accept it on their platforms.
Besides, you're doing the classical mistake of mixing platforms with publishers. If Steam wants to curate their content, they become responsible for everything they sell and are liable for a whole bunch of shit. Which admitadly, it would be hilarious to see the results, but we know very well it's not gonna happen. If they aren't liable as an editor, then they should not have the rights of one.

You did not, you're conflating age restrictions with censorship on purpose just so you have an argument. An underage being incapable of legally buying Maxim doesn't mean Maxim is censored.

Because those games aren't illegal, at least outside of Canada. And since Steam can do regional availability, there's no reason to censor the games.

You're incapable of understanding the difference between censorship and legality, between censorship and age restrictions and between fiction and reality.

They have guidelines on what is and is not acceptable in their store that devs need to abide by and they are 100% within their rights to do so. Valve is not obligated to sell any game that wants to be on their storefront, there is nothing stopping the devs from releasing uncensored versions of their games, Valve is just one of several different digital game sellers out there, the devs are even free to release it on their own website. If you consider what Valve is doing is censorship then you also consider the right of stores to pick and choose what they sell is also censorship. Should Valve be forced to sell video games against their will?

Congratulations on making one of my points for me. Pro-censorship and anti-censorship are not binary. There are varying degrees and wildly different opinions and exceptions to the rule.

That they'll selectively enforce or make up on the spot or not even care to begin with.
Hatred springs to mind, the many VNs that are removed and then re-instated too.
Or the many times devs go out of their way to self-censor and provide adult patches but the game is still removed.
Or when the devs clearly state the age of the characters as being over 18 and the game is still being removed because "under age characters".
Steam having guidelines to follow isn't the issue as long as they stick to them, but they've shown they don't at all.
>Congratulations on making one of my points for me. Pro-censorship and anti-censorship are not binary.
