sanscript: Imagine someone creating Carmageddon today..
A few mentally sick people are trying very hard to sound like they need to be heard and acknowledged to the point where they see themselves entitled to tell developers and artists to censor their own games (creative art).
I recently came over a video about a developer who got death threats for not caving in to this sick minority, and I applaud them for standing up to such neo-liberal fascism. These are the same people who want trigger warnings everywhere and wants to impose these "pronounces" on others.

In Cyberpunk 2077 you can't shoot children or use drugs in a big way (among other things), but today's games go far beyond that - they are so limited and so censored they are practically dumbed down to the point it's made for children (because violence is ok but nudity and drugs is down-right damaging for a mature person). Even the story in many modern games are like that where so-called mature themes are watered down..
“Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.”
In the context of a game world that makes you the player in a world where you're supposed to affect the world, it seems silly to not being able to shoot children, use different drugs, run over people or having nudity just because it might offend someone that won't play the game.
Fully agree, wish other devs/publishers would follow this example. A few mentally sick people are trying very hard to sound like they need to be heard and acknowledged to the point where they see themselves entitled to tell developers and artists to censor their own games (creative art).

Those crazies can't be satisfied anyway. They will always will want more and if you see someone giving in they will come back for more.
Imho everything should be allowed, we are adults, let us decide if we want the product or not.
