Those who live in a country that does not value freedom know very well that this is a consequence of the majority of the population not being wise, and consequently, due to this lack of wisdom, they tend to defend ideas of control, minimizing the bad consequences of this control.
I live in such a country, so I hope that at least the things of countries that value freedom are preserved and don’t empower corporations to think they have the right to dictate what is right. In the context of a game, anything can be offensive to someone - and therefore wrong - but you have to ask yourself if that’s more important than artistic freedom.
What happens when these topics surface here to the point where they become a repeat pattern:
*People who want authority and a monopoly on ideas tend to ignore basic principles like respect for the consumer/customer and attack those who complain. They don’t care if Amazon lied as long as it keeps giving them the false notion of superiority.
but I warn:
You may think you have more important things in your life to do and so you don’t care about any of that, but this is an option you chose because you haven’t witnessed it enough by being born where freedom abounds. Still, you can easily define that restrictions on content also affect you, most people will consume censored content without knowing that it has been censored, and this in continuity can affect the way they think and develop as a human being. For example, in China, people risk losing social credit to use VPN just to defend their ideas (Chinese communism) via google, youtube, twitter to attack random people… as an army united for the cause, which proves the immense danger of indoctrination via censorship.
We don’t have great solutions to the problems that large corporations like Amazon bring, but we have a minimal notion of what makes us less miserable in this world and objectively we know that censorship is wrong, lying is wrong.
Finally, try to reflect that controlling is never good. What happened when they created Prohibition [dry law] in the US? Al Capone emerged.
