    If you are going to use definitions as an argument, you might want to look up the definition of suppress (given its importance in the definition of censorship).

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/suppress

    suppressed; suppressing; suppresses
    Definition of suppress
    transitive verb

    1: to put down by authority or force
    2: to keep from public knowledge: such as
    a: to keep secret
    b: to stop or prohibit the publication or revelation of
    3a: to exclude from consciousness
    b: to keep from giving vent to
    5a: to restrain from a usual course or action
    b: to inhibit the growth or development of
    6: to inhibit the genetic expression of
    OP is doing none of this. They aren't restricting peoples glamours, they aren't forcing anything upon anybody. They are making a CLIENT SIDE CHANGE. This affects NOBODY. Nobody is censored, nobody is suppressed, the change affects only the person choosing to use the option. If you choose to be offended or sensitive about this then that is your fault, not the OPs, they are in the right to want this change, and their approach is harmless. Ive seen threads complaining about certain glamour pieces, and their attitude has been oppressive and censoring, but this thread isn't that.

    key words: CLIENT SIDE
