If you don’t like what’s happening then just don’t watch it, trying to control other people’s lives because of your morals is a very selfish/immature thing to do.

Censorship is never good. But I can think of a few vocal minority tourist on MAL that would probably love this

Not a big deal from a visual standpoint, but I’m more curious how they handle Turbo Granny cursing Okarun. Does she still gobble his weenie, or do they change it?

@jekfrumstotferm Now this is the real question to ask.

The censorship is whatever, "lame you can't see her in her panties and bra". If they really want to see momo in her panties and the bra china government ain't gonna stop them.

Fair i guess, if this shows airs on tvs in china and to make it kid friendly, it was the only option, however i hope there is no digital censorship in online streaming platforms

China should fucking grow a pair of balls.

Every country always has some dumb shit, this is a dumb shit from China, but even Japan has other dumb shit too, like censoring porn.

I think China censored this anime because it’s too brutal to watch. Anyway, that country has a lot of restrictive rules and they always apply the censorship if needed.

They think it’s inappropriate. That’s why they modify/hide any unusual aspect (sexualising things).

I mean if I were watching it I wouldn't be in a fit over them censoring the characters. The cigarette felt petty though.

Well, China has some serious restrictive laws on ecchi and erotic related material, it was inevitable.

Personally i don't see the point in airing a censured show, unless it's a highly disturbing one and you wanna release it on national tv channels (why would you want to do that though?).

Thank goodness China is censoring content! We certainly wouldn’t want its citizens exposed to the dangerous influences of anime fanservice and smoking.

It's possible that they think anime tiddies have hypnotic powers that will sway the minds of their young population.

I think they might be right about that.

@Buckshot_ Censoring a thing which will kill you makes a lot more sense than censoring underwear which everyone can safely wear.

That's funny because the last time I talked about Chinese censorship 2 pro-donghua users tried to convince me that it actually isn't that bad.
No, this isn't my signature.

like yea it kinda sucks depending on how you look at it, but it also doesn't affect the story much so I'd much rather this and have more people (those in China) watching this while complying to local broadcasting laws than the alternative (less people watching)

Edit: btw my answer to the poll is "I don't particularly care"

Yeah...it's called cultural differences and is nothing new^^

Western Cencorship is based in phony political correctness. That's the difference.

Just see how many times eastern values had to adhere to rules set by American standards. Best example would come to mind is politically correct and don’t say “insensitive” things that would hurt “American” twitter mobs.

I feel like people reacting to something, even trying to cancel it was vastly different from government censorship though.

I’m not defending cancel culture, but that’s totally different.

The problem are these people actually have power positions. Hence why cancel culture is effective to begin otherwise no1 would have listened to them tbh.

Cultural differences would be if we were talking about dress codes for people and how it's pretty different to what other real people in a different country normally wear. This is actually straight fascism from a manipulating government acting as a fake democracy telling it's people what they should do and how to think. It has nothing to do with actual "culture".
