As I mentioned, itch.io did reply to my very first ticket, and the exact text was: "You would need to remove content depicting minors or minor presenting characters in sexual situations in order for us to be able to relist your page." but yes, the game is *also* quarantined, and the quarantine happened a while after the deindexing (hitting me while I'm down :D)
I don't mean to sling mud on other games, which is why I haven't linked them here, but I just wanted to point out that the rules are being applied inconsistently where my game has been delisted for this reason whereas other games - that are in actual violation of the rules - remain listed.
There are animations in the game, though, yes the images probably could be compressed further with a lower quality - but I'm paranoid about doing that when phones and PCs aren't exactly hurting for space so I'd prefer to just have a larger file size than reduce image quality.

I did raise these games in my tickets
You did do so.

Do not waste people's space to have uncompressed ai images. Especially not with that paranoia reason. You are a developer, you should have the skills to learn about how this works instead of being afraid of it . There is no information worth keeping in such images. It is not pixel art. They were generated by an algorithm. They will compress very good without visible quality loss. Even if you see some pixels change, that's the dithering the ai put in there to have it look a certain shade. The compression will keep the shade, but the individual pixels are not important.
