I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.
The Invincible TV series is quite gory. Blood gets censored to be white in China which makes for some interesting scenes of hands dripping with white stuff. Or this:
The way they censored the gay out of Steven Universe in Russia was just comically stupid. There’s a couple, Ruby and Sapphire, with Ruby being a more hot-headed butch type, and Sapphire being a cool-headed femme. So, Russia gives Ruby a goatee:
Even though, mind you, the dub still has a female VA for her. Anyway, last season of the show, Ruby and Sapphire get married. The showrunner didn’t want them to be able to censor it as easily, so she put Ruby in a dress and Sapphire in a suit:
So, naturally, they put the goatee on Sapphire this time:
Which kind of just makes it double gay, I think?
I remember when Young Guns aired on a cable channel in the 90s there’s a scene at the climax when Billy the Kid actually says “Murphy, you son of a bitch…” and shoots the baddie in the head.
So this cable channel edited it for him to say “Murphy, you sorry old buzzard…”. But the headshot was still intact because this is America.
John McClain kills every member of a heist crew then throws the boss off a skyscraper to his doom and the only concession made for tv is “Yippee ki yay Mr Falcon.” America.
I thought he said melon farmer
I’m old, and I saw the Breakfast Club back in the 80’s on like, channel 11. For years I couldn’t figure out why Principal Vernon and Carl the Janitor went from hating each other to being friends.
Years later I saw it unedited and realized they cut out the whole scene with the two of them bonding and smoking weed. So much made sense at that point.
Oh my gosh. I think Ive only ever watched this movie on TV. Going to have to change that now after reading this comment!
I have HAD it with these monkey-fightin’ snakes, on this Monday-Friday plane!
Yippee-ki-yay, Mister Falcon.
Yippee kayak, other buckets!
Nine-nine!!!

This city is a big chicken, just waiting for me to pluck it.
The 20th Anniversary Edition of E.T. not only had superflous CGI E.T. scenes (no doubt inspired by Lucas), but also all guns of the federal agents were changed to walkie talkies.
Spielberg later apologized for the changes and rolled them back.
“Yippie kay yay, MR FALCON.” from Die Hard is pretty infamous.
This has to be the laziest censorship job i’ve ever seen, dear god…
I like to imagine that’s part of the joke.
They’re drinking strawberry milk from their strawberry milk glasses, what, have you never been an adult?
Fun Industry Fact: There’s a certain percentage of pus and blood allowed for batches of milk from the factory farms.
They choose the batches of milk with the most blood in them for use in flavored milks.
A lot of this kind of thing happens. There’s limits on bunch of food contaminants that are higher than zero because zero is unrealistic (for example on the amount of rat feces in grain). Generally, the ones closest to the limits will be the ones chosen to be processed further into something where them being second-rate is less obvious. The pretty produce gets sold raw, somewhat uglier produce goes into shredded or finely chopped goods where you can’t see the difference. The flour that’s closer to the limit for rat shit content get processed into factory baked goods where it won’t be as noticeable, etc.
D :
That fact was not very fun.
Because it isn’t actually true.
There is an acceptable number of bug parts in chocolate as well.
That’s not actually true, though.
Sure bro, enjoy your completely contaminant free milk, dairy cows have a great time in factory farms.
Please, share a source, then.
Bro, there’s regulatory guidelines on how much hepatitis can be in plasma before they have to throw it out. Don’t have opinions on things you don’t know anything about, there’s blood, bugs, and shit in your food and everything is not based on the question “is there any” but “is there an unsafe amount?”
Quite literally the only reference I’m seeing to hepatitis in any of those links is what to do if someone (not a cow) is diagnosed with it, and it’s basically “Keep them away from the cows until they don’t have hepatitis anymore.”
Feel free to quote the actual section that you’re referring to.
This Arcane scene : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU15Tk3UZwc
It’s like they made 0 effort censoring it correctly 💀
Isn’t there a sex scene in season 2? How they censor that?
Apparently it was entirely removed in the Chinese version.
I wondered that too but couldn’t find it. If you do, send me! 😊
This isn’t even that gay.
There’s multiple versions of Brazil - the American version is just a little bit shorter. Those changes aren’t a big deal though. Howeverr, theres a made for TV version referred to as the “Love Wins Out” ending.
The movie is a parody of 1984 (absolutely hilarious and worth watching as are most things involving Terry Gilliam. I’ll spoil it a wee bit but the point isn’t these plot details.)
Basically, instead of Winston and Julia being lovers standing up to Big Brother, you have a delusional idiot who fucks up his pretty easy job in the evil totalitarian government by obsessing over and stalking a woman who has zero interest in him. His grip on reality is tenuous at best.
At the end, he fucks up and gets the Room 101 treatment. We’re treated to a fantastical scene as La Resistance comes in to save him, exciting bombings and car chases and reality bending visuals that are too ridiculous to be real. Him and the woman ride off into the sunset as badass rebels escaping the evil government.
That’s where the “Love Wins Out” movie stops. It’s clearly a hallucinatory dream sequence, and the actual ending reveals our “hero” has been tortured into insanity.
Like, the whole point of the movie is that she doesn’t like him, doesn’t know him, doesn’t want to know him. We don’t even know that she’s in La Resistance - it’s a great “unreliable narrator” film. But this TV version gives a character who exists to be an unlikeable moron the girl and a happy ending.
ISAIP episodes, those episodes pre-2010, with blackface jokes, basically it was showing how ridiculous blackface is to racists, the "execs decided it would be obliterated from most media besides clips on youtube. they are doing it "im a white person offended for black people "type of virtue signalling, not even poc is offended by this.
you know BSG wanted to say fuck instead frack.
also castlevania nocture, when they turned the captain lady intoa frozen shade, you can clearly see they dint want the frozens shades boobs to show in anyway, so its constantly always covered up.
On the tv airing of “How to Lose Your Guy in 10 Days,” they have a scene where they are playing a bluffing card game call “Bullshit” where you can call bullshit on people who you think are bluffing. They replaced the word “shit” with “spit” so everyone is shouting “bull spit” at each other. I found this to be so ridiculously lame that it made it kind of funny.
Imagine being triggered by the word shit
That’s definitely one I remember.
I like in Repo Man how every “fuck you!” becomes “flip you!”
The Malaysian version of Matrix cut out the kissing scene at the end.
MASH on Channel 10 (Australia) used to be so heavily censored they would splice two episodes into one.
This is in China, not so long ago 2019 or so… You can scan your TV and pay like 3 dollars a month or something usd for full access … Anyway, watching gladiator. The opening scene with the battle. For some reason it was cut (loads of films are cut to shit there) like in between the opening battle scene. Like man on horse calling for war… Cut to… dead people after battle… Might not have been that exactly, but there were a good few minutes cut at least and i never understood why, cos that the rest of the film was intact more or less and that scene alone didn’t have much bearing. In that regard, censorship doesn’t do much because you can’t just redact random little bits out of context
