talking about the Horses/Steam controversy and all the topics surrounding it

I think it's kind of interesting how there are 1909209102921 porn games on Steam that feature sexual violence, slavery, and torture in an effort to titillate the player, but the second a game includes those themes to analyze and critique the ways in which they're normalized within society it gets nuked from orbit.

Like there's a fascinating Second Wind video where they go "why is Horses banned but THESE games aren't when they feature the same stuff??" and then show a bunch of games you're supposed to jack off to. Like they don't point out the difference in genre at any point even though that's the obvious thing separating Hentai Slave Harem 3 and Horses, if violence against women is something you're meant to find hot it's allowed and if it's something you're meant to sit with and find revolting it's not. Not saying that either of these should or shouldn't be on Steam, but it's frankly really telling how one is and one isn't.
