    It was rejected because in the build they submitted for review a minor was riding a naked person with a horse mask and valve saw that as sexual which i find fair considering ponyplay being a thing. I understand valve wanting to distance themselves from anything involving a minor that could be seen as sexual

        You are really giving off “it’s not pedophilia, it’s hebephilia” vibes here…

        Yes, technically, they fixed an issue, that doesn’t fix how it was able to become an issue in the first place. The developers are either going for “very, very thinly disguised fetish” or completely absentminded outrage farming in a very bad way.

          Didn’t think bumping the child’s age to a twenty something old women counts as hebephilia. But hey, you’re the fucking expert here.

          We have since changed the character in the scene to be a twenty-something woman, both to avoid the juxtaposition and more importantly because the dialogue delivered in that scene, which deals with the societal structure in the world of HORSES, works much better when delivered by an older character.
