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.

"Artistic freedom exists because of the people who have died for it over thousands of years often in grotesque and brutal ways like degloving or burning alive". Give me example dude. I can tell you about how many people died during the crusades and about the ideological war like the cold war but I've never heard of people waging war because of artistic freedom. Make stuff up buddy.
Wait, really? It was feminists who started the adult games censoring shit? I was kinda expecting it was the 'I go to church every Sunday and I'm holier than thou' people who would be all gungho about this. I'm guessing it's about sexualizing women in media again? I can't really expect the censorship to work because if there's a demand, there would always be a market for it. It sure would be as effective as the prohibition.
