each person is entitled to their own opinion and views on different things thats what makes us human, censorship is a media and film and now a videogame thing, theres been many arguements in history over what is acceptal and what is not, in the movie by alfred hitchcock psycho the showing of a toilet in the bathroom had never been done before because it was a tabboo and the image was considered offensive to some, in modern cinema and gaming we have very graphic depictions of blood gore s3x, which some say has desenstised us against these images. in a physical respect nudity in public has always been a no no and always pretty much for the childrens sake to preserve their innocents, i can understand why some could find problems with wes having an upside down flag as his avatar as americans are very proud of their hertiage and flag, and what it stands, i think wes avatar is a statement not an attack, but u cant please all the people all the time! im just trying to encourage discussion of censorship because its a subject i feel strongly about.
