      > In the early build reviewed by Valve, day six featured a scene in which a man and his young daughter visit the farm. The daughter wants to ride one of the horses, resulting in an interactive dialogue sequence where the girl rides on the shoulders of a naked "horse" while it's led by the player. Young girl interacts with naked man and you saw no problem with it... > "The scene is not sexual in any way," Maybe not to you but that doesn't change the content of what you submitted to Valve. > the young character was changed into a twenty-something woman. "Both to avoid the juxtaposition," it explains, "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." Cool, the review build still featured a young girl riding a naked man and you thought that was a great idea...

                  The dude said that someone was probably "having a bad day" and banned it just because fuckem, but this sounds more likely.

                    I believe so, except in review build it was a minor who was riding it, and we don't know what else was there in the "interactive dialogue sequence"

                            That's no exception at all. "moralists see nudity and think it can only represent sex" clearly defines it.

                              That's what they changed it to, after the damage was done. They first submitted a build with a child riding the naked horse-man, which is probably what flagged it for good.

                                On another note, I remember some time ago reading a forum where people were discussing how to explain to their children that scene from My Neighbor Totoro where the father takes a bath with the daughters, and how that scene wasn’t appropriate for children or something like that… culture shock.

                                        "yes yes, a young girl asks to and then rides a naked man. I don't understand why anyone would hear that sentence and immediately assume it was something sexual."

                                          I have definitely noticed an uptick in the number of articles attacking Steam. I find all of them to be a little over blown.
