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.

This kind of reply should be a bannable offense. It's downright insulting not only to the poster but to every reader to reply in this fashion to a well written argument in a perfectly fine discussion. Not to mention it makes you look incredibly stupid.

Jumpin's post doesn't even deserve a response. He is insane enough to suggest that removing and changing content for fear of backlash or moral high ground isn't censoring, and then calling anyone who is against censorship a pedophile. Yeah, some great stuff. Really intellectually stimulating.
Self-censorship has been a thing for generations, and whether you think they should do it or not. To argue it's not censorship is laughable and worth a facepalm.
