How do I explain THAT to my niece? (lemmy.world)

Hello dear know-it-all.

How do I explain THIS to my niece?

It all started with a cute emoticon she really wanted to have as an avatar for her chat program but couldn't find a way to use it. Well, it was really tricky to extract it from her chat software for use as an avatar.

You can find it under Rina gives Love and the animation only works as a link.

Therefore I just searched for it using a screenshot. Found a Steam ID. It is an animated Steam avatar from a game with Steam ID 1750200 and the avatar is called "Rina gives Love". Fitting. So I searched for it on Steam... BLOCKED! This site is not available in your country. VPN is for suckers. SSH-SOCKS-Tunnel to my Coloserver in the USA and tried again.

What. The. Fuck.

Game is called "Sex and the Furry Titty 2: Sins of the City".

I was on the floor laughing for a minute. A click into the screenshots confirmed that you see lots of hairy critters having sex. On Steam. I do a double facepalm and laugh for another two minutes. So now my questions, dear know-it-alls:

How do I explain to my twelve-year-old niece that her favorite avatar comes from a pornographic game with animals?
Is it true that hydrochloric acid can be injected into the brain through a cannula to make things permanently unseen?

Respectfully, a slightly befuddled spectacle.

PS1, the Avatar is really cute animated…

PS2, I do not really intend to explain it to her. I’ll give her some technobabble (Copyright, DRM, Flux-Compensator, Compability) and be done with it. Though I would be really interested how others would explain that.

If it's the image at the bottom of the post, its tame as Steam avatars go. I'd explain that it's associated with some notions and run against steam moderation.

As a note, some of my avatars featuring naked anatomically correct men or women (variations of Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man) have never been flagged as inappropriate.

I never doubted that the Avatar/Sticker was cute and harmless. It was the game it came from. Shit, I am getting old. I can remember when a poster of Madonna with deep cleavage was considered "risky". Well, the time before the internet...
