it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to.

oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?

Tangential, but in my steam library, there is a single anime game, a free bullet hell that I pretty quickly realized was both too difficult and annoying for me. The main character’s voice was so piercingly shrill that I had to mute all voices to survive using a super move without experiencing an aneurysm.

Now my recommendations are all hentai jigsaw puzzles, and I don’t even particularly like jigsaw puzzles or hentai. Steam doesn’t seem like the sort of company to abandon porn, if that was all it took to get them to advertise it to me.

    There's a setting in your store preferences to hide those games. It distinguishes between "there's sometimes nudity" and "porn game" even. 1000038244

    I feel ridiculous for not remembering this. I set everything to visible because I expected some pornographic masterpiece of gameplay to somehow fall in my lap like 10 years ago. Thank you, now I can browse steam in public.

    That was Monster Girl Quest for me...

    It's a visual novel with turn-based combat, so the gameplay's eh, but story-wise it's phenomenal.

    Realistically it's not crazy to be at least a little bit upset with the sheer fucking number of them. I just wanted to make sure you and others knew that you can hide those smut games without hiding like everything with any NSFW content in it.

    It's pretty funny seeing people complain about this because you know that they enabled this setting and forgot about it.

    I personally enabled it a long time ago because I didn't want anything I didn't directly hide in the store to be hidden from me. Changed my mind after being inundated by the sheer fucking number of them. It was like half my damn recommendations sometimes.

    I’m not sure if that was the company, but it was certainly in that style. iirc, it was a fan game, but don’t quote me. I saw some video on black midis and wanted to try a game that incorporated similar music,
