Not only that. They also censor illegal use of drugs, and therefore the first episode of Detective Conan gets funny.

Recall the scene where he got fed the drugs. Now imagine that tube of drugs pixelated.

That reminds me of how the US tried to censor the lesbian relationship in Sailor Moon by making them cousins. I'll let you imagine how that worked out.

Sometimes censorship DOES make a better story 😂

It was meant to be a joke

I went back and read it before realizing it wasn't funny so I deleted it

Sorry, all evidence was censored and everyone who knew those people were disappeared too.

Same with anyone who knew those people and so on.

When I was young watching it, I thought they were aliens or something with pink blood, took me half the show to realize it was a form of censorship of blood

3

I always wondered if that was simply a style choice or if it actually meant something, like psychological damage, because there are a couple scenes that stand out because the blood shown is regular color.

iirc it was mostly due to censorship, but it helped with the game's aesthetic. In the scenes where blood is red it's usually because it's old or dried blood.

Personally, I think they should make any blood an alpha-channel to see the A Bee Movie movie playing behind it.

Zom 100 did multi colored splatters and I think that was much more fun and not cum looking than this. Also very weird thing to censor, like does it being red vs white seriously change anything?

Duh, just insert a poorly rendered carton of (spilled) tomato juice.

Problem solved.

I have a feeling that creators are taking the piss out on the Chinese censorship system.

Zom 100 does this correctly, preserving and enhancing the tone of the series.

"Correct" is a strong word, it works for their show because you're seeing it through the protagonist's eyes who is absolutely loving the situation when compared to his dull office job. The colorful aesthetic there serves as part of the storytelling. However, choosing to just not make blood look like blood for everything only serves to undermine the violence shown. People talk about the dangers of becoming decensitized to violence through media, but imagine if media doesn't even show to grousom results of said violence what that could do to people's perception of it in real life.

fun fact: in half life due to German censorship they did a similar thing they made the military robots which is a better idea then this i say
