Freedom of speech is freedom from government persecution
Fuck no. Absolutely not. Freedom of speech is a principle you choose to live by or not. A weapon against government persecution is only one important reason.
I don't think you fully get where the term comes from.
But if you think an inclusion of a bit of graffiti that isn't integral to the game , and was more than likely a bit of graphic that they just threw up on a wall without thinking about it, is some principle to live or die on, you've gotta sort out your priorities
The specific term, freedom of speech, is from the first amendment, specifically written by the government, and that's what I thought was being referenced.
People not liking what is on the screen isn't a violation of human rights.
The First Amendment, like all of the amendments, are not in and of themselves human rights. They are laws that are intended to protect human rights. This isn't a complicated concept unless you're one of those absolute fucking morons that believes human rights are something granted to you by a government. You are not "granted" human rights. You innately have them. Whether they are infringed upon is what is different.
You not understanding this fundamental truth doesn't change that it's censorship. You might think it's minor. You might think it's insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But there is no such thing as just "a little" infringement. Either a human right is infringed upon, or it's not infringed upon. This is one of the few instances where a situation is a dichotomy with no shades of grey. There's either infringement or there's not infringement. Where you might draw the line at what you deem is "acceptable" infringement is irrelevant. But it's still infringement.

I was only correcting your false claim. My comment has nothing to do with this game or topic.

No, it's pretty clear that you don't understand that human rights are not privileges granted to you through the government. That's statist rhetoric.
