Censorship annoys me. I'd like to play games as the developers originally designed them to be, and I don't like being told what is and isn't suitable for me. Plus I don't like having something that isn't as good as a version released elsewhere.
Release face rubbing Nintendo! I wanna rub the faces of ALL the characters!!

Food for thought. Part of the reason I believe that the Australian government is so trigger happy with game censorship is because of difference between US and Australian culture. Games are made for the US market. So when yet another a game comes out that's hyper violent or has heavy drug use? The US bureaucrats don't really worry about that too much. Australian regulators on the other hand freak out.
If it was the other way around I'd imagine that the US would have gone down our path a bit more. If more games had excessive language, nudity and sex? The Australian regulators would probably let that slide a bit more. But there'd be outrage in the US. Publishers making sure that the US doesn't freak out? If you ask me they're doing you a favour.
I don't know about that. Australia refused classification to MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death recently because you could use the Vita's touchscreen to make their breasts move. Even the censors in the U.S. only slapped it with a T rating.
You know another game that launched in the U.S. but was effectively banned in Australia? Valkyrie Drive. Apparently because the game "uses sexuality as an incentive and reward."
Australia is becoming a nightmare example of what happens when you let censors get away with whatever they want. Over 200 games have been banned in Australia since 2015.
....Anyways I never expected that I would use Refresh, so glad I don't have any humanoid Pokemon. >.<
