I went off on a weird tangent about game preservation after my initial question, but that’s what I meant with my “I wonder if the artist’s vision has changed as well.”
If the artist’s views have changed, and they are either supportive or the driver of a change like this, is it neutering their vision? It’s certainly straying from the original vision, but I wouldn’t call it neutering.
When I think of neutering, or really, betraying an artist’s original vision, I think of something more akin to Terminator 2 (James Cameron was pushed to give the movie an open-ended ending), or, more recently, 2003’s Dumb & Dumberer.
One character is explicitly underage and sexually assaulted in game. Another is the “she died young and is a ghost so she just LOOKS young but she’s actually way older” trope.
If an artist’s vision is sexualized children, maybe that artist needs an eye exam.
