But I doubt Sony is censoring Capcom especially because other platforms have this censorship. Capcom is too big for Sony to pressure or even for them to want to attempt it.

No it's not. If they start making small devs censor their games but the big ones stay untouched, it could probably lead to either heavy controvery or lawsuits. The thing is, Capcom as a publisher probably doesn't mind the censorship, so it goes along with it. Selling their game is the number 1 priority (after all, without sales, there is no money by microtransactions). The fact that Sony asks for censorship of this kind in an 18+ game is worrying.

But Sony isn't the one who censored this game ... 

I mean, I *could* see a future where Sony tries enforcing it on larger publishers and I actually think that may happen but it would take a long time to get to that and honestly it doesn't seem like something that's going to be happening anytime soon. I'm also not sure how it would lead to lawsuits ... sounds like a huge stretch to me, the little guys wouldn't try to take Sony to task especially because most of these companies are based in Japan. 

It's worrying but I honestly don't think the big games are going to face this scrutiny right now, it's the little projects which are argued to be less "tasteful".
