[Genre] - Add an actual genre tag for "Porn"

[󠁳⁧⁧RenokK]

Maybe I'm a rare user that doesn't like games like these when it comes to Steam. But I'm getting annoyed that there is no clear way to filter out Porn or Hentai games using genre tags.
I like browsing the new releases page, but almost every 5th game in the new releases is a porn game.

I know that most of these games are clearly tagged with the user-tags for "Nudity" and "Sexual Content".

But hiding those tags from my results will also remove games that I might be interested in.
For example, filtering out "Sexual Content" in my searches would also hide games like "Cyberpunk 2077" and "Vampyr", while filtering out "Nudity" would remove titles like "Blasphemous" and "Kingdom Come: Deliverance".

So my suggestion is, to add an actual genre tag "Porn" for games that are just that.

This would remove Hentai and other pure porn games that I'm not interested in, while still showing what I might like to buy.

P.S.: I never thought I would write the word "porn" so often in one community post

EDIT:
So while typing this suggestion I was chatting to friends on Discord.
And after a bit of talking about the whole situation we found that we can actually turn this off by disabling "Adult Only Sexual Content" in our account settings.

I can't remember actually checking this myself. But I might just have done it when those games weren't as prominent in the new releases section and forgot about it.

EDIT2:
Even after unchecking "Adult Only Sexual Content" a game called "Hentai Pix" is still showing up when browsing new releases....
Sooo yeah, doesn't seem to work that well...

Block tags instead.

You can't block "porn" tag if it doesn't exist.
OP is asking for "porn" tag so he can block games with that tag from showing on his store page.

Anime, Visual Novel...

regarding a similar question...
I offered before to add ability of blocking of certain combination of tags, instead of single ones.
It will work more precisely, avoiding exclusion of too wide range of things.

afaik, unchecking "Adult Only Sexual Content" also may exclude way too wide range of things and not exclude things you actually need to be excluded.

as a fast solution excluding "anime" tag helps a lot.
(although when some things have this tag mistakenly, it may exclude the things you may need)

That's the only thing that would actually work.
Excluding any single tag will always exclude some games that you don't want excluded.

Yeah, I've heard that the "new releases" section shows you "adult only" games regardless of whether you have the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter checked or unchecked. To be fair, I think the same goes for the other filters under "Mature Content," ("General Mature Content," "Frequent Violence or Gore," "Nudity or Sexual Content,") but it would be nice if Valve changed it so that the "new releases" section didn't show you "adult only" games when you have the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter on.

The "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter should stop "adult only" games from showing up in most other areas, though.

All games I've seen with the "adult only" banner on their store pages have clearly been "porn" games, so if someone doesn't want to see porn I don't think they have to worry about the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter getting rid of anything they may want to see. I made a "catch all" post a while ago that may help clear some things up about the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter:

I don't want to use the "adult only" filter because it will get rid of games like GTA V:

Don't use the "Nudity or Sexual Content" filter, use the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter, instead. "Nudity or Sexual Content" is a much broader filter that will target those types of games. The "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter is more precise and will only get rid of games with the "adult only" banner on their store pages.

And, no, do not think that because you have the "Nudity or Sexual Content" filter enabled you don't need to enable the "adult only" filter. The "Nudity or Sexual Content" filter is not meant to take care of the "porn” games, as such not only will it get rid of games that aren't porn, but it's possible that you will still see "porn" games with it enabled.

I have the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter enabled and I'm still seeing "porn" games:

First off, is the box next to the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter checked or unchecked? Checked means the filter is disabled, unchecked means the filter is enabled.

Next, do the games you are seeing have the "adult only" banner on their store pages? If the answer is "no" then the filter is working as intended. What you are most likely seeing are not "porn" games, but rather just fanservicey and on the lewd side games.
Games that would fall into this category are games like the Sakura series. These games are not porn, nor should they be labeled porn or else the fear some people have of non "porn" games being filtered out by the "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter may become an actual problem.

So, what can you do if you want to get rid of those types of games? Try excluding the "anime" and/or "Visual Novel" tag(s); I've heard that tends to work.

I should probably add the bit about the "new releases" section being unaffected by "Adult Only Sexual Content" filter to it.

There actually is a way to block these out...

Did this Change in the "LIBRARY BETA UPDATE"?
I did not Opt Into the LIBRARY BETA...

There are 3 Options already Available...

1.) Block Nudity & Content
2.) Block Nudity & Content Even further...
3.) Blurr Nudity related Content...

In STEAM Store...


So far, I don't have any idea if #3 even works...

[󠁳⁧⁧RenokK]

Block tags instead.
Anime, Visual Novel...

Yeah, that would be a good idea, but here is why it isn't:
"Orwell" is tagged visual novel. I know, not really a new release, but a game that I loved. I wouldn't see those games in new releases when blocking this tag.
Same goes for blocking "Anime". That would block amazing games like "Ni no Kuni" and "Final Fantasy".

So no, can't just block those tags.

I know that my examples are sorto big games and already a bit older and would not appear in new releases. But I hope you get my point

[GuRu Asaki]

They should actually, be more direct with what Adault Only Content is actually to be blocked...

Be more Detailed, maybe?

Adult Only Sexual Content & Nudity or Sexual Content

I just don't want like sltty Games, but I still want Games like GTA,
where they have Adult Themed Clubs...

So it's like they need to be more specific of what we
can Block Out of our Store Pages...

Also, I think these things should be blocked in all Areas of the Store Page,
not specific Areas...

I would hate to find that STEAM got overly censored one day with nothing
but PG-13 / TEEN & Under related only Content, due to some minor finding
some porn on STEAM that was not filtered out, when a Filter was placed, &
Valve got in trouble, & we had to suffer, because of it... o_@

Go to a library and try to complain about adult content you dont like to read....... As usual apply tags and accept you may miss a couple of titles eg- gta witcher ect , or treat steam as a multipurpose store.

Sure they might have a few things you dont like here and some stuff might squeeze through loopholes, but hey we are adults here (mostly) and if you cant skip past these titles then the issue is with yourself.

Oh and as for the "children" excuse- use the parental tools steam gives you and supervise your children , if they are unsupervised well, if they are here browsing on steam it means they've got the whole web to see things that maybe they shouldn't.
Click next and move on people.

Welcome to 2019, you will find the current year much different from the victorian age you came from. People are now much more toler....yeah I couldn't finish that cause we are more intolerant than every before, at least the modern left are.

Bring back the hippy liberals please, I don't like these fascist lefties that want everything banned and speech made illegal.

What kind of a crap argument is this supposed to be?
I have no problem with those games existing. Never said I had any issues with that.
Okay, I agree that I could have chosen better words in the first sentence. But getting those games removed was not what I meant by that. I'm sorry for any sort of misunderstanding on that part.
If you like it, good for you. Go ahead. Play them, buy them, do whatever you want. You are free to do so.

Still, in my opinion, there should be a clear way to filter them out for those that are just not interested in those type of games.

I don't want anything banned. Just a way for me to filter out content I don't like for myself.

[AmsterdamHeavy]

God, another one of these?

Look, OP, YOU enabled the adult sexual content. Period. End of.

Dont come here complaining about seeing stuff THAT YOU ENABLED. There isnt a problem because you dont understand how those filtering options work.

Read the answers, turning off adult only content does NOT apply to browsing new releases.

Yes, it does. You will not see "porn" in new releases if you dont have it enabled.

I always think these threads are ridiculous. I have all the filter disabled, they can show me anything and guess what?

I pretty much never see these games in the store. I wonder why that is?

...and let's completely skip over the fact that what youre saying is Valve is showing "porn" in the store, to anyone, with no filters, including minors. No, they are not.

No. That isnt happening. What is far more likely is that you are seeing stupid "hentai slider puzzle" games, that have NO nudity, that "righteous" people like yourself have gone ahead and abused the tag system with, labeling them as "adult, sexual, etc". This happens. frequently.


EDIT: Hentai Pix is NOT one of those games. However, it DOES have DLC that makes it into one of "those games". Id argue that since the base game does not include "porn", that it isnt a "porn" game. I will acknowledge that the DLC is free if you buy the game, which is an interesting development - but "the game" itself isnt a "porn" game.
