Ashley’s Underwear In Resident Evil Is Not Censorship

“Congratulations angry gamers, the word ‘censorship’ has officially lost all meaning. Censorship at its most literal is the suppression of speech, but that definition leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Some cases are very clear – the government telling a newspaper that they can’t report negative stories on said government is obviously censorship. If you were denied access to a television appearance or had a book deal cancelled because you were Black or Jewish, that’s also censorship. However, if you were denied the same opportunities because you’d said hateful things about Black and Jewish people repeatedly, it would still technically be censorship, but most people in society would agree with the decision for the safety and wellbeing of others. What we can say for certain though is that not letting you see Ashley Graham’s panties in Resident Evil 4 Remake is not censorship.”

AND THEN…

“There are forms of self-censorship which are self-serving and dangerous too. Changing the designs to put different clothes on characters in different regions is often labelled censorship, but that’s far less important than editing out LGBT+ content in certain regions, as Riot has done. It’s easier to be an ally in parts of the world where queer people are less persecuted, and to remove this content in territories where queer people have the smallest voice, the least power, and need the most support is a cowardly act of self-censorship that causes real damage. Ashley’s panties do not.”

What the actual eff is this article getting at?
