Japanese people It seems always had this thing with western media that they always censored extreme things in western games if they are been confirmed for release for JAP. Same goes with other western games for Japan, i had friend who was in JAP, and he cursed on censorship what been in 2011 game what been in JP release, it been newnest DX game that he cursed minor censorship on some aspects, even one of cutscenes was edited. I really hate censorship so mine only luck is that I live in country that allows for 18+ games to surface, worse should be if gov. started to ban it.

It's not as simple as that.
We say the tenticle thing and uber violent anime. However tenticles are pornography accesible only to adults and uber violent anime only through cable channels same as american violent shows. Wih a title like DmC, geared for a younger audience yet with an M rating been a conradiction I can see why censours take action rahter than leavng it to parents who might or might not look into the game before letting the children get their hands on it.
As crazy as Japanese midia can get they are also a bunch of prunes. I don't douth that this might also have to do with the source of the game, with Japan been notoriusly xenophobic, but I don't discount the content's fault ether.

The great pretender.
Censorship is wrong either way.
It's not right of the state or any governing body to remove to right of expression from the artist. The task of censorship is the responsibility of the home. Each of us is born with the right to choose for ourselves that which we, or our family should be exposed to. Those who forfeit this right to choose to the state forfeit freedom. The parent unable to control or manage the child's exposure to harmful stimuli within the home is unfit to raise a child. Simple as that.
That's why I'm damn glad to be an American.

None of i matters, really, it's the Japanese who are getting the censored version, not us. Plus the PS3 isn't region locked so anyone can get the american version if they also censor in europe and australia.
I gatta say, I'm more concern to think that if what is censored is going to be unesential aspects of the game then they were there just for the sake of obsinity and had no reason for precence but shock value. I think I'd find that more vexing than censorship itself.
Have you ever seen nudity or real profanity on a basic service channel like fox or PBS? In that case I douth ether goverment or citizen would take quietly.
PS: I've only seen nudity and profanity on a public station once and it was for a special presentation of Schindler's List.

We have censorship here in the US. This isn't a state of absolute freedom by any extent, and even artistic expression isn't without censorship. The worst part is that it's not from the goverment but from outraged parents most of the time.

Censorship in a public arena is necessary. That's understood. I mean, for a product or art itself in it's original format to be censored is unconstitutional. The films and works are censored for specific public display. Not the original work itself. It can be created and then purchased, uncensored, in it's original format of one so desires. It's given a proper rating and whatever merchant wishes to, may sell it.

The thing is: Do we know how game distribution works in Japan? Here if you want an M title you need a parent how does it work in Japan. Different countries are like other worlds, altogether, take it from an imigrant. If Mexican publishers thought that censorship was nessesary it's because age laws are only inforced on a fraction of the tenacity that they are in the US. It's up to the guy at the register to inforce it most of the time and if he doesn't there won't be a penalty. It might be a similar situation in Japan

I know, it just that... it's not right.

Well...
As and artist I agree but as someone who tents to be overprotective of their child I am inclined to see the point of censorship.
I once saw a book on the library on art that was unpopular and had been censored. A lot of it involved nudity of both genders and it wasn't magazine type nudity. It was very realistic and it was a really uncomfortable subject matter, but I was studing art and I'd seen enough nudity on anathomy classes to not be grossed out. However it got me thinking that most people would simply brush it off as pornography and not see the artistic merit of it... It'll be a long uphill battle for us to accept ourselves as ugly monkeys with cloths, and even longer to let our children see that there is no shame in that.

I'm also an artist but I only believe in censorship so far as protecting children from content they have yet to understand, and when I say protect - I mean for that burden and responsibility to fall on parents, not for some kind of censor/banfest. Adults, IMO, shouldn't have to be protected, and tbh, I never thought this game was supposed to be for kids (it was after all, birthed from Resident Evil, which once upon a time definitely was not 'for kids'). Now, however, it appears to be aiming for some kind of late teen demographic. Like everything. I thought that over time people would come to understand video games can seriously be for adults too, but games also appear to suffer from the Hollywood syndrome of trying to cater to the lowest common denominator. For the $$$.
It is utterly frustrating to see society - or many societies globally - that think the way forward is to take a step back and censor. You only need to protect adult people from things when you don't want them to think for themselves or don't trust them to, or else are so controlling you believe you know better than they do what they should and shouldn't see... or that you have failed to create a population of rational adults. I understand the concept of the 'responsibility' of the artist, who may influence others... but in an ideal world, everyone should generally be able to appreciate art for what it is without freaking out or doing something dumb. That's the way 'forward' IMO - relying on 'moral' censorship and bannage to 'guide' people is the way back to the dark ages. People should really be raised to be rational enough to guide themselves.

If only their parents would step in and keep them from buying games that they aren't mature enough to play.

Well this not worked in mine family sadly. I been allowed to play Doom on 6 years old, next was on 13 two mature games like Quake III, Unreal and even first Deus Ex but that was on mine IT lessons as our teachers allowed us to play, and more bloody games followed up when I getted next years of life :/

Well it's not always the answer. Because I myself played m-rated games when I was not allowed as well. But kids now-a-days do not have the maturity to play those type of games. This can be proven by playing any online game with a mic. All the kids on there curse and insult people and that's about all they do.
