For example, a game gets an update that censors a sexy female character. People complain to the devs and then a short time later, they roll back the update and restore the character to how she was before. Have there been any examples of devs actually listening to people's complaints and undoing woke shit?

The following is not undoing woke shit and not censorship of existing characters, however I feel it bears mentioning.
Manjuu (AzurLane devs) got their asses slapped this past week for revealing the final shipgirl (HMS Anson) from a class of battleships (KGV-class) that had already been implemented in the game for several years. A loli that didn't appear related to her sisters at all or fit in with the theme of the class. Seems that the devs were actually serious about this decision and it wasn't a mistake or a pre-April Fool's joke. The reveal got enough pushback that she was removed from the event update prior to it going live today.
These are Chinese/Shanghai devs, but this is evidence that the fanbase screaming across multiple regions does actually work for gacha games at least. Because money is king to those types of games.
I don’t think I’ll be celebrating this one.
Oh I'm not celebrating this victory either. The lolis have their place with certain ship types (submarines and maybe destroyers) but not battleships/dreadnoughts
Did I misunderstand? It seems they were going to release her as a loli but stopped due to pushback? So isn't that a win?
Personally I'm not anti loli but as someone who played a lot of Kancolle back in the day, they are more suited for smaller ships like destroyers as you said. And gotta make her match her sisters in her class somehow.
I got my words jumbled up. It's a win in the sense that Manjuu buckled under pressure from fans/players demonstrating that they can push back against game devs.
It's just displeasing that with all the lolis already in the game and the fact Manjuu got away with the Nagato-class and other BBs as lolis, it took players this long to cause a major stink. Most used to not care about inconsistency among classes, or ripoffs, but a completely different body figure was enough.
