The Topic
What’s up with censorship in games? Is there actually any censorship in games right now in the first place? Do any of us put any thought into what words mean? We sure don’t, most of the time!
What We Actually Talked About
We talk about what people actually mean when they cry “censorship” and why it is that the most vocal often get upset about certain forms but not others. We look at China, their actual issues with censorship, and how we still tend to over-exaggerate it to excuse not including certain kinds of characters in big budget releases. We talk about which corporate mandates bother us, which don’t, and why that is. We talk about Winnie the Pooh. And also, Donald getting spanked(?)
