Using social media has brought out a much more vulagar side to me than I know what to do with internally.
I am seeing the worst thoughts of total strangers and being judged then judging myself more harshly than I probably should.
I want to make art that provokes/gets people to want to live better!

I'm glad to see someone else talking about Vile: Exhumed, another game by an indie dev that was banned from Steam recently that deserves far more attention than it got. The creator chose to release the game for free and it's absolutely worth your time to play. Deeply affecting, raw, and unsettling
Steam are notoriously inconsistent and have been for years. For every game they block claiming one reason that's supposedly a hard line in the sand, they handwave five that drove a monster-truck over that same line.
Case, Vile: Exhumed. Banned for having real photography with *implied* nudity.

Horses is being censored to the extent that the censoring storefronts dominate distribution. That should be pretty simple to understand, no?
The effects of censorship are not really from the consumer (*can I get this media?") point of view; they control what's commercially viable to make, upstream.

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

so in your view the fact that censoring happens is in itself a justification? thats circular. silly. pre-knowledge of unfair treatment does not then excuse the treatment.

I just don't know what to do about this. I'm genuinely at a loss.
"Has muslims, thumbs down" is now just written on the Steam page for Little Rocket Lab, and I cannot remove it. Anyone coming in to look at our game will rightly just think "What the fuck?", and there's nothing I can do.

Assuming there isn’t more to this than we know, it is indeed very embarrassing to see an industry obsessed with being taken seriously as an art form self censor in this way.

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...
Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.
