You can't label queerness as a purely sexual thing because it makes it sound like you believe all queer people are all like sycophantic perverts. Also mind you queerness also deals with gender identity which is not sexuality based at all. From the logic your pulling, games with trans character on this site should get pulled because its based on "sexual stuff". The fact people generalize queerness as sexual stuff is actually one of the main reasons creators who are making queer experience games are also worried.
And just a larger addendum but for gods sake if you hate nsfw games this much not only are they're deindexed right now but you can also filter them out with tags and settings. What are you gaining by trying to stoke fights with people in the community forums? Are you trying to get itch to make the change permanent instead of a temporary measure? The itch staff barely even read these forums and also disagree with you. Just go enjoy all the games on the site you want and leave these people alone because all you're doing is making yourself look like a moron with the times you've put your own foot in your mouth
Just Ignore him. He's an ignorant rage baiter that in his own words, can't see the bigger picture and how the people going after NSFW games have the worst of intentions. I hope the future we fear doesn't come to pass, but damn it would be hilarious to see how he tries to defend everything he said if shit like GTA or The Binding Of Isaac is banned because "MUH CHILIDREN!!!!", then people that disagree with the government gets silenced.
It is not pornography disguised as a video game.
It is video games with pornography. We humans like pornography - the depiction of sexual things - as long as there exists art. There is cave paintings with such older than what some people will tell you the world is old. You will find "sex" in all things that are expressed. No matter if video games, movies, books, paintings, sculptures and so on.
Curious how games are attacked. There is not even real people being actors and showing the sex. It is pixels all the way down. Pixels. But thought police can't have that. People being entertained by ungodly sinful pixels, instead of being pure and adhering to whatever morals are pushed by an activist group in an attempt to be seen as relevant. Attacking the weakest of the arts, indie games. It is cowardly.
If you think sexual games are bad, don't play them. But do not act like thought police or support others that do.
The post I replied to, is deleted. Iirc it claimed something along the lines of those games being pornography in disguise. Which of course provokes a headshake and a groan... ;-)
But there were times and places and still are places where anything that might be called porn or has to do with sexual things would have to be disguised.
I believe there are places in the US where this applies to sex toys in this day and age. You can't sell those, but you could sell a personal massaging device. Crazy things like that.
