My understanding is that the system will purge unused images eventually. Just ignore it.

Thank you. This should bury the offensive software in the depths of All The Tropes for good measure.

So, what on earth is this about?

From the image name... Demonophobia, which seems to be "A Ryona NSFW game", given what it says on Main.Demonophobia...

Well jamespolk, since TV Tropes abides by the Posse for the Prevention of Pedophilia and Pure Porn policy, such offensive content such as that shown in Demonophobia is not (or rather, no longer) allowed on this site.

I noticed this picture was still available and wished to have it purged, like it should have been about 3 years prior.

^ If it is, I find it suspicious that Demonophobia has been added to Horrible.Video Game Generations Seventh Onwards around the same time as this ATT thread's creation. Is that example acceptable? It seems to me that it focuses way too much on the game's disturbing content (which breaks the "being offensive is not enough" rule) and very little on the gameplay. Not to mention that if it's a flash game, it should go on Horrible.Video Games Other in the Web Games section, if it's even okay to mention it anywhere.

I believe a removed work can still be cited as an example despite not being allowed a work page, and Horrible is one place the moderators won't mind seeing it. However, the example doesn't look right; it describes why it is offensive, but even pedophiliac torture-porn has its niche. It seems to have its own tiny fandom. (Also, the entry confuses "premise" with "appeal".) I believe it doesn't mention gameplay because it's not the point of the game.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

What are you talking about? I searched and I did not find the game on that link.

Judging from the history it was added and then deleted about 30 minutes later by the exact same editor, which is... kinda weird.

In fact I'm going to go ahead and bring this whole thread to the attention of the P5, as it's giving me very weird vibes.

There's nothing terribly offensive about the image itself, and the ironic part is that if there is a purge script running for old images, linking it in an ATT post would prevent that from happening. So GG OP. Locking this.
