Is this really censored?
Hard to say. I'd say yes. Not in your typical mosaic way, but censored out to match a 'patch of skin' sorta.
There are rare artists out there on Pixiv who don't censor their works.

They're damn skillful, because I can not even tell.
tbh, I don't see why this is censored either. I clearly see a "stripe" and a "dot" in the approximate right position. Is that clear enough?
Flan is pretty good with tagging and using the source is no real aid, so it's pretty difficult to determine for sure, imo.
I felt the exposed area was a bit blurred or lightly drawn as compared to the legs and went with that. Whether intentional or not is hard to tell, but like Ten-san said, artists rarely leave an image uncensored on Pixiv and this artist has censored his other R-18 images (albeit with bars).
