Another weekend, another new episode of Splash Damage appears. On tap this week, per the original post from half-KIA on Reddit:
Happy Mag published an article asking if Grand Theft Auto V’s “harmful” depictions of trans people should be retroactively censored. We dive into why censorship is never permissible along with China’s endless quest to censor games, an actor complaining the Super Mario Bros. voice actors are too white, Bungie’s hilarious efforts at “diversity and inclusion,” and more.
You can find this episode on your favorite podcasting app or here. As always, thank you for listening!

TBF, if a new game is pre-censored before release, and it isn't a port of something from another country where we could cross-compare the differences, chances are good we won't hear about it unless a dev blows the whistle on it. But yes, you're right - censorship, in general, is never a good thing.
