It was more than merely a perceived outcry. A lot of people aren't aware of this but the advertisers for the streaming are the culprits behind the edited streams. Apparently quite a few of them don't want to be associated with nudity, especially loli nudity. (No I don't have a source but I've read numerous comments from official and unofficial sources as well as seen comments from sites using the same advertising that complained about the same problem.)
If there was a paid subscription service, with out advertisers, we could probably avoid problems like this.

This part of your post is so good I could kiss you for it!
This is exactly the attitude I wish everyone had. I'm all in favor of being a "moral" person but everyone has the right to make their own judgement call about what that means. Let people make their own choices! Regulation and censorship, regardless of who does it, is just the imposition of the will of a an elite few over the many.
People take the issue of censorship way too lightly.

I wonder if said fans are going to buy this in a brick and mortar store or if they are going to buy it online. Considering I got some pretty interesting stares when I bought Genshiken DX, I imagine said vampire series will create a very awkward situation if bought in a real store.
But it's pretty awesome that Funimation releases unedited versions. They've done that with One Piece and Case Closed and that is why I support Funimation as much as I do. Nothing beats a unedited, uncensored and raw version of a show as the author intended it to be.

So if something like this would be taking censorship too lightly, then what on earth would count as taking censorship too seriously? I mean that whole thread about the Vampire Bund article seemed ridiculously serious to me.

Little slow on the uptake here! 
Funi announced it would be uncut at a convention about 5 months ago.

All the more reason for me not to buy this. But as if I would spend my money on lolicon anyway.

This isn't a Right Stuff press release. As the article states, one "Chad Murphy" tipped the newsroom off to the fact that the show now had a release listed on Right Stuff. Unless you're claiming that Chad is an employee of TRSI..?

Since it has already been confirmed with FUNimation themselves...

Thank you, I appreciate the gesture of affection.

Not really. Rumors of an uncut version arose ever since the initial release was stated as being edited. The article simply confirmed the actual release of the uncut version. The delay could be expected because they are essentially re-releasing a title that they've already invested in. So it has the added bonus of appealing to new buyers who were probably put off by the earlier release, due to censorship. It's a win-win situation.
