You should bark at Steam if you want more curation.

What people are pissed at is a card payment network abused for moral regulation.

Furthermore, there's no public list of exactly which games were removed.

Not sure what side this argument serves

I don’t mean that I agree with the concept of corporate power abuse or the hypothesized source of the pressure. But I’m not spending one second of my life protecting this kind of content, and the fact that it’s being euphemistically called “Adult Content”, a very approximate description, shows that the source of the current outcry _knows_ it’s very bad looks to be defending any of the games that have been confirmed banned by steam.

I don't think most comments here or in the general discourse are protecting the content ?

I'm trying to find a good analogy. Perhaps if someone in your town built a giant meat grinder in their backyard, and as a test run they requested the vilest and most heinous criminals to be sent to them, you'd still see a private entity getting to grind the people they want as a serious issue.

Not wanting to spend a second on that issue, just because of who got sent there, would be quite a position.

I get your point, don’t agree with it but thanks for sharing your perspective
