The majority of countries where Steam sells games have strict laws regarding the depiction of minors in any kind of situation which could be considered sexual, whether it’s a real child or not. It’s a very strange hill to die on when the devs clearly identified that was the issue and removed it from their game.
Im pretty much always against censorship. As described it does not sound sexual as its just nudity and this riding thing. I mean nobody talks about lady gadiva like she fucked a horse. The hill to die on is weird to me to use in this situation. Its one conversation about something that neither of us has any ability to effect.
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information that may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically inconvenient, or morally questionable by an authority or group.
In this case the group is steam. Government censorship is not the only kind. You can have corporate and even self.
well of course. if the state said take it down it would be different but this situation does not seem to have any legal issues.

Not wanting to sell a product isn’t censorship of the product. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what censorship is.
I think the misunderstanding is with you.
