Why Are Only Sex Games Censored?

There are a lot of things on Steam that should be far more concerning to parents than sexual content. I get that sex isn't health for children but are we being real right now? Is that all that matters to Americans? There are a lot of things adults do that children can't. Why do we only seem to care about sex? Alcohol, drugs, smoking, violence, excessive language, all these things are just as bad but yet, those aren't being monitored. It's kind of annoying as someone who grew up with Christian values to see the country only care about one thing when there are a hundred things that are just as bad not being monitored at all. At least 60% of the games on Steam have some sort of mature rating on them. So, why are they not being censored? Does it really not seem logical that if something has a mature rating that maybe children shouldn't view it? Why are parents expecting everyone else to do their job for them? I should have to sacrifice my freedom of viewing content just because some lazy ass bum won't be a parent. It's not my fault these children are growing up without proper parenting. It's their fault for not providing protection. The public doesn't raise your children, you do. Why do we get denied because of their mistakes? If the country cared about the future, we'd be better parents and would raise children in a healthy way. But no, that's too much to ask for I guess. Anyway, thoughts?

They are not censored. They are removed from Steam.

Because the British Government decided that they had the right to censor the entire Internet.

Depends on where you're viewing the material from. America, for instance, never let go of our weirdly Puritanic aversion to sex. Like the Puritans, we're 100% okay with violence, but if Little Timmy sees a titty, we lose our collective mind.

To be clear: I do not now advocate--nor have I ever advocated--for exposing kids to pornographic material; they lack the brain development to process it properly, and it can give them some really messed up ideas and expectations about sex.

But it's really strange that we're okay with Little Timmy headshotting people from across the map while demonstrating to the entire voice chat he just learned how to say big boy swears, but we cannot abide the representation of the act that brought us all into this world in the first place.

Okay with destruction, but not procreation.

...probably explains the frequency of our school shootings, to some degree.

That's some high quality nonsense. As in, why now? Why now is 2025 is it suddenly occurring to people that we shouldn't let kids see this stuff?

Yes.

Everything non-sex related is fine for them.

Because it is easier to enforce laws with the new image recognition technology
The laws are ancient but were impossible to enforce with the massive output of the internet back then.

"Your games" still exist.

In the whole of my life, I have played *one* sex game; it was a visual novel a buddy lent to me as a joke after I'd gone through a bad breakup. This was in 2004.

It took thirty seconds to get to the blinking. I laughed at how unrealistic it was, uninstalled it, and moved on.

I've been playing games since the 80s. Still play them today. The existence of genres I have no functional interest in doesn't stop me from playing what I *do* enjoy, nor should it stop you.

Oh, gosh. This BS again.

How can a country that produces so much porn and entertainment with nudity and sex have an "aversion" to it? Where is the aversion? Not only is there porn and sexuality coming out of the wazoo, it's even spread to mainstream entertainment, where little girls and teens can dress up as "sexy witches" (with garter belts, fishnet stockings and bustiers) and women show up dressed as female characters to Comic Con in thongs, push up bras and revealing catsuits.

There are sex scenes all the time on cable and streaming. including rape. Pop singers for little girls dress like strippers and showgirls, even going nude or practically topless in their videos and photo spreads and teaching them how to twerk...but America is Puritanical?

The cognitive dissonance on the part of porn and sex addicts is hilarious. Sex and porn all over the place in the US--to the part where we're actually hypersexualized--but oh, no...try to reign 1% of that in, and we're losing our minds. On top of all that, 90% of the world doesn't come close to the amount of over-the-top sleaze that we have. But we're Puritanical. Compared to who, exactly?
