If an artist's vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.
Is it childen in that game?
One character is explicitly underage and sexually assaulted in game. Another is the "she died young and is a ghost so she just LOOKS young but she's actually way older" trope.
I went off on a weird tangent about game preservation after my initial question, but that's what I meant with my "I wonder if the artist's vision has changed as well."
If the artist's views have changed, and they are either supportive or the driver of a change like this, is it neutering their vision? It's certainly straying from the original vision, but I wouldn't call it neutering.
When I think of neutering, or really, betraying an artist's original vision, I think of something more akin to Terminator 2 (James Cameron was pushed to give the movie an open-ended ending), or, more recently, 2003's Dumb & Dumberer.
