seems fake but honestly if not who cares, people treat the undead in WoW not having visible skin-rips like it’s literally 1984 or more tasteful cleavage in genshin impact like it’s apocalypse now lol. China’s got its values, unsurprisingly many abstracted from socialist-materialist and rooted in traditional Chinese culture, and they should certainly be allowed to protect them if the people want to
Social media when too much violence in Halloween movie: noooo this scene is too brutal, cut it😡
Social media when China censors almost naked anime characters: NOOOO MUH CENSORSHIP and freeze speech to see naked anime characters😭😡
Terrifier 2 is apparently making people literally vomit into their popcorn in theatres, from the sheer carnivalesque goriness, and I’ve heard that the movie plain sucks outside the vomit-hype. Mortal Kombat animators are forced to watch actual deaths in order to better simulate the fatalities in their games, some of them have claimed post-traumatic symptoms afterwards. Don’t get me wrong, I love horror and am no prude, but I can’t fault China for drawing the line somewhere. Some of this shit is overkill, pun intended, and the kneejerk reaction against “ban violent video games” types has made good faith discourse surrounding how this hyperviolence affects our psyche nigh impossible.
There was some petition last year to remove a scene from Halloween Kills where Michael Myers kills some firefighters in you know, violent ways saying that it was too brutal and then the same people go and scream at China for censoring nudity. And that Mortal Kombat shit is too much.
I’ve noticed this in a lot of western media recently – going for sheer visceral impact instead of good storytelling. Doing a comedy? Don’t bother with good jokes, just have a lot of juvenile gross-out humor that people will think is “edgy.” A horror movie? Never mind about crafting a suspenseful plot, just throw a lot of gore on the screen. A romance? Don’t bother making the audience care about the characters, just have them look appealing. To me, this is the sign of an industry which is artistically bankrupt at a very fundamental level.
A good horror movie would be about an honest working class person seeing the bills pile up and the landlord coming with an eviction notice.
Like… Im not even joking.

Ok so suppose you’re horny for the guy working at the blood bank
go on
Certain agreements would be arranged
Where the mother fucking Vocel police when you need them?
Thank god for China, now theres a possibility of a non-cringe anime industry. And by cringe I mean the constant pedophilia, incestuous, and sexualization that is prevalent in the hyper capitalist industry. Other countries should follow their example. In more ways than this one.
I’m so thankful that my country however shitty it is has a good censorship and control of anime. They cut out all the things you mentioned here that I didn’t even know that exists in anime at all, they leave violence, curse words(even add some in our language lol) but cut everything even remotely sexual.
When I saw it on the internet, I had no idea what the hell are they talking about and when I watched the original version of it, I was disgusted at best when I saw what they did to one of my favorite characters ever. Watching the original versions of the anime is just the WTF moment.
Remember when Tokyo Ghoul anime was coming out and it was almost unwatchable due to censorship? If you don’t, you’re a filthy casual noob.
Also that time they replaced an entire episode of School Days with stock footage of a boat
I’m so mad that you made me remember School Days is an anime that exists
School Days is a brilliant critique of the dangers of Victorian social mores, lack of sexual education, and the permanent repression and anxiety inherent to Japanese capitalism, and I am willing to die on this hill
I’m sorry that I’m deeply uncomfortable by a show that sexualizes teenagers’ and also I fucking hate the protag I’m so glad that…
Tokyo Ghoul screenshots, a show that features gore and light nudity
Sigh, memories
Whether this is even true doesn’t matter, all you need to say is that China is doing something absurd and people will believe you.
It’s not true obviously and yes, you can made up literally anything and people will repeat it like robots.
You see, I’ve already trained my mind to doubt on sight.
I can do without the sexual shit especially with minors for fucking super obvious reasons but I kind of think the blood thing is perhaps a little unnecessary? I mean some of the super violent animes are ridiculous and at that point just give them super hard ratings for adults only or just outright ban them but the whole making blood white thing seems little silly. I’d rather they just ban the thing.
Like their censor of that fucking dragon maid anime actually made it better cause of how fucking insane that shit was. Like wtf. They gave a child “dragon” huge ass hips and made her child friend constantly perve on her. They had a “dragon” with ultra huge knockers trying to rape a little boy. The gave the biggest breasts on planet earth to a “dragon girl” that was “mentally a child in a semi adult body.” China making all those women look like normal girls with properly proportioned bodies at least took away that insanity. Not that it was able to fix the whole “pedo dragon” shit but I’ll take it. Idk where I was going with this I just really fucking hate than anime and every other garbage story, fan service only trash anime that makes it to mainstream because “ohhhhh look boobies and I’m a horny weed that can’t handle my sexual insecurities.”
Edit: God I’m so fucking trashed I’m sorry if I make no sense comrades.
Callisto Protocol is not allowed in Japan… For gore and violence unless the developers tone down the gore.
So… They wanna try again?
