I thought they got rid of any game content policies a couple years ago. The line was, "everything is allowed except malware and obvious trolling".

Their actual content policies are described on the SteamWorks page and they include quite a lot more exceptions than malware and trolling:

Visual novels and similar games with young (looking) characters tend to get rejected for sexualizing those characters (rule 8). But there are also plenty of examples of tame games getting rejected, while similar but much more risque games were permitted, so it's hard to figure out exactly what Valve objects to.

If that's their policy, they genuinely make zero effort to follow it.
