I think I read a different article because there are some key factors here:
(not super important but overlooked here) The “horse” is a woman
(definitely important) The scene was only an unfinished scene still being worked out
Valve has given no recourse or appeals process despite good faith efforts
I’m not trying to trash Valve, and FUCK child abuse, but I definitely think Valve should have handled this more fairly. Given the established premise of the game, I don’t think the existence of that scene in an unfinished state was a move consistent with “hey let’s make a pedo game”.

I’m sorry for accidentally misgendering a grown adult who’s still naked with a young girl riding on top. I guess that triggers a different fetish then.

True but they still thought it was a great idea to depict this scene and then only change their minds not because they realized their mistake but because it works better with an adult doing the riding story-wise.

The reviewer asked for a playable copy after being unsure from screenshots and text alone. I think that’s pretty fair.
