No it isn't. There's a reason Tob Fox and co. deleted the withering flower sprite in one update before way later finally giving it a new one in the next. The rose withering sprite was deemed objectionable for the interpretation/memes of deflowering (or raping) Noelle. Otherwise, Toby and co. wouldn't have turned it into a single dot before replacing it with the new red cracking/shattering animation.
Toby Fox hasn't chaged other unobjectionable content to clarify supposed misunderstandings. He only changed the objectionable withering rose animation. Additionally, he didn't make it togglable, showing his intent for content erasure to appease the pearl-clutchers complaining.
Toby "I'm dodging bullets from a loli kitsune, my day could no be finer" Radiation Fox is gone. He clearly supports fictional content restrictions now.
