It's been very obvious to me since this entire collective shout situation started that queer people + other marginalized groups are the main target. It's not about what is or isn't "nsfw," at least not really. It's just about shutting up minorities and punishing us for daring to share our creative works at all.
I'm disgusted (but not surprised) that you were lied to. I'm disgusted (but not surprised) that you are now being ignored. I genuinely hope Steam treats you and your game with more respect. This childishness from itch is just a giant headache all around. I'm very sorry that you weren't taken seriously, you did not deserve that disrespect at all </3
