This isn't censorship. It's a good decision to de-sexualize a child character.

Regardless of whether you agree with it or not it's still censorship. That much is a fact.

No, because Nintendo is not being censored by anyone.  They have made a creative decision to add clothes to a minor to improve their product.  No one made them do it, so they have not been censored in any way.

They were censored by themselves.

Doesn't matter whether they chose to do it themselves or were forced to do it. It's still censorship.

This is not censoreship, this is localization. This is not ESRB deciding they can't put this in, or Germany deciding they can't put this in. This is Nintendo's team who makes changes in order to make the game marketable in other markets; including translation, rewrites, and changes in content. It is not censoreship just because the localization team decided to remove something that Europeans would find inappropriate, it is making the game more marketable in Europe, because if they put stuff like that in the game, it will hurt its sales - and it is the localization team's job to make sure the game sells well in other markets.

This was the correct call by localization. If you are against it, provide a good argument as to why you think a child should have this sexualizing outfit, and saying "I don't like censoreship" is both a fallacious and a strawman argument.
