In point of fact, I'm not a conservative period; that you think I am shows just how little thought and effort you've put into this argument.

It's refreshing to know that actually. It's shameful to me to think that a conservative would defend CP.

That you think drawings count as child porn merely serves to highlight your inability to separate fantasy from reality. Then there's the fact that you seem incapable of realizing that not every game with anime artwork banned from Steam has the content you're so offended by. I think you're right; we are done here. Because there's no point in trying to argue with someone who thinks being offended is justification enough to do whatever you want.

Apparently that woke game doesn't count as CP then?

No, it doesn't, for legal reasons already outlined in this thread dozens of times.
If you want to change that, write a letter to your Congressional Representatives asking them for stricter laws in this area.
But until its change, legal precedent is legal precedent, and company's like Steam are going to make decisions based on liability issues involving such precedents.

Just a reminder that western corporations are still targeting lewd (and not so lewd) anime-style content for censorship, while they ignore similarly (or even drastically more) lewd content that doesn't feature that particular art style; though that's probably because only the former ends up getting reported by offended regressive leftists (who seem to have a serious grudge against the Japanese and their culture for some reason).
Japan is a very conservative and arguably a right-nationalist country that while it certainly has its issues, is also a functional first world country that kinda flies in the face of their ideals. Anime reflects many of these views, while also pushing things like personal responsibility, showcasing actual classical heroism and romance, and, well, just generally standing against their ideals.
Add into this that Japanese media has become a refuge for westerners, especially young men, from progressive propaganda and that the progressive left has no control and very limited influence on the production of said media to corrupt it, and it has become a viable alternative media free from progressive propaganda, so of course they hate it, and the country that produces it. It's why they've tried to move to capture as much of the industry that localizes anime and manga into the US and worked to push out those who are not progressive from said industry (what, you think the conflict around Vic Mignogna is about sexual harassment?). This won't work well though, because even if they reduce it, anime fans have a long history fansubs and scanlations that they'll revert to...
Also, Japan just won't bend the knee, no matter what the regressive left here tries to do. Worse yet, there's been some active push-back from the creatives in Japan. So, failing the ability to control it at the source, they are going to do everything they can to gate-keep it on our own shores.
Face based culture rather then a shame based one.
For all of the talk about multiculturalism the regressives really cant handle serious cultural differences.
I would not get complacent about it.

Yeah, there's been something of a push towards woke ideology amongst the large Japanese media corporations (particularly in gaming) that deal extensively with the western market. It kinda reminds me of the last time they thought that pandering to what was seen as mainstream American culture was the ticket to financial success:

Japanese companies? Sure; Sony in particular jumps to mind. But to be honest, they're not really a Japanese company anymore; and they don't seem to want to be one either. I think the dividing line is who they believe their audience is; Sony (and Square-Enix to a lesser extent) seem to see Americans as their primary target demographic. Meanwhile, companies like Toei don't really give a crap what Americans think, and oftentimes seem to outright shun us as potential customers in favor of selling their content exclusively to the Japanese.
Yeah, i too would question how much of a Japanese company Sony is anymore regarding any PS related policy.

Well there was lgbt stuff in the original final fantasy 7. The cross dressing. In Japan lgbt stuff isn’t as subversive as in the west. It’s more acceptable for a conservative to support or engage with gay actions and still be conservatives.
