Convince Sony Entertainment not to Censor Nudity in Cyberpunk 2077 for the PS4

The Issue

Recently Sony has adopted a more aggressive attitude towards explicit content in video games, as evidenced by censorship in Devil May Cry 5, in an effort to appeal to the easily outraged parents of younger audiences. Even though the M rating on mature games exists solely so that these parents can make informed decisions, it seems they are either too lazy or too ignorant to realize this.

Following this decision many fear that Sony will extend this policy to future titles on the PS4, most prominently Cyberpunk 2077. Being a genre characterized by the seedy underbelly of urban life and shameless sexual content in part, I think it's pretty clear how puritanical censorship would detract from the game. I don't normally have much faith in change.org petitions, but at the very least perhaps enough publicity around this one would gain the attention of Sony higherups. Enough to understand that fears over such a decision could impact sales on the PS4.
