Let us acknowledge why some view censorship as being unlawful, cowardly, and immoral even. First, there is a strong argument that censorship attacks the Right of Free Speech. There is truth to be found here, for censorship does indeed restrict the press’s ability to publish otherwise subjective articles or newsletters that are almost entirely based off of opinion. Next, some accuse censorship of being fear driven. Perhaps this were true, if we lived in a distant dystopian society far into the future, but we do not. Censorship is not fear driven, censorship exists to protect large masses of people from damaging content. There is no reason to be found for any person or organization to withdrawal information unless that person or persons felt it absolutely necessary. Again, I reiterate, we do not live in a totalitarian society where the government is conspiring against its citizens and must withhold valuable information from them as a result, at least, not in present day. Lastly, we have many multitudes who claim that censorship goes against human rights altogether. Many people believe that censorship takes away a person’s right to read and learn but this is only half the truth. Censorship does indeed take away from a person’s knowledge, but it can usually be justified

Censorship in video games exist to protect gamers from content that is seen as destructive. This goes beyond just plain gore in the sense that censorship can also protect women's rights. For far too long women have been the victims of sexual objectification. Instead of being seen in the light of reality women are portrayed as sexual objects for male audiences. For female gamers this can be unsettling due to the fact that women cannot and do not live up to these standards made by game developers. To counteract this censorship is implemented to help the female audience feel more comfortable with the games they play without having the feeling of being sexual objects.

Censorship protects the younger audience from gore and the female audience from sexual objectification. We need to appeal to everyone in the spectrum so everyone can enjoy video games. To say you want it your way is wrong, to appeal to the masses censorship is a must have in any video game. Being anti-censorship is wrong. You're putting yourself in front of the needs of the community.
