I do mean stuff like removed scenes from international airings, replacing objects like cigarettes or vine with any other objects.

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.

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

I like to think there was some guy in China working in the Censorship Bureau who was like "damn this is a kick ass movie but I gotta prove to my bosses I'm hard at work" so they chopped out a little inconsequential bit in the beginning and let it ride

The censorship on the movie The Big Sleep, based on a book about a pornography ring run by organized crime, was released at a time when they censored everything to the point of making the movie into a kind of nonsense with Bogart talking fast and Bacall singing a song about DV.

WTF, that's not the area I'd expect to "clutch pearls" over wine. (It's labeled in Russian, or another language with the same word for milk)

This is a hate crime!
