Haven't had the opportunity to experience all this content people are crying about, but by the sound of it I'd say it's a good thing it was removed.
Then you would be wrong. It's not a good thing when an artist/writer/developer is censored, or forced to self-censor. It's not a good thing when content which was enjoyed by many players, and which brought the developer a lot of financial support, is removed under duress.
And on top of the above important considerations, it's worth noting that all of that content was optional. If someone didn't care for that kind of content, they were able to skip it. So why you would think that it's a good thing that it was removed is pretty hard for me to understand.
