Literally nothing in their post suggested they were offended or that they agreed that it should be censored or blocked from Steam. In fact, if you actually read their post, they point out how harmless the content is that it's even available for purchase at Wal-Mart, a store notorious for blocking anything with a "mature audiences" label on it. You were so quick to jump to the game's defense that you didn't even realize you were arguing against someone calling BS on Steam's censorship.
And then you accused them of working for Valve!

Sounds about right. That's why I said closer to 4, because there was no way anyone would sell their games on Steam if they took even a 50% cut of the sales. It's just not a profitable partnership at that rate.

The below doesnt seem something someone who doesnt care about the sexual content would say.
Unless if it is sarcasm and I didn't get it.
| Quote: | | A few anime or at least episodes and VNs or adjacent games failed to get 18+ certificates in the last few years here in Germany as the formerly lenient rating agencies finally woke up to how abusive toward minors and women some of these were. Teen-friendly ratings used to be the norm with fanservice releases. To an infamous degree even, where American rating agencies couldn´t believe how casually sexual content was treated over here. It still is but you can´t "normalize" rape and child abuse. |

Yes, now try reading it in context again. Specifically
| residentgrigo wrote: | | Chaos;Head Noah and Child on the other hand got a 16+ and will release on the Switch with bra & panties DLC so the content can´t be that far out. This can´t be an ESRB thing. |
So even though Germany doesn't hesitate to shut down any Visual Novels that sexualize children or "normalize" rape or child abuse, the game is being released there with no qualms. Which means...this specific game isn't guilty of doing so. They then go on to point out the ESRB rating not being an issue, and finally that it's releasing at infamously overprotective Wal-Mart.
The post is literally shooting down all of the potentially understandable excuses that Valve could have used by pointing out that every platform that would also have a problem with that content has already let it pass.
Hell, the section you skipped even points out that they played the games themselves and found it to be just fine:

They wanted to make a bit of a fuss about this game. Besides that I really love to read, that's why I use https://freebooksummary.com/category/siddhartha-symbols because there I can find book summary and various interesting symbols like Siddhartha Symbols, I think it would be quite logical to close this project, because there was a lot of content there that I can't show to schoolchildren, and that would be their audience.
