RWarehall: Censor
To examine books, movies, letters, etc., in order to remove things that are considered to be offensive, immoral, harmful to society, etc.
A good dictionary almost always has a list of definitions to explain all meanings of a word, not just one. You chose the wrong one.
This may help from the ACLU...

It is censorship, to both change content for the above or to ban content based on the above. For example, Walmart refusing to sell certain music without the lyrics changed to something less offensive. Or banning music from radio play because of its content.
The part where people are going overboard is the
assumption that Hatred is not released here because of its violence or controversy. This part we do not know. They very well could have determined the game play and polish was just not good enough. Especially given how they do sell games such as Postal, Postal 2, Harvester, etc.
Okay I concede that I used a poor definition of the term Censor/censorship in this case, and I agree people are going overboard with baseless assumptions but let's be honest here that is what the internet has become. Facts are no longer facts supported by evidence but rather just hearsay that has been said enough times that obviously it's true because no one wants to bother to look the claims up which is funny given that the internet is somewhere you can easily find that information if you just bother to look.
