am I allowed to upload NSFW Screenshots to Steam?

[sesh]

So yeah, Steam opened its gates for tons of NSFW games, am I allowed to upload any NSFW containing screenshots to steam I shot in the game?

Only to the game's own game hub, as it is age gated. Out side of that, no you are not allowed to.

Yes, if you get an age check when you go there.

Even then the hubs moderators (not the steam ones) can delete it if they want.

It's a grey area.

If you want an example goto the conan exiles hub.

They would be blurred automatically and the users would have to click and pass the age gate to view it.

As it would be blurred, there is no real reason to have it on your profile.

Not for everyone. You can disable the blurred feature, like I did myself.

Not many do that, most seem to leave it on.

So if 90% (or more) who visit your profile only see a blur, then it doesn't seem worth it.

How do you know that most people leave it on? :o

Because it is on by default.

Just like Review Comments tend to be left off as they are by default and few turn them on.

...then there is the amount of people I have to keep telling them how to turn it off, because they complain that images are blurred...

Most come here for games, not for NSFW screenshots or artwork.

Personally I wouldn’t upload nsfw screenshots even if it is allowed. Just seems like a bad idea imo. The game developer could still ban the screenshots.

rules apply, age gates or not, blurring or not.

and here a little explanation to those:

the moral age gates are a mandatory youth protection measurement to convene with local age rating agencies and their lawful foundations. it is a legal requirement to comply with those laws, these laws DO NOT INCLUDE PORNOGRAPHY. pornography can not be legally moral age-gated.

the blurring is still an experiment and it is for the user to protect them to display possibly unwanted imagery on their screens. it is neither a youth protection measurement not any legally obligated method.
in a short examples:
it might protect the user to get fired when he browses Steam at work.
it might protect the users children to accidentally see things it is not supposed to see yet.

both measurements DO NOT permit regulated content rules.

also a short example:
you upload vagina, it will be removed and judged on report.

no matter what was done to hinder it from showing.
otherwise Valve would be liable.

People still get their screenshots banned even on its own game section. It's easy to see when new games come out and you see NSFW screenshots then a day or two later they are gone. So yea no I wouldn't recommend uploading any NSFW screenshots.
