What gets me is that fanfic/fanart creators have been talking about the subject of getting dogpiled, harassed, and pressured *for so many years now* about making dark/unsettling content, and let nobody listened to the canary in the coal mine because “stupid fandom drama”
alternatively we as a society could realize that fiction is about playing with dolls and that horrible things happening to them doesn't matter because it's all toys.
but that seems more complicated than just bringing back big box PC games and publishing books alongside them

Horses' only sin is that its broad themes don't entirely pay off its loaded imagery. Otherwise, it's an effectively uncomfortable games that turns life's mundane humiliations into surreal horror. If anything, its bans fill in its thematic gaps for it. My review. www.polygon.com/horses-banne...

gundam is a funny franchise because all you need to do to make a compelling gundam series is:
- get creators who fundamentally care about other people
- let them make the fucking cartoon
and somehow one or both steps fail like 60% of the time

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

Many wonder why games journalists really struggle to cover adult games censorship
I think this games journalist posting on ResetEra about Horses really gives a pretty unprecedented look into how games journalists think about these things, including the incorrect read on the censorship angle

yeah the wild misinformation going on in basically every article comment section, when accurate information is *right there*, is astounding
i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

Did you know? In Japanese, Mickey's famous "They'll pay for this!" is used again in KH3! Mickey says it as he leaps up to cast Stopga right after Xehanort crystalizes Kairi.
(The Japanese version "許さない" is closer translated along the lines of "I won't forgive them")

the fact storefronts always completely clam up when they remove something and never respond to any requests by the developer on how to make their game compliant kind of gives away the entire game and it is dumb to pretend it doesn't

To be clear, this is just as bad as the Amazon AI dub thing. Not as much to meme about, but definitely just as bad. Remember when YouTube switched over to AI closed captions, removed the options for creators to provide their own, and then they all got immediately worse forever? This is like that.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

I highly suspect that a core of the issue is folks missing the entire point of the nudity. The "Horses" are depersoned, and the same way nobody would bat an eye at an animal being naked the game is making it a point that the "Horses" are being treated the same.
It is not lost on me that Horses is explicitly about the same sorts of generational puritanism and grooming that has sought to snuff it out.

In Agustina Bazterrica's Tender is the Flesh, a virus has killed all non-human animals and the only source of meat left is other humans. Society has adapted by, effectively, creating a class of people who are no longer people - 'special meat.'
