Why Doesn't VALVe Do Anything about "Loli" Anime Content?

[The Fountain of Knowledge]

Search up Steam groups (and other stuff like that on Steam) with that word right now. Every group about that stuff looks pretty concerning, lightly put.

Rules and Guidelines For Steam: Discussions, Reviews, and User Generated Content:
Don't discuss or engage in unlawful or prohibited activity
Any posts or activities that violate Steam's legal agreements are not allowed.

Examples of prohibited conduct include:
[...]
Exploitation of minors

There are many Steam features that support custom image and content uploads for players. Examples include screenshots, player artwork, custom profiles, and workshop items.

When uploading images or workshop content, you should adhere to the following guidelines:
[...]
Content that exploits children in any way;
[...]

Many things, not even covertly, OPENLY hint at THAT stuff while being all very popular. How is this even remotely acceptable??? Groups with names like "[...] Appreciators" shouldn't have a place on Steam.

Period.

Anime is a form of art. You should be ashamed of yourself; putting hands on art, censoring it, patronizing it, are bad and ugly things.

Whenever you are upset by coming into contact with some content, you can always avoid it, leaving in peace those who do appreciate it as is.

Last but not least, there are plenty of games -and especially, animation projects- that uglify characters on purpose, following the woke agenda down to the letter. Just go enjoy the genres/themes that you like and stop creating problems for those who like anything different than your very own, strictly personal preferences. D_mn1

except you can. it's morally bad to murder people.... not to mention that these days you see a lot of people going out of their way to harm people... so it makes sense... in your people's logics... to ban anything morally bad including murder... cuz it sure is a "bad influence" yes? hell you people really go out of way to make some murders look realistic or somethin...

oh, and let's not forget drugs... and whatevers... bad for people! think of children! na its ok its just imaginary thing... paid actors... its just a movie... or just a game... move on....

So what was this about loli thing again? oh yeah crime related to real life thing.... well its just a movie.... or a game...or a literal pixels drawn by some artists... oh wait sorry "us westerners" cant handle it cuz insert bazillion excuses that absolutely makes no sense or makes sense if they followed same rule regarding anything else...

Well, murder has always been present in all forms of art, from Shakespeare to cartoons made for kids. Can you say that about pedophilia?

yes... in fact i have quite few...
muhammad effing one for start...it's quite a famous one tbh... which no one really knows for sure if he actually effed...
i'm pretty sure our old story that is like several hundred ago also have one guy marrying children , also including tentacle porn...
I also remember watching a movie about some islamic entity buying young as child girl for whatever reasons (it wasn't a main point, but it was a part of scene)...don't remember the name of it tho, but my highschool teacher showed it as a part of ethics teachings...
hell. if you really think about it, it is "common" actually...

then again, why the hell do you care? killing a people is equally bad. but you are fine dealing with imaginary murders because it is imaginary, no one gets actually hurt, not because it is "common".
so is drugs. is drugs THAT common? as far as i could tell, no, they are more gang-ly or mafia-ly stuff, and while there is a few like GTA- they aren't that common than simple murdering or wars...
ah, also stealing things! they are common as ♥♥♥♥ in your real life- even in mine. stealing properties bad. but you don't give ♥♥♥♥ in games cuz it's imaginary, no one really gets hurt (at least when you do it on NPCs. shame on you if you did it in MMORPG or some ♥♥♥♥)

Well, I'm sorry but that is irrelevant. If a nazi developer makes a game about torturing and killing the minorities they hate, you could say the same thing: no real people were harmed. Does that make such game acceptable? I don't think so.

There's already plenty of Nazi games out there, and I'm sure there's some games that do that. Heck in GTA V there is a torture scene in the game!

There's even a school shooting video game (yes this actually exist look it up!) and it's not banned!

It's the original POSTAL, and RWS decided not to have the kids get hit because they just don't want to have their game to stoop down to that level.

Many games do have torture scenes, yes, but you're ignoring everything else I said.

And if there is that kind of game you want that game to be banned too?

A game like this? Yes.

Also, does anybody here know of the book called Lolita? Now I don't know if it can be considered lolicon, but it's a controversial book about a man who's obsessed with an underaged girl. This book is not banned by the way, does anybody think that this book should be banned too? I'm just wondering.

And again I am against pedophilia and real CP.

Well, beauty is entirely subjective. Some men are into BBW, for example.

Just because something is art that doesn't mean that anything goes.

Impossible to answer that without reading it.

Again no real people were harmed in making it.

And again that is not the point here. No real people were harmed in the making of ANY game, that's something obvious. But that doesn't mean that everything should be allowed.

in fact it is opposite.... everything should be allowed as long as it doesn't harm any real people...
it is only the logical way of thinking.

because to say otherwise would mean "oh murder games shouldn't be allowed as well", etc etc more censorship..... and you can't stop this line of thinking once it starts... cuz "this doesn't mean that everything should be allowed"...

[Vince ✟]

Hard to believe users will openly support that type of mentality with the idea that : all things should be allowed, or none at all, derp derp.

These are you 36yr old tik tok dm creeps you see on the iceberg videos.

THIS!!!

I am honestly just baffled about how people complain about lolicon media when NO REAL PEOPLE WERE HARMED IN MAKING IT! Just like how no real people were harmed in making GTA games!

Can you explain the purpose of loli? Everyone understands the purpose of GTA.

GTA actively actively has crime, killing police officers and making them the "bad guys", killing civilians, terrorist acts and more. If you are trying to saying "loli" which in itself is not a sexual term and is just to describe the look of a character, but lets just assume for this argument you are only talking about loli/shota hentai is somehow promoting and supporting pedophilia while gta is fine then you have major double standards. People play gta and watch and play hentai games for the same reason and that is entertainment.

People are fine with things being banned that they don't like, but if you use their same logic to point out what they like also will fall under that umbrella then they will fight tooth and nail to defend it. It is always the same and always is leads back to to their own double standards.

Isn't censorship becoming more and more common in Japanese media now? Now I know they have censorship even for just normal and legal porn like mosaic censorship.

Also I've heard that even in Japan people are starting to be against lolicon media too.

Report them. I've seen many get taken down.
UGC moderation has always been quite slow, so don't expect instant resolution.

Why bother? If Valve gets into enough legal trouble maybe they'll decide it is worth it to invest into proactive moderation.
