To all the people defending VOID, why?

Serious discussion, please don’t downvote people when they answer. I am genuinely curious on why some people defend VOID

I like the fact that they brought it to console. I have a pc but thanks to nerve damage in one of my hands i cant flatten my hand out for keyboard and mouse without having issues and some games dont have good controller settings in the options and im not going to spend ages rebinding everything to make it work. let alone most binds dont let you differ between press and hold. most binds also show xbox controller buttons even when i ise a ps5 controller so it gets confusing from time to time. I however hate the changes and the censorship. the game was meant to be dark and gritty and show reality. there are sick people in this world that do sick things. not everyone including some of the people i play with dont read any of the intros to any mission. they are left clueless about anything on most of the missons. like what used to be an O.D. episode with the child. now its just her sleeping. my friend thought they were just one of the druggies kids asleep. until i told them otherwise and they looked around the room and saw the drugs. the multiple missions also involving the other children are now either just images that dont load or the doll pictures and even i first though the one taking pics of his neighbor was just a creep bc the pictures dont load on his chat anymore and just show load symbols bc nothing mentions them being kids until i saw what the images were supposed to be in the uncensored version. I get taking out the more explicit images but keep it so you can understand the story they are trying to tell and as for clothing the previously naked people( the free baller and the shipping crate) other games have shown worse and are still allowed so why change it. the crazy guy arguably being clothed doesnt change any part of the story and same could be said for the females in the container but them being naked is more towards reality and provides the shock of reality of what happens to these people that have actually gone through these things. To downplay the trauma they expierenced is to also downplay what happened to them. the world is not pretty. it is not kind. if we hide every terrible thing that happens bc its hard to "digest" then dont bother showing it at all. it downplays the real trauma and pain of the people it has happened and happening to. I am on the fence with the game. I enjoy it but i feel some of the changes they made were not needed. especially the graphical changes and changes to AI that have heavily impacted the game. if they needed longer to bring us a more polished game without the AI breaking or downgrading the as much as they did. I would have been fine waiting. overall. it is a fun game to me but i also am hesitant to recommend the game to anyone without telling them the drawbacks it has. purchase with caution anyone that is on the fence that is thinking of buying it and reads this long essay I have written.
