I think the complaint of "censorship" might have some basis if the reason why the company changed the character models is to comply with obscenity laws in the most conservative country in which that particular game will be distributed. There is a case to be made that in a world where creators sell their content globally, conservative regions with a lot of potential customers might influence content that ends up also being sold in liberal regions. This might not be censorship, exactly, but it is an annoying side-effect of a globalized information economy. Instead of the world opening up and becoming more liberal, it might actually end up becoming more conservative, if transnational corporations decide that catering to the lowest common denominator is a more profitable route. I suppose the workaround for consumers is the same as it is for movies - to avoid the content designed to appeal to the broadest audience, and seek out indie creators who are still willing to cater to a more local or specialized audience. In the mean time, I do think it's fair for consumers to advocate for generally more liberal themes in games, although I'm not sure the sexiness of an outfit is really the hill to die on.
