Censorship is an old concept in general but the reason censorship has been such a big topic is because of SJW's and feminazis whining and complaining about "Sexism" and "objectification" in video games. Like how polygon, in their review of Witcher 3, stated how their is "sexist" elements in the Witcher 3. Or when this character named R. Mika had some sort of butt slap pose that was censored because people complained it was sexist (this was stated by the producer of the game). It's honestly ridiculous.

They've created this climate where companies have become afraid of portraying certain thing's so that they don't offend those people. People should have the freedom to create whatever they want without feeling pressured to change something cause it "offends" them.

That being said, I'm not one of those people who thinks feminism is bs. I'm a huge supporter of feminism and we need it. Their is sexism and misogyny in the world still. I just don't think it's an issue in video games and focusing sexism in the video game realm distracts from real life issues of sexism and misogyny.
