Even if it is fiction, everything conveys a message. If the message being conveyed is that one can obtain pleasure from hurting others without their consent and no one censors it, what does it mean? That it's okay? That no one is going to do anything about it? In the past, things that today seem atrocious and illegal to us have been normalized, but at that time everyone would give you the same message: 'It's normal, why would it be censored? It doesn't hurt anyone,' when in reality it hurt many.  

I’m not sure if I expressed myself well.

Rather then censor it, their should be appropriate filtering and warnings. Art is made for the artist, it's expression and censoring implies their expression is wrong. There are plenty of artworks and media that deeply disturb some, and are a nothing burger to another. Platforms popularised by said nuance and creative endeavours trying to now control that is wrong and silences voices of actual victims of various crimes. Plenty of victims use creative media as an outlet or simply to explore in a safe environment. 

Games like GTA aren't automatically bad because of its violence and crimes just like how games with nudity and NSFW themes aren't automatically bad for having those themes. Yes how its portrayed should be done with some care, but even if its not, its fiction. 

The viewer is responsible for what the movies and shows they watch, the listener is responsible for the music and audio they listen to, the reader is responsible for the books and articles they read and the player is responsible for what they play. The most a games developer should do is have appropriate tags, filters and warnings. That's it. Steam, Itch.io etc shouldn't silence and delete people's work. 

Also this game may have ai so I don't support this game specifically, but my point still counts. XD
