    I am in a small discord group for some Monster Hunter gaming and I shit you not one guy was raging about Chinese censorship of this exact thing and of that trash Dragon Maid anime where the put hyper massive breasts on the dragon girl with the mental age of a child and I immediately knew who the pedophile of the server was.

      So the story is their husband (yes singular, of course polygamy cause why not?) sent them out to pretend to be “prostitutes” in what is essentially Japan’s red light district to try and find some specific demon. So literally the entire series ark is the hyper sexualization of women and how that’s actually ok up until some demon starts actually eating them…

    Reminds me of trying to read one piece. In the collected edition, the author replies to fan mail. One female reader asked him to not sexualize nami because the boys in her class were being wierd about her and the author refused with some “boys will be boys” nonsense. Edit: nami was 17 yo btw.

      That’s Goblin Slayer and there’s a lot of rape and talk about rape cause without that how do you know how bad goblins are right?

      This is Demon Slayer and there’s only a small amount of suggested rape. But a whole lot of “sexualizing girls is cool until you decide to eat them.”

    Has the Chinese ruling party provided an explicit reason for why this type of content is changed? I see a lot of assumptions and speculation, sure, but I can’t yet find a reliable source.

      Unlike Japan they are very staunchly against the sexualization of children. You disagree with that?

        I don’t disagree with being against the sexualization of children. Of course not.

        That doesn’t answer my question in any way whatsoever and I don’t know why you thought it was relevant. “Has the Chinese ruling party provided an explicit reason for why this type of content is changed?” I’m not asking for our speculation.

          Yes, their cultural ministry repeatedly said they remove pornography and violence from content for children.

            Great, what I’m looking for is an explicit example of that, because I dont’ know where to find it. Any suggestions or links?

            edit: to clarify, I’m not sure if ‘demon slayer’ is ‘content for children’ even if it’s about teenagers who I think shouldn’t be sexualized, so I’m looking for something relevant to why the kind of censorship in the opening post is censored.
