The problem with the modern concept of political correctness (social justice! it just sounds cooler!) is the hard counter to the entire lexicon is "you don't have the right to not be offended." Because that's basically all that needs to be said. To the point it doesn't even need to be said. So the hip rebrand of political correctness just gets more and more insane as college kids try to out politically correct one-another while the opposition just looks on in amused superiority.

Conversely, the relationship between conservative Christians litigating censorship is a lot stronger than >>3060447 realizes. As Christians started off just talking directly to mass media outlets, only to be ignored because their demands were completely unreasonable/insane, which angered them, and caused them to go for litigation. The problem is cowtowing to the modern versions of the same types of people (those who demand others adhere to their values) just gives the groups an inflated sense of efficacy. Especially since the targets of their bitching, most of the time, are people putting out extremely niche products that will never achieve mainstream success anyway. Creating a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. The extremely niche product loses marketability with the narrow demographic that wanted it in the first place and the bitching group would never have bought it either. Making the content producer/localize think they either can't win or the answer is to "localize" more.

Of course the best example of the utter insanity of localization is poison. Capcom just THOUGHT, without any sort of proof or outcry, that women in the US would be upset about violence against women. So they said poison was a crossdresser. Because they knew the people they'd piss off with violence against crossdressers were infinitesimal compared to the people they'd piss off with violence against women.
