Following the platform’s decision to release Negligee: Love Stories, an anime story adventure that happens to include uncensored sex and nudity, the National Center on Sexual Exploitation has released a statement blaming Steam for “contributing to the cultural objectification of women.” According to the organization’s director, the game’s inclusion of pressured sexual relationships and abusive marriages “normalizes the idea that men have the right to control and abuse women.”
“Steam’s lack of effective content filtering results in easy access to extremely graphic content by 35 million minors who regularly use Steam. These types of games also train undeveloped minds to normalize sexual objectification and use of women. We are calling on Steam to reconsider the types of content they allow on their platform to protect users from degrading and harmful content,” concluded Hawkins.
