I'm not saying this isn't censorship, I'm just saying that it's not "due to western pressure". It's because SE thinks it's a smart thing to do financially.

But the reason why it's being done is to avoid controversy. Changing this type of thing has no positive impact on sales, especially with the scathing commentary SE got from their Japanese fans.

If  SE didn't believe it would affect their bottom line, they wouldn't have done it. Especially not if they believed censoring it would impact their bottom line negatively.
