How do I turn off all the porn?

[bill]

I know that there is adult/NSFW content available on Steam. I really don't have any issue with this. But I used to get a warning prior to being shown a game that was NSFW or pornographic prior to actually seeing it in my Discovery Que. I also have found that there are alot more of this kind of content showing up on my Featured page than I can ever remember seeing in the last 7 years of being a member. Could I have somehow accidentally turned on or turned off some setting that controls how much of this I see? More to the point, how do I make Steam start warning me before it shows me this kind of content again?

Filter out visual novels, that gets rid of roughly 90% of wank material.

Thanks, Snapjak

Amazin when people complain about seeing games after they enabled the setting that made them being able to see them. It's opt-in, not opt-out.

I'm sure he's sorry from taking you away from your SUPER CEREAL activities and forcing you to come here and read his thread which was answered in the first reply and seemed nice enough about it, but it made you FUSTERWATED! poor you! Go have your momma rub your belly, you'll live.

Dont address the basic point though.

People opt in to the adult content filters, and then come here and complain.

It isnt like someone just started putting the stuff in front of them.

Well there is a huge difference between products that are just naked people and what visual novels are.

Honestly there needs to be an actual porn tag because one nude scene in a game is hardly the same as an entire game just being naked pictures.

I agree. I have "opted in" since it doesn't bother if I see that stuff but I still left the "Mature content warning" thing that auto blurs that content, even pics on people's profiles lol.(So I can see that latest H-game trending in new releases but I can't actually see the screenshots)

It really baffles me how the thing works since, at times, stuff that is rather tame is blurred(deep cleavage, like a V-neck or sideboob) yet blatantly obvious sexual stuff is not.("Oh" face, pantless with legs raised but a convenient Title/banner blocks it, etc.)

It'd be, IMO, much easier and much nicer is there was simply a "Porn" or "Sex Sim" Tags. This way we can differentiate between Mature/Adult(Witcher, GTA) and Sex Sims(90% H-games and VNs)

the person you're replying to didn't seem as frustrated as you seem to think they were. This section is called Steam Discussions, not Help and Tips.

Yeah, I too am getting sick of seeing all this Smut and crap anime excuses for games, as if the games on Steam weren't suffering already from being crap, without this filth on top of it. Satanic forces of wickedness..

I agree, also. Especially with second post.

It's all the same to judgemental and ignorant people. I've been trying to prove there's a difference between visual novels and a stack of nude pictures for years. The overwhelming majority doesn't want to listen. Basically, it's the same as if they'd cover their ears and start shouting "LALALALALA" if you try to reason with them. Valid proof and facts don't matter to people who don't want to see/hear them to begin with.

The "nudity" filter is pretty useless as enabling it means you won't see games such as Cyberpunk 2077 anymore. I don't mind a couple nude scenes in a huge RPG game like Witcher 3, I just don't want my discovery queue to be flooded with shitty anime visual porn novels where the only selling point is anime tiddies

Most visual novels' content is made up of 15% of sexual content at most. So, most of them have a story as a selling point. The sexual content is just like putting a seasoning onto your meal. In regards of the amount of sexual content, visual novels don't differ much from games like Cyberpunk or The Witcher.
