It uses figurative language instead of the literal meaning of words so it’s complete nonsense.

Those words are already lost.

“Heaven” originally meant “the visible sky” so this is fine.

This guy is trying to mop up the beach every time the tide comes in.

Heaven forbid someone use a colloquialism! How will they ever be understood?

(For the sake of clarity I feel I must point out that I do not believe Heaven should, in fact, forbid such a practice. I fear without this clarification my first sentence is impossible to understand.)

Or if musicians started playing random accidentals in their Bach performances, because they don’t feel it’s important to alter keys at their whim?

That would be the equivalent of a writer inserting bacon random words.

The musical equivalent would be a musician making a deliberate choice to alter the performance because they like how it changes the piece. I would be perfectly fine with that.

A writer once put the letter ‘s’ in ‘eiland’ in order to make the word look more Latin. This, despite the fact that the word ‘island’ has no Latin roots. It caught on and now that is the proper spelling of ‘island’ and you’d be a fool to try to force people to spell it ‘eiland’.

English is used by the unwashed masses and trying to get it to adhear to strict rules or not change will be as effective as trying to stop a flood by holding out your hand.

English was not exactly right when you were born with the spelling of ‘island’ and was wrong hundreds of years ago with ‘eiland’, nor is it wrong that dumb means stupid instead of mute, or literally can be used to mean figuratively.

The article from July explains why Steam banned this game last month, despite Itch (which stopped selling certain games due to the payment processors) is selling it?

Who is this article writer that can see 4 months into the future?!

You claimed Steam banned this because of the payment processors. The same payment processors being used by stores that didn’t ban this. Seems a relevant point to the discussion we are having.

Do the other stores hosting the game have the same payment processors?

Steam hasn’t banned adult games. That is proven with a quick search of Steam’s catalog.

the slippery slope starts somewhere.

You know slippery slope is a fallacy right? The “slippery slope” can also stop anywhere.

When did I (or anyone else) exert pressure on Steam to not carry this? My understanding is this is a decision Steam made.

I don’t know but don’t give up. Try reading my post again, take it slow, I’m sure your can work it out.

That’s not how that works. You don’t get to decide what a store does and does not sell. Steam refuses hundreds of games a year, this one doesn’t get special treatment.

Saying “I understand why (store) would not want to carry this product” is not the same as saying “no store should carry this product.”

drawing a murder isn’t murder and drawing Noncon isn’t rape.

Drawing people having sex isn’t sex, but it is porn. Verbally attacking someone isn’t assault, but it can be abuse. Drawing a comic where someone tortures and then kills the president of the United States isn’t murder, but it will get the FBI knocking on your door.

The scene where a little girl asks to ride a naked man, and then rides a naked man? You don’t see why that might be problematic?

Considering there website proudly shows it is banned on Steam I’m sure this was done on purpose for the publicity.

Why did Epic ban it though? They didn’t get the ‘tainted’ preview version and normally love to have games that aren’t on Steam.

It’s all gone downhill since
