Censorship in video games was rife in the 80s and 90s, then it settled down a bit, and now it's in full blown overdrive. We have people wanting things censored when they themselves have admitted to never even going to purchase or engage with them in the first place.

The fake outrage culture we have now is ruining and has ruined my only real hobby.

ShinP based his tweet on a quote from an article authored by Navi-kun, who seems to have misinterpreted the original press release, at NintendoSoup, which ShinP acknowledges in the comments:

Billy D, at One Angry Gamer, clarifies the misinterpretation:

I did not realize how widespread this has become. How unfortunate.

Sounds like the game developers are deathly afraid of stirring the pot. Which is ironic, because the people who are likely to get worked up about it are not their customer base.
