Why are Gore Games Blocked with an age restriction but not porn games

[SawtoothGrimm]

Its almost like steam wants kids to see them.... Is there away to make them not show up or restrict them?

Keep in mind that Adult Only Sexual Content games category is disabled by default. So, don't complain about seeing such games after enabling seeing such games.

AO content is disabled by default. Did you really create a topic just to complain after you enable stuff?

Do this, open a browser, visit Steam while not login, and look for the adult games, you realize they're not showing because it's not meant to be shown unless you enable adult content search, and only way to do this is making an account, after that you have to manually go into the settings and enable it with full intent wanting to see adult content hence why everyone saying it off by default because it is off by default.

You may have forgotten to turn it off after playing with settings, or you may have did it by mistake. Otherwise it wouldn't be on to begin with unless you wanted to see adult content, or you somehow convince yourself under some misunderstanding what it does thinking to find GTA, witcher, or etc which those are not adult games even if you think they are they are not label as such.

Do what post one said, turn it off, and your problem is solved that it. If want gore games to show up, enable gore that it, but you do not need adult content to be enable.

You do know that kids also can see the goregames?
It is not really that hard to put in numbers to tell the system that you are old enough....

wasnt disabled by default for me actually.

Doubt it, as filter is enabled by default just to prevent people from seeing adult content without their consent.

It was disabled for everybody by default. When they introduced these filters, they set the AO filter to disabled by default and new account have it disabled as well.

You might have accidentally ticked it at one point. People do that, sometimes unintentionally or even intentionally because they wrongly think that the AO filter also filters games like Witcher 3.

naked people = bad
clothed people cut and blown to bits = good

I don't think anyone has ever said it was "good."

One, however, is more socially acceptable for a movie and/or game then the other.

Well, naked people aren't inherently bad, it all depends on context.

Or it depends on the country you are from.
it is not really a secret that a lot of people in the US are afraid of naked people and sex because reasons......

Think back on the Superbowl Incident with Janet Jackson back in the day. (kids which do not know what it was.....google it)
Most people in most countries would have said ♥♥♥♥ happens, move on.

The US came to the conclusion that they need to broadcast live events time shifted so that they can switch the camera in case something like that happens again......

As I said, one is more socially acceptable then the other.

Both are dependent on context.

Someone being tortured and dismembered in a movie is acceptable. Someone doing so in real life is not.

No afraid, but it is not considered acceptable for people under a specific age. Running around naked for no reason is also not acceptable.

There are countries where showing an ankle will get one arrested, let alone nudity.

You may want to check on what other countries laws are, as you may fine the US isn't really a good example.

The FCC doesn't allow nudity to be broadcast, especially for events that are considered PG13, though there are exceptions and requirements that it can be allowed under. The time shift was needed to stay compliant with the law, in case something like that (or similar) happened again.

I've seen a lot of people claim that it's disabled by default but I know at least 3 people that claim that it wasn't disabled by default for them, myself included.

I'm keeping it enabled because I saw extremely silly things like Sex Chess or Sex with Hitler, but I know I'd never go out of my way to enable it myself

Well, they probably do...

Good point OP, shows the true underbelly of Valve/Steam.

[TGC> The Games Collector]

I know there's a very specific filter for it, but I agree it still seems odd that they do not have age gates like any of the other games with "mature" themes.

I kinda wish there was a toggle for age gates in general, but meh, that's still not gonna happen any time soon.
