Lolicon - Restore pre-censorship version?

Lolicon came up on my radar tonight as a page with comment tags; when I went in I found a rather large amount of TVT justification for a change in the text from what it originally read, which happened at some point between September 18 and 23, 2011, with further refinements between then and the time we forked. So I went and looked, as I vaguely recalled that it had read differently (I created the page, after all, some 12 or 13 years ago).

This is the last "uncensored" version. "Uncensored" is perhaps a misnomer, it might be closer to bowdlerized. The original page also had some subpages, which might be worth rescuing.

The question is, is the original in any way preferable to the version imposed by the first round of post-Incident reaction?

Yes, a thousand times yes. The original version is way more informative and isn't something dumb like "Lolicon = Pedophile". If anything, the Wikipedia article has similar info.

I concur, please do what you can to rescue the page before the censors went after it, at least in regards to making it more informative and less a propaganda piece.
