On the other hand changing the visual design of a character isn't "censorship," it's a design choice, and probably a good one given how bad some of them originally are. I hate having a character show up on screen that makes me actively feel shame at playing a game in the first place.
Exactly. The Xenosaga example is actually something that decreases the original piece's artistic value. The other type just reduces the amount of jerkoff material
Hilariously enough, the unwillingness to state this head on just proves the "censorship" right.
Think about it. If the person complaining, who is only going to be watched by a few hundred people, and who only has their own personal and practically nonexistent reputation to protect, if that person is afraid to just come out and say "I like looking at scantily clad ladies while I play games", and has to hide behind the "censorship" nonsense, then clearly the localizers, with the reputation of their entire company, were right to hide those things as well. If an internet troll is unwilling to take that step, why should a multi-billion dollar company?
