Most the time it's not censorship,it's localization. People scream a fit these days. When I was growing up this happened all the time without us knowing and we still loved our games. Also the people typically complaining never planned to buy it. Just trolls.

So what you are saying is a country like China doesn't censor anything they just localize it?

If something is changed because there is fear that there will be backlash, it is censorship.

I don't buy games that are censored in ways that I find ridiculous.  For example, Bravely Second.  I will play it by renting via Gamefly, but the game company isn't getting my money.  Best way to send my message and still play the games I want.

This is one dumb post. You don't know the difference and it's baffling.  Your China example is beyond stupid and not even comparable to video games. No Japan and USA have different mindset in many cultural things. What might accepted ine one place may not be accepted in another. Could also affect ratings in one region or another that another would not be affected. Sony changed in Grandia alcohol to coffee this would have affected the ESRB. Localization is not always in games either,it can be hardware changes. In Japan O & X are reversed. When we play a PS controller we use X to confirm something and O to back out. Japan X means No or Cross. So O is confirm and X is back or no. There are something people in the US would not get or not like that are changed. Censorship is removing the buttslap in SFV but it doesn't affect the gameplay so unless you are a horny 13 year old. Why care? Real censorship is what Fox Kids did to One Piece. It adds nothing. Bravely games suck anyway. You sound petty and spoiled. Get over it.
