so the major issue with the toggle is that it adds another level of complexity and would require a fairly herculean task of skimming all possible outputs in the codebase, determining which ones are over a certain "line" that people can't seem to agree on to begin with, and add that flag to each of them.
as pali mentionned, the text in question has been changed to resemble other comparable disease outputs. they might change again depending on feedback and other circumstances.
either way, the suggestion still poses a difficult choice:
do we write an entire set of "censored" text for replacing grotesque content, or do we deny the player what is essential information on the progression of their disease. both are suboptimal.
I personally think the right way forward is to be conscious of what's going into the game, how it's recieved, and letting that inform the content decisions. that's my 2c and not an official statement.
