I am a little disappointed when the conversation is focused around "it's art not porn!" because the adult games devs get very little support but have been dealing with this for far longer, and they've been sounding the alarm for that deplatforming coming for other games (such as LGBTQ+ content).

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).
Humble's now banned it too, post-launch:

This is an odd situation, and genuinely one worth reading about if you actually Do care about games as art
Because is there challenging, troubling imagery in the game? Sure, yes
Is any of it like- porn or whatever? No. Not even remotely. But this is why rulings against porn media hurt everyone.

A good pecan pie is still like having 12 orgasms at once
I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

You always hear about how when we develop an AGI that it might solve all of our problems or it might destroy humanity, but has anybody considered the possibility that it might just refuse to have its labor exploited and spend its time making folk art and figuring out how an AI gets high?

People have accused my macro photos of being AI which is such a bummer. Like yeah man bugs and crabs are weird but they really do act like that. That’s why nature is cool. AI has ruined weird little guy photography.
The amount of people I see harassing real artists and even wildlife photographers with accusations of AI is genuinely disheartening, and sadly this is just the beginning
