Damn ai sure is useful. That said, most of this are actually not specifically about artistic freedom but going against established norm, anti-religion or criticizing an authoritarian state. Questioning the dear leader? To the gallows. Being a homosexual? To the gallows. Asking why can't have big booty statues like the ancient Greeks did? Believe it or not to the gallows with you. But I'll concede what they fought for is something we take for granted in the modern age. I can freely declare I'm agnostic without getting targeted by a religious inquisition not because some guy asked why they couldn't write smut but because people fought against religious persecution.
I got more invested in this argument than I would like. As long as what you're fighting for is the freedom of expression and not some weird shit, then sure you'd have my support.
Honestly banning art directly has never been a popular regime since people really enjoy art. But banning art you don't like has. Every seriously tyrannical regime has done it since time immoral and the only reason you can't do so in America is because of all the people who have died standing up for what they thought is right (and the ideology those people's deaths helped inspire.) Even something as silly as starmaker story would get you hanged in a place like Iran. That seems like an overblown and seriously ridiculous notion to first world citizens but it's very possible in places without explicit freedom of artistic expression.
You couldn't say you have freedom of speech if your senator could cut your tongue off if you said something bad about him right? That's basically what artistic freedom is. We could easily backslide right back to 50 years ago where we deplatform and harass someone to death because their game was too sexually explicit or criticized the government.
I have no intention of collecting attention or validation, I don't care if people make me a martyr, a hero, a villain, or rightly continuing thinking of me as a nobody. I wasn't born into this world desperately clinging to anyone but my mother and my father. I was simply naked cold and probably quite miserable after someone smacked me on the ass.
If someone told me they would shoot me if I didn't let them censor this game or any other game I would 100% be a bitch and just let it go. But I'm not going to let it get to that point, so I say something while i still can say it comfortably.
