I think most of us know by now that when a Japanese title showcases sexual themes, those themes usually get censored when it comes abroad.  Well, I just came across an article on how RE7's gore was toned down for the Japanese audience.  And before anyone starts spliting hair, yes, Capcom is a Japanese company.  But it's more evident that gore and violence are more acceptable here in the west while open sexuality is more acceptable in Japan.  Here is the RE7 article with video, and yes, there are spoliers.

Like other games, Capcom's new horror title Resident Evil 7 had its blood and gore toned down for Japan. Some of this was spotlighted in a new video from Censored Gaming, which begins by comparing a scene involving the poor deputy David Anderson. This post contains some Resident Evil 7 story spoilers.

As spotted and reported on by Kotaku, in the US version, he's murdered with a shovel, with his head put into a refrigerator for the player to discover. In Japan, Anderson's head stays attached to his body during the shovel attack and all the player sees is a picture of Anderson in the refrigerator. Later in the story, in the US edition, the player must reach their hand inside Anderson's body through the neck to retrieve a key in his stomach. In Japan, the player walks up to Anderson's corpse and the key is sitting in plain sight. Watch the video to see the differences for yourself.

westerners (american) can't handle camel toe... but sure love bloody toes...

I said this before Japan can censors as much as the west at times in past censorship threads. That is why you cannot really say Japan is so artistic friendly compared to the west, when both censor different things.

In my country sex related things don't get censored very often (actually, there isn't much censor in general), but we usually get the American game so games with sexual themes usually stay censored.

I have an almost 6 year old, and she watches Arrow.  It all depends.

In regards to Arrow, we're watching with her for parential guidence purposes while also trying to explain more adult themes such as drug abuse and court hearings within the episodes. So she getting pretty adjusted with it among other things.  But the one thing she always turns away from was seeing the skeletal remains of the Japanese soldiers back on the island.  But I always tell her that a lot of this stuff isn't real, and the actors are real people just like us.  She had a blast meeting David Ramsey:

More in regards to gaming, she's normally watches me play the Hyperdimension Neptunia series.  In fact, she'd contemplated having a Neptunia themed birthday party but specifically requested that the characted NOT be shown in their HDD form when it come to the decorations.  I found it hilarious.

In my opinion, RE7 fails on a very basic level to be either dark or scary beyond the initial encounter, finding a head in the fridge or a photo, finding a key down a throat or on a gourney, don't change that fact at all.
The moment the first encounter with Jack is over, the game stops being horror and takes on a near comical path of adult dodgeball, puzzles are shit and easy, encounters are nothing but a chore, enemies are not scary and their placement and pattern predictable and boring, the storyline is haphazard and thin, the plot is retarded and the voice acting for the main character sounds like they paid someone on fiverr to do it over the phone.

I had great hopes after the demo, great hopes that were shat all over by an ultimately shit release.

I chose sex as the thing that there should be less censoring of. But in Japan's case, I think they should dial up sex censorhip a bit; some of their media look borderline pedophilic.

That has relaxed quite a bit. Games that would've never seen the light of day on store shelves a few years ago are now getting their 18 rating for the uncut version with ease. (Mortal Kombat X, Gears of War (all of them), Dead Rising 4 etc.)
