Censored!



Recently I've watched a video on YouTube about censorship in movies and animated series for children. Especially japanese anime. And I was surprised when I found out what do they censor in the United States. So a girl showed a little bit her panties and they were white, she was wearing also a pink dress, so they painted pink her panties that children didn't see that someone is wearing an underwear. They also changed (suddenly) a skin colour of one of the characters, because he resembled a caricature of black people from XIX and XXcentury - so in one episode he was black and in the next one he was blue. For me there was nothing insulting in his first appearance because he looked like an alien and he was a magician (or sth like that).
They also changed a cover of a magazine for adult men read by an elder guy - let's be honest, there was only a blurred woman on it so there was no need to change anything.
I think that innocent eyes and ears won't notice anything "naughty" in the movies for children, let's look at the cartoons - in "Johnny Bravo" Johnny was watching TV and there was a scene inw hich the girl explains to her boyfriend why they can't be together 
-"You don't understand, I'm a bitch..."
-"Oh, don't say that..."
- "No, I really am a bitch" - and she takes off her human costume and reveals she's a... dog! So as we can see, there was no need to censor anything! The same thing with Johnny's flirting texts - on his birthday he was looking for a date, so he approaches to a girl and says: "Wanna blow my candle?" Innocent children won't understand the reference and it's a nod to parents that they weren't so bored while watching cartoons with their kids.
But I guess in Malaysia it's a humiliation to show your feet, so whenever the main character in "Sailor Moon" fell (and she used to fall in every episode, really like EVERY episode) they blured her feet (even when she was wearing shoes). So we shouldn't complain about our censorship.
