So now instead of a normal lesbian relationship, everyone thought they were in an incestuous lesbian relationship.

They did so by declaring Uranus and Neptune were cousins. The first English dub of Sailor Moon infamously tried to censor the lesbian relationship between Sailors Uranus and Neptune.This leads to things such as the words 'fuck' and 'dick' inconsistently having a Sound-Effect Bleep played over them that doesn't actually hide the word at all. Perhaps due to an error in editing, the bleeps from the Japanese audio of Back Street Girls are still audible in the English dub, despite the audio being uncensored.However, the actual audio wasn't censored at all, likely based on the logic that the majority of viewers couldn't speak Japanese.

When Mind Game was shown on Toonami, the words 'fuck', 'fag', 'pussy', and 'cunt' were partially censored in the subtitles as 'f**k', 'f*g', 'p***y', and 'c**t'.One must wonder why they bothered, as the show was already rated TV-MA and the words came out as 'f (silence)ck' and 'sh (silence)t'. However, partially muted F-bombs began to be added to the script after a few episodes and with them, 'shit' began to be muted. The broadcast dub of Prison School started out avoiding F-bombs, but leaving 'shit' uncensored.Averted by Crunchyroll, who leave all the F-bombs uncensored. It's left uncensored as Inferno Cop is hauled to jail in episode 3, but every other occurrence is censored by 'fxxx', though 'shit' and other mild-to-moderate profanities are okay. Inferno Cop's official subs by Trigger (originally used on their official YouTube upload) can't decide if they're okay with 'fuck' or not.The broadcast dub of My First Girlfriend is a Gal started bleeping 'shit' and 'dick' starting with episode 5, despite leaving both words unbleeped in previous episodes.4Kids is notorious for its edits of violence in One Piece and Yu-Gi-Oh!, but they were much laxer when it came to shows they made themselves, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003).

It's clearly being done for the sake of comedy at times, such as when they bleep out the 'P' in PSP, only to visibly show somebody playing a PSP with the logo completely in view on the back of it.

When the anime of Gintama uses censor bleeps, they frequently bleep out only a single syllable of the word that's being said.

The dub of Tokyo Mew Mew, despite usually trying to cut out Aizawa Mint's crush on Zakuro, had the cast imagining who a character's boyfriend might be and replaced Mint's thoughts of a male figure with Zakuro.

Sometimes overlaps with Never Say 'Die' when death occurs onscreen, but nobody is allowed to actually say the words. See also Censored for Comedy, which is what this trope can become. And on top of all that, inconsistency in the censorship may be the result of a Censor Decoy - an earlier version of the work that was blatantly offensive in order to make the work the writers wanted to produce seem tamer.Ĭompare Clumsy Copyright Censorship, Curse Cut Short, and Narrative Profanity Filter. Alternatively, the writers may 'censor' perfectly innocuous content and invite the viewer to imagine something naughty in its place. This trope can also be Played for Laughs if the writers just want to mess around with the admittedly-funny bleep noises. It can be a way of getting back at the Moral Guardians - fulfilling their demand for censorship in a perfunctory and half- asterisked way. This trope can occur because of simple incompetence on the censors' part, but it tends to occur on purpose just as often as not. At any rate, it's clear that the work is supposed to be censored but ultimately nothing is actually concealed. Maybe they cut out all the swearing but left in that scene with the women's nudist colony and the tub of bacon grease. Perhaps the Censor Box is so small that you can clearly see what's behind it, or a word is bleeped out in some scenes but not in others. The Angry Video Game Nerd, 'Episode 90: Action 52'Īn instance where a work is censored so randomly or ineffectually that the attempted censorship doesn't hide a nything and makes you, the viewer, wonder why they even bothered.
