Games are not enough. At least, when it comes to books, people aren't as dismissive of censorhip as they seem to be with videogames.

It's not the woke people who are banning books. By the hundreds.

Also Japan censors games too only they are censoring the violence.

I remember the so called anti censorship people praising Japan when then censored The Last of Us 2.

There was that huge debacle a few years ago when Senran Kagura fans got pissed off that they censored a mode where all you did was grope and rub the little girls in the game.

Then there was some hullabaloo because the Final Fantasy 8 remaster very slightly changed Siren's model so she didn't just have her vagina hanging out.

FWIW, Roald Dahl's work has been getting edited after the fact for 50 years:

I am anti-censorship, and I am anti-banning.

Thing is its not the liberals who are pushing for a majority of censorships and bans. No that's conservatives.

These are revisions, which has always been ongoing with Dahl's books. This isn't censorship.

It seems to me that there are a couple factors at play:
  1. children's fiction specifically gets altered to keep up with the times, because children are thought to be particularly vulnerable to certain content in media. Think of how many Disney movies are based on fairy tales that were a lot more violent in the 18th century.
  2. In an era where every media property is a potential multimedia franchise, you're going to see companies that want to promote older works without signing on to everything contained therein.

How dare they censor shitty racism in children's books meant for children. Roddy McDowell, my favorite childhood author, is rolling in his grave.

Im strongly against censorship of literature. Kids are smart enough that you can explain to them that hey this is how people viewed things back then and they used this kind of language, but we are more evolved now as a culture.
