Here are my 2 cents on the subject: Why are videogame companies treating us, adults- like children? If people can't decide what type of content they can handle then maybe we shouldn't be able to vote. Just sayin'.

I mean, it's like these people don't understand that if your buying games from japan (or any other foreing country), then maybe, JUST MAYBE,  you might be looking for stuff from said culture. In fact, I think this whole "Culturalization/Culturally acceptable" stuff is just cultural intolerance.

Why can't we celebrate diversity - the true diversity of having a global market with works of art from all around the world?

This legit pisses me off. The game he showed the most when talking about censorship was an Atlus title that is rated M, and yet neither version of the game is as dark as say, Silent Hill 2 was back in the day. That said, the game is rated M, so anything that can happen in games where adult situations are acceptable, should happen without interruption of any kind. It's not like showing a little more skin is somehow going to take away from a game or devalue it's rating turning it into an AO title. On the one hand, there is some place for cultural changes, but even those have flaws. If Bravely Default had been released in the West without changing the characters ages, the outrage would have probably prevented most retailers from carrying it for fear of backlash. That said why not make everyone 18 to 20, since it's pretty much impossible to tell ages with that style of animation, and not change the more revealing outfits? Also, like you said, why not just accept that some cultures are different than yours and play the games as they are meant to be played, not as they are culturally appropriate. This should be less of a problem for Japanese games, because most of the gaming community are also fans of anime and other Japanese products and therefore not only enjoy the cultural difference, but expect it because they've been engaging in from Japan without the censorship for years. It boggles the mind why we are so willing to change things that are so small only to appeal to a very small audience who is not in range of the target demographic.
