Yeah, I don't really like censorship. We're very lucky that it basically doesn't happen with games in the west.

As Skyblade says; a company choosing to change a product because they fear a backlash is not censorship. Agree or disagree with criticism of making all your characters sex objects, but at the end of the day all it is is criticism. Companies are free to ignore it if they so choose.

The closest thing we do generally get to censorship is companies such as Valve, Sony and Microsoft not allowing certain games onto their platform. Nekopara, for example, couldn't get on Steam unless it toned down on the gratuitous catgirl sex scenes. That's still not quite censorship, as a private business such as Valve are well within their rights to have whatever requirements they like for software on their platform, and you're welcome to buy the uncensored version from other outlets where those requirements are not in place.
