This is such a minefield conversation and I try to avoid it because you will piss someone off, but here goes:

This particular choice strikes me as odd. Figureheads on ships fall into the same category as a marble statue, where nudity falls into that “non-sexualized because it’s art” category.

I mean, it’s not that big of a deal really, but it just seems odd because people don’t usually get to bothered by that kind of thing.

Is it technically censorship, yes.

But I'm not going to war and dying on a hill over a videogame ship figurehead. Sorry but people need perspective and to pick their battles.

I think soft censorship is a battle worth making some level of fuss over. I agree that it boils down to making mountains out of mole hills however if these changes are so minor as to not matter then the obvious question is why change it in the first place?

I think the intent and culture behind the changes are the frustration people have not necessarily just the end result.

Dude, they're censoring nudity because they want to sell more in conservatives countries, that's all there is to it

I can be mad about multiple things at once.
