discussion What’s the point of playing censored games?

[alice33]

Text games often have few visuals, I've played a lot of those. Otherwise, if a game is good enough then I do not really care about it being censored.

I do also like how the censored content has to be creative and focus on other aspects of the characters, the positioning, the mood, the lighting, and etc. to bring out the sexiness and arousal.

1000% true, erotism relies on small details and subtelty rather than showing directly explicit parts

I mean, it's why lingerie exists, otherwise everyone would directly get naked - it's much less expensive lol

In the end I guess it's all about forcing your mind to fill the gaps with what you actually really desire

...what’s the actual appeal once the primary visual incentive is taken off the table?

I think enough is shown to let people fill in the blanks themselves. I personally prefer uncensored because I'm more interested in seeing the developer and/or artist's vision in full, but I can understand why people don't mind censored content.
