Why are games with murder and torture allowed?
But games with extreme sexual acts are not allowed.

We allow in games some crimes that are objectively worse than others. Yes, objectively. Look up the punishments for these crimes.

Used to be a time when such extreme sexual content was allowed even in mainstream media, let alone adult content. A Clockwork Orange. An oscar winning movie.

Has the world gone this soft? Unable to differentiate fiction from reality?

Explain.

Because it's not consider porn. And anything depicting beauty and strength in the naked form is considered porn by religious, dogmatic, problematic cultures. The reason Christians destroyed amazing statues in ancient Greece.

dbd my favourite game, 9k hours. definitely kind of a "torture simulator" from the killer perspective
If women can be men and vice versa, then yes, the world can't tell fiction from reality

Porno is stimulating and addictive to many

Gore is only addictive to a certain type of sicko who are already messed up anyway

Yeah, and 99.999% of them are all dead. The remainder will die shortly.
See?

Those types are called religious fanatics. Or in general.

There's a term for this sort of argument.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/whataboutism
whataboutism
noun
what·​about·​ism ˌ(h)wä-tə-ˈbau̇-ˌti-zəm
ˌ(h)wə-
plural whataboutisms
: the act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse

Anyway, regarding your posts....Historically, when released, Clockwork Orange was rated X, which meant that it was age restricted. They later re-edited it to get a R rating, which is less age restricted.

As for sexual content, go look up your local laws. Lots of local laws regarding what you can sell or can't sell regarding sexual content.

Anyway, the payment providers don't care about sexual content. They don't care. What they care about is that steam selling child porn makes them an accomplice and then they can be sued too. Payment providers care about money, as they should. This:

Because dictators love violence and cruelty, it enables them to push people doing horrible things to other people in effort to control and subjugate them.
