Why does Steam think I'm a weeaboo degenerate that wants Hentai advertised to them?

[Defiant]

Seriously. I've never clicked on any of that borderline pedophilia nonsense. A bunch of "artistry" of young girls that look like they're twelve damned years old-- and Steam nonstop pushes it on me? Why? I've never searched it up, clicked on it, or ANYTHING.

This shouldn't be something I have to search out. It should be something people have to opt in to. This isn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I don't want to see some degenerate loli hentai on my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suggested list everytime I browse for VIDEOGAMES.

If some random person takes a look at my Steam account they might think I'm a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Pedophile. THANKS STEAM. For CHRIST sake. What has this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world come to...

edit; To be extremely clear since apparently Steam is full of degenerate weirdos that think loli porn is acceptable. This isn't *just* "sexual content". It's not "adult" content. It's content of young children being sexual. It belongs in a category all on its own, and it's not something that should be promoted to random people. Period. End of story. That said, I never signed up for "sexual" or "adult" content anyways, but acting like being OK with adult content means you should be OK with being spammed with loli porn? What the actual hell is wrong with this world.

Loli porn should be something you have to opt in to. It's not just "sexual content" by the way.

Adult Only Sexual Content is "OFF" by default and it is an account setting to turn it on.

https://store.steampowered.com/account/preferences/

If YOU are seeing said content YOU enabled it (opted in).

It is OFF in my preferences and has never been enabled - https://ibb.co/Lp9XPXC

In fact when you do a search you will be told X amount of games are excluded based on YOUR preferences.

Alright, so, let's say I leave my computer open and a friend or my girlfriend starts looking through my Steam.

Windows key + L or Ctrl-Alt-Delete (Lock or Sign Out) locks your PC so no one can access it BUT If someone is browsing your Steam YOU chose not to lock YOUR PC.

If it's actually giving you porn and hentai, then that should be covered by your account preferences regarding adult content.

However, that doesn't cover things like fanservice. After all, it's kind of difficult to explain why Steam should put a "T"-rated game into the adult category...
And as of now, they are not trying to drive off publishers by requiring them to put a whole slew of content descriptors into the system.

And we all know that games like to put a "coming of age" theme into it.

We all know how this thread will end...

you had to turn on the ability to see sexual content in the first place.

Well yes, but no.

There are plenty of releases that aren't rated as adult only, because they're not actually adult only. You have to install a (usually free) adult only DLC to enable the graphic sexual content. It's a loophole I wish Valve would close.

As for the loli/pedophile stuff: report it from the store page. If it actually is said content, it will be removed from the store.

No loophole.You must have the adult only enabled to see the dlc so the game is not adult only. Might as well stick Witcher 3 in adult only your reasoning.

I don't see a reason for that.

Especially in Germany, where a lot of the stuff is just censored out of the shop, this allows the games to remain here. And it's not like you'll accidentally stumble onto the little trick that turns your cute little E-rated game into an A-XXX-STAY-AWAY rated monster.

And he/she says, "what's all these games?!?!" and you say, "oh, just games Steam is trying to sell to me even though I don't have any interest in them! Blasted kids!"

How hard is that to do?

Yeah, ok, assuming they actually decide to accuse me of pedophilia instead of just, you know, saying nothing and avoiding me in the future lmao. That's a pretty uncomfortable and STRANGE conversation to have with someone, the vast majority of people would likely choose not to have it and just assume I'm a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weirdo. You clearly don't have much life experience with other human beings, probably because you're at home jerking off to drawings of twelve year olds.

If you're going to rant and rave like an old timer... I can't quite see through my screen at you, ya know.

You think you need to be an "old timer" to be against pedophilia? I hope you drown to death you pathetic scumbag.

Except you're not complaining about pedophilia, you're complaining about fictional animated characters

So all boobs are acceptable, regardless of the age of the boobs?

To be extremely clear here, nudity is not the issue. However I've already made that abundantly clear-- you know you can't openly defend pedophile adjacent content so instead you try to make it about boobs instead of underage nudity being depicted.

I've never liked e-stalkers, sorry. I've played several PVP games where people genuinely stalk you on Steam and follow you from server to server. So my account is typically set to private.

Fictional animated characters that are blatantly underage. Pedophilia, as you're apparently ignorant of, means "sexual desire in an adult for a child." and yeah, fapping to depictions of children makes you a pedophile. Sorry mate. I'm really sorry to be the one to break the news to you. It's too bad that you people spend your time fapping to children instead of educating yourself so you understand the meaning of unfortunately common words such as pedophile.

Again, I've never even clicked on the advertisements I get shown. I did not enable anything in my Steam options. The only thing I can think of is I played some game labeled as mature and that opened it up. Something with excessive violence or a bit of casual nudity. There's a difference between nudity in a videogame and videogames that are focused on sexual content though. I think it's pretty nuts that people can't recognize that...

I would genuinely like to know what enabled it on my account. I never go into my settings unless I need to turn something off that's enabled by default. I don't know what else to tell you. The only thing that makes sense in my mind is that I played some kind of mature rated game that is an *actual game* that might have had a bit of nudity in it, and that told Steam that I want to see a bunch of loli anime porn. I've never played a game that's about sex itself. I've never gone into my settings and enabled that. I really don't know what else to say. Some videogames have minor nudity in them, that's a far cry from an entire game that's based around sex and nudity and is basically interactive porn.

Alright, again, for like the tenth time, I did not enable it. That's why I'm writing out these comments. It's really not that tough to wrap your head around. Congratulations, your settings are as they should be? Do you want a cookie?

But yeah, thanks for acknowledging that Steam is so toxic I need to take preventative measures to stop people from viewing it, as if I had porn advertisements open on my PC. Hell, maybe I just want to let other people use my computer, or I don't want to come off as a secretive weirdo that's hiding something on their computer. I shouldn't have to afterall, and it's *strictly* Steam at this point creating the problem.

Anyways, if this crap is enabled for me than it's likely enabled for actual children. Let's say that somehow one day I mistakenly enabled it in my settings. Alright, so any kid can go through and turn Steam into ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? Do you not see a problem with that, at all? Obviously you don't.

Anyways, you'll all be happy to hear that I received a temporary ban for what I wrote out. I mean hell, why wouldn't Steam actively defend their pedophilia content. They're making money off of it afterall.

".... Pedophile-adjacent ....?"

Insofar as that's meant to be "child-abuse-adjacent" or somesuch, it seems something would need to cross the line to be crossing-the-line. What do you mean by the phrasing?

[davidb11]

There is literally no pedophilia on Steam, and there is barely anything that qualifies as Loli.

Accusing anyone or any company of a federal crime is against the law. And accusing Steam of having pedophilia is literally just that.

OOOF.

[davidb11]

It's actually not allowed to abandon a thread just because people prove you wrong. LOL.

Don't be like this.
No one can lie constantly and then run away from the consequences.

This is what I'm talking about.

I'm the criminal, lol. That's how deranged people are these days.

Let's dissect what he just said... "there is barely anything that qualifies as Loli" so you're acknowledging that Loli content is in fact on Steam. You just argue that we should accept it because there's barely any of it? So the quantity of pedophile content is what matters? How much, precisely, is too much pedophile content?

Basically, because the games don't openly advertise as pedophile content it's acceptable? Even though they're drawing what appear to be children, with child like body proportions, child like facial proportions, etc etc etc-- it doesn't matter because they don't label them as such?

This is why I'm walking away from the conversation. In these peoples eyes, I'm the criminal.
