It is a totally honest question.

Why do you like censored games?

I've seen a lot of Games with a high rating, but they got the "censored" Tag and well... the Content is Censored... Pixels or White/Black stripes...
I absolutely do not understand why People would like these Games.

Well, if they've got a good story, okay, but even then i would prefer to see nothing and leave the rest to my imagination instead of seeing pixels...

IMHO the Pixels and/or Black/White stripes are an absolute turn off!

I REALLY would like to know why some people like these games.

Depends on quality. I honestly don't remember the last time I played a censored game, but I can understand why other people would. You don't have to see everything perfectly to get turned on by a good kink or a good sex scene. Why do you think Beaver Hunt was so popular back when paper nudie mags were still a thing? Tell a good story and it doesn't really matter if you can see it or not, if it's told well enough.

Okay, as mentioned before, i really understand the "Story driven" censorship... but still, i would prefer to not see anything and leave it to my imagination instead of seeing pixels and stuff...
So why do some people prefer to see pixels/stripes instead of nothing (leaving it to their imagination)
I don't know if it is country based (like JAV), where people got used to censorship and it is kind of a turn on, or anything else...
Im really curious!

Because we are too old to still play mom&dad with our sister's barbie and ken dolls ?

You prefer it this way, good for you. But personally, seeing a girl blow some air, or a guy putting his void in a girl void, I never really found this interesting. At least with pixels there's something that happen, the characters are having sex, not .

What I don't get is why pixels get so much hate, have you guys been raped by pixels or something?

To me censored/uncensored porn have the exact same effect at the end of the day. I honestly don't even notice if a game is censored or not because it doesn't matter at all to me.

Sometimes I get the impression people on this website simply cannot conceive that reading porn with no images is very very popular. Literotica had almost twice as much traffic as this site in the last month (if google is to be believed). Many people have imaginations that can overcome censorship or indeed a lack of pictures.

Depends what type it is? Like if its a Japanese game then i dont like it of course but since the laws over there states it nothing can be done. But if the setting for example like censoredsight by Aquaworshipper then it works with well. Of course best solution is to have options to turn on and off. But with japanese works they really cant do much. Unless they go steam route or other sites thats western centered to apply a uncensored patch like kagura games etc.

Maybe... You don't understand that porn is made for those don't want to think or immaginate shit.

Go on erotic literature if you want imagination, porn is another thing

Maybe you still don't understand that f95Zone is for "adult games and comics", and not just for porn ones.

2 scenarios: A) the resf of the game is well done/has things I'm looking for, or B) the censorship is so poor, it doesn't matter. There's a game I played recently called Mari's Sexual..something (sorry, too lazy to look it uo right now) that fit both of these. The censorshil eas a slight blur to the gentials, which wasn't really an issue, and it olayed a bit like an old early 99s game like Myst or the Journryman Project (control wise) eith good H scenes.

I don't think anyone loves games or porn because they're censored. I like japanese porn, but hate that they have to censor genitals. It's just a stupid japanese censorship law that requires to censor that stuff.

Im not sure everybody here is talking about the same thing. Like someone said, I don't think the fact genetailia is censored in Hentai is thrilling to anybody, its just there due to restrictions.

Anticipation can definetly be hot though, it depends on the situation. Perhaps a bad example, but I thought the hottest scene in the old Big Brother series was when Eric the douchebag (who was dating the MC's mother) had locked himself in the same room as the MC's sister when she was drunk and presumably had sex with her.

I agree we mostly want to see the whole thing in the end, but as for building anticipation, sometimes less is more.

Well, sometimes the game is just a way too good even being censored. And lets be honest here, now all art styles are top quality so sometimes you may be losing less than you think.

Still, im not very fond censored games either, just play them when the gameplay, story and etc makes it worth

*Assuming the tag is marked.

And of those 2650, 2472 are tagged Japanese which is 93%. So for people who like games that happen to be censored, it's extremely likely that they really just like Japanese games and the censorship is a side effect.

As for why we like them despite the censorship? I want to play finished games with actual gameplay. Since English-speaking devs are typically focused on VN's and/or their forever-in-development non-VN projects, well there's not much choice is there? I'm not blaming anyone, but that's just the way it is. Of course there's an occassional English-speaking dev making and finishing games with gameplay, but it's not very common. And while a lot of Japanese games are a waste of time, i have far better chances of finding something i want to play from there. The censorship really doesn't bother me anymore unless it's a black bar, but i haven't seen anyone do that anymore.
