You silly English people have no idea what censorship is. Censorship is when something is blocked by a government for being obscene. This is localization, or the editing of a game to make it better appeal to the foreign target audience. |
I feel like I have the same argument with people who believe that censorship is only censorship when legally mandated. Self-censorship is an actual thing (see Cambridge Dictionary definition here) and it's done out of fear of backlash from a market or group. NOA/NOE believes that the outfit could possibly offend Western markets, so they remove it and put something else in. It's a largely meaningless change, but it's still censorship. That's kinda why it boggles the mind more as there's no reason to edit it.
