"We Aim To Be Inclusive"
For those that pre-ordered the Snowy Escape Pack, I got notified by a user that bowing at shrines can no longer be done. The Sims 4 team aims to be inclusive, yet actively censors and removes Japanes...

inclusive
/ɪnˈkluːsɪv/
1.
including all the services or items normally expected or required.
"menus stating fully inclusive prices"
2.
not excluding any of the parties or groups involved in something.
"only an inclusive peace process will end the conflict"
So based on this definition shouldn't Japanese religion (or some refrence to it with a fake name since this is the sims) be included in a Japanese pack? How does one want to be inclusive by choosing which side of the conflict to support and which to censor.
If The Sims 4 is really going for that realistic reflections of reality aka "everyone is represented" I have to say two things. First, it's a fire sure way to create conflict and two if you want to reflect reality you can't censor things by picking a side of a conflict between to groups to support. You have to stay neutral and censoring the shrines just isn't a neutral position.
