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

Dragon Ball has a scene in one of the earlier episodes where Goku gets desperate and confused when he finds out Bulma doesn’t have balls. In Brazil, the panty removing scene was cut, but him screaming and waking up Bulma was kept, with the chatter being fully nonsensical “I was hungry and looking for food!”
I also remember seeing that a country, I think Thailand?, censors even male pectorals, so a lot of DBZ fights had big blurs over the characters.
I like DB/DBZ and some anime, but holy shit is anime fucking cringe. Even modern anime. It always throws off the mood. Like you’ll have some serious anime with real serious themes, and all of a sudden the main character will like grab some girl’s boobs and make a goofy sound (or some other variation of cringe fan service) and you’re just like “wut?”
Edit: why downvotes? You guys like cringe fanservice? Why? I would love an explanation for why you like this. Because I really don’t get it.
Edit2: To be clear not every anime has this but most do.
Plenty of anime exist without perverse humor.
Attack on Titan, Death Note, Jujutsu Kaisen and Psychopass to name a few.
Name an anime without a shower/bath scene. It’s a lot harder than you’d think.
You just named 4 anime which aren’t only relatively devoid of perverse humor, they’re also not meant to be humorous.
I don’t know of anybody picking up Attack on Titan, excited to laugh.
I never said every anime has it. But the vast majority do.
Friend, you gotta not care about downvotes. If you bring attention to it, you’ll get folks downvoting you just for that. And if you comment a second time, like you did here, you’re going to get downvoted all to hell in the second one. Since it’s obvious that you care, and folks on the internet love to irritate each other over nothing.
Future reference- just don’t look at your comments again after you make them, unless you’ve come back because someone replied to you. No need to obsess over things you’ve said anyway. The internet will hate some, love some, and it won’t always make a lick of sense. Put it behind you and don’t concern yourself with it.
Thanks for mansplaining how to use Lemmy. Seriously though, it’s not that i care about downvotes, but rather I would prefer someone offer an actual counter-point vs simply downvoting. If something I say is wrong or bad then i want to know why. If what the other people say are reasonable then i may adjust my viewpoint.
Also sometimes I want to edit my comment to clarify something. If i feel that i misrepresented what I was trying to say (i.e. that most anime, not ALL anime have fanservice) then why wouldn’t I want to edit the post? Otherwise I’m purposely letting people misunderstanding one of the things I said. That doesn’t make much sense to do.
‘Mansplaining’ requires the explaining person to be a man.
You’re entitled to having an opinion. You’re allowed to share that opinion. You aren’t entitled to people stopping to tell you why they think you’re wrong. Nobody owes you the time to stop and explain things to you.
And receiving downvotes doesn’t necessarily mean someone thinks you’re wrong. It could just be that you’re being needlessly antagonistic. An example of this, is how I’m removing my sympathy upvotes to your previous comments. You obviously didn’t need my sympathy.
Isn’t mansplaining more of a general term these days? I hear both men and women mansplain regularly
I found mansplain on Merriam Webster, and also on Wikipedia. The Merriam Webster article says “of a man,” and the wikipedia article says “for a man” at the start.
Usually for these things I’d be all for abolishing the gendered nature of the word, but I feel like it would dilute the original meaning. So if anything, instead of gender-normalizing ‘mansplain,’ I think we need to add ‘womansplain,’ which is something I’m very guilty of doing to my partner whenever he’s cooking because I keep forgetting that it’s something he does very well.
But also, my reply still has merit here, because that individual was obviously weaponizing ‘mansplain’ to try and gender me, a woman, when what they likely wanted to convey was that they found me condescending. They shouldn’t be appropriating a gendered word to say something else they mean, so… uh. Sorry for all the extra words. I took my ADHD medication today and language discussion fascinates me.
You think something you dislike makes it cringe. Perhaps other people do not think that way, and just believe that some people like stuff, and other people like other stuff, without feeling attacked in their feelings.
I think blatently oversexualizing women and young girls nonstop in some anime is cringe, yes.
Then you missed the point that what you think does not have to be universal when it comes to reading material or movies.
This and the Bulma flashing Roshi scene is partially censored in almost every recut afaik. even on some DVD sets.
