I received 1 response in May from itch.io citing perceived character age in a NSFW game as the reason for the deindexing, and have not received any further response (not even on a different ticket just asking for a higher upload limit). My main issue with this is obviously that, at least in my eyes, this is an unjust deindexing. My characters *are* fairly lithe, but their relative body proportions don't exactly scream underage, and they have mature faces. However, without wanting to argue about my game specifically, lets just say the rule has been applied justly - why are there still NSFW games indexed on the platform with characters that do look like *actual* children (some of these games literally take place in HIGH SCHOOL too)? I did raise these games in my tickets, and they're still indexed while mine isn't which is... interesting.
I wasn't sure if maybe the inconsistent application of the rule was due to my game being a loose parody of an existing game and the rule was applied based on that original game? But even then, there are NSFW parody games (1:1 parodies too, unlike mine which is fairly derivative) on itch.io where the canonical characters are underage in both the original game and their parody game so I'm just not sure why it's only my game that's been deindexed and all my support tickets are being ignored (even ones not related to the deindexing).
