IMPORTANT! Gamejolt Administration Decided to Ban all Adult Content Including our Game

Posted by DicPicStudio - January 6th, 2022

We’re deeply shocked and disappointed by the decision of Gamejolt administration to take down all adult content from their site, including our game.


For many people, pornography is a need, as not everyone for their reasons can get enough satisfaction from sex in real life. The administration, by blindly obeying dogmatic stereotypes, is going to damage thousands of their userswhile doing better for none.


Another witch-hunt of fighting adult content, hoping to make a better public image, or whatever reason they have in minds, is just ridiculous. The only public image Gamejolt will get by doing so is showing great disrespect to the creators who for free filled with content this site and literally made it from nothing, and to their users who followed and paid for hundreds of adult gameson the site. How other creators can count on the goodwill of their platform that without notice and discussion takes the whole section down?


Especially we’re outraged with the phrase “normalizes the sexual acts”. WTF? Is sex something not normal? Even more disgusting is the fact they put the sexual act and sexual violence after a comma like it’s the same thing.

We’re asking our fellow followers as well as each fan of adult games to write an email to the Gamejolt administration (contact@gamejolt.com) telling what you think about their actions. You can do it on Twitter as well - we believe that after hearing the opinions of their users they’ll understand their mistake.



From our side, we can assure you that we’ll keep fighting against the discrimination of adult content and its users by dogmatic sectarians who, led by their sick understanding of justice keep fighting for nothing right and damage to thousands of people who aren’t to blame for anything wrong - except enjoying the God-given gift of sex and love.


Sex is the origin of any life, and therefore it is the life itself. The lack of sexual satisfaction leads only to neurosis and, therefore, tension and hatred in society. Ban of the adult content - literally ban of the sex satisfaction, will only harm everyone. We honestly hope that the Gamejolt administration will again overthink what they’re doing, how much damage they’re causing to people while doing nothing good for anyone, and will cancel this discriminative and unfair decision.

The only thing I can say is I am sorry to hear about this and you could try other platforms. Good luck and hope to see more of your work in the future.

not sure if this is still relevant, but really sorry to hear that.
assuming it remains relevant, added to the avoid/boycott list
been following your game for a while, so i can even claim personal offense to gamejolt's decision. [besides wanting to dab at creating such content myself, someday]

most unfortunate this trend continues and anyone who thinks "oh, but it's just one site, move" is a valid response/solution, then they don't understand how blanket censorship/discrimination/persecution actually works. what's to say itch won't do this? or steam? how about someone tries to ban it under federal law? it IS a concentrated effort. it may just seem a "marketing decision" looking at just the corporation, but besides the individual motives of the executives [all of which should be questioned] , there's those out there putting pressure on these companies because they don't like it or "god condemns this" , whatever shit they can think of.

also, taking-down specific major hubs of communication/distribution/gathering/etc... is actually a great way to carry-out a witch-hunt as this. the fewer safe havens you have, the harder your life/lifestyle becomes to sustain. in the case of artists and gamedevs, it is important to have widespread distribution/promotion of your works. not sure in the grand scheme of things the size of gamejolt, but losing any of the major hubs is a major blow to an artist or gamedev. and adult creators have absolutely lost or been locked-out of multiple major hubs that no doubt has impacted their ability to survive and thrive. [and ofc, it's damaged sex-positive communities.] you can't run and hide forever. you'll eventually become cornered or buried in obscurity. there's a reason SOME people don't like being de-platformed from say, Twitter? same logic. it's a major hub, being forced off that one site cuts you off from a not insignificant part of the internet.

arguing also that sexual content is harmful to the brands of kongregate, armorgames, or fandom is also just absurd. i'd say it's opposite and their decision to disallow it drove a not insignificant amount of traffic, and thus business, ad revenue, away from their sites entirely. also, kong clearly doesn't really care about their brand, seeing how they've done about everything they can to make EVERYONE leave the site. adult content is the least of their concerns, their leadership is incompetent, which is putting it mildly. they seem to be depending now on some deals with major brands, their complete death or the loss of their independence as a company looms near.
also, nintendo realized back in the 90s they needed content for a more mature audience on their systems. disney has bought-out brands with more mature audiences/themes, attempting to kid-ify them has been quite harmful to their brand, ironic! tumblr was in jeopardy after they banned adult content. couldn't even find anyone to buy them. they now sit in relative obscurity, so they made a great decision for their brand, didn't they? there's a phrase, "sex sells". companies that care to grow their brand know this. wouldn't see so many sexualized mobile game ads on google and youtube if they didn't.
