Sorry about the venom here, but I hate this reaction. Rockstar didn't deceive anyone about the content of the game. There is absolutely, positively no legitimate 1st party mechanism through which this content can be unlocked.
Hell, almost certainly the censor flag was added and the content blocked because the ESRB rejected it to begin with. What we're basically saying to game designers now is that they have to go through the game data of every game and make sure that nothing in INACTIVE data and code could possibly be construed as adult. That's just crazy. Think about what this could do to the ESRB content rating process. Are they they going to start requiring access to every individual piece of data on the disc and the associated tools to easily view said data regardless of its disposition in the game?
What blows me away even more is modding community. Good lord. The gall it takes to blame Rockstar just blows me away here. I wouldn't have blamed them either, but to suggest that Rockstar did something inappropriate or tried to set them up to do something inappropriate is f-ing ridiculous.
