The world getting increasingly moralistic and neurotic.

ps: Watched the trailer, read a bit, it seems like the game is very horror-oriented, not sure if the message is dehumanization or what, but looked like a great opportunity to show parents teaching fucked up morals to children and perpetuating a system of oppression was prevented because moralists see nudity and think it can only represent sex - meanwhile, by the screenshots, it represents dehumanization.
How the American WASP-culture addiction to guilt and shame came to control the world after the popularization of internet is quite sad.

Except in the review build submitted to Valve there was a young child riding that naked man.

That's no exception at all. "moralists see nudity and think it can only represent sex" clearly defines it.

"yes yes, a young girl asks to and then rides a naked man. I don't understand why anyone would hear that sentence and immediately assume it was something sexual."

On another note, I remember some time ago reading a forum where people were discussing how to explain to their children that scene from My Neighbor Totoro where the father takes a bath with the daughters, and how that scene wasn’t appropriate for children or something like that… culture shock (for me).

If pony play fetishism is remotely equivalent in your mind then you are unable to have this conversation and should go away

Did you watch the game trailer? Are you really saying this is pony play fetishism? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYewjNYxV-8
The equivalent here is the idea that something became wrong because it's "young child" and "naked man". It's literally the same discussion I saw in that forum about My Neighbor Totoro, because, again: moralists see nudity and think it can only represent sex

(I'd add that if you believe abuse, torture, slavery, possibly racism, and suicide - the things on the trailer - are remotely equivalent in your mind to some fetish consenting adults participate for fun, then you are the one unable to have this conversation)
