the harm comes from censorship not becasue of it.
For those who care we have a petition that's now over 500 signatures strong and growing. and if you care about the game. you can also join our discord.
in taking away the images of police brutality you took away the impact and a hard look and the hard conversation we need to have.
in takign away the umbrella and red armband. which no one in their right mind would confuse with nazis... you neglected that the most "progressive" circls are having some accusations of anti semitism... and attacks and assults on campuses..
there's also no harm shown by images and words.
and i think it's tragic that an artist is trying to fit in to the larger molding of society... because other weirdos can't separate fiction from reality.
i think it's unfortuante and depressing that Miss Cartwright has to hate herself in this way. she says " it was a diffeerent time" as she internalizes the whoopie negativity and disingenuous narratives of the times we live in.
just as she said 2013 was a different time. but maybe it wasn't we just changed and not for the better. and us being social creatures will go with the moral consensus... even if it's totally wrong. we're not more whoopie negative than ever. regretting that which caused no harm.
it's an insidious bit of manipulation. it's part of "year zero" extremist phenomenon. and guilting people.
that same argument can then be applied now. that 2023 was a different time when you censored the game. it's 2024. we're now smarter and wiser that the censorship was totally wrong in principle and it was always wrong.
we're seeing this with the censorship of books.

we have the head of the FAIR foundation and THE FIRE speak out against such things.

another similar controversy was here
we see this happen in toy story two on disney plus. even a goofy movie and Lilo and stich (and i'm not talking about just the original changes in the orignal theatre release)
the forbiden fruits phenomenon. the weimar fallacy. the censorship HELPED and HELPS NOW. the hate groups.
people are getting more intrested in what is censored. surely you haven't forgotten what it's like to be a kid and then wanting things that challange.. and so the censorhsip is PREVENTING NEW COMMERS COMING IN TO THE GAME AS WELL AS ALIENATING THE OG.
i've had to write about this. so please reconsider.

Why ‘sensitivity readers’ are bad for free speech, art, and culture
The publishing industry’s increasing appetite for “sensitivity readings” is terrible for free expression in the arts and our discourse.

LISA controversy highlights non-transparency and arbitrariness of platforms policing video game content
As with any other art form, the video game industry is no stranger to demands for censorship. But it seems current calls are coming from inside the house.
