Hinata Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 [COLOR=royalblue] I know many people don't liked dubbed versions of anime but why do you suppose they do that..They say it's to protect the youth but I feel it's just a way to ruin other peoples entertainmet..I understand that some things on TV may be to violent or offensive(language-wise) but then those who don't like it shouldn't watch it.... For examples: Change HELL in DBZ to HFIL...or calling Mr. Satan, Hercule, and even the Room of Spirit and Time to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.. But this isn't only happening in cartoons...it happened on one of my fav shows...WWF Raw is War and Smackdown...Why did they have to tak out the word A@@, or G@&D$MMIT..but on other programs I watch they allow men to used the word B!TCH.. I feel if you're gonna censor stupid things like that...then censor all of it....or even none at all.... That's how I feel...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Wow, you should have been around before. I did this really detailed topic on censorship that you would have probably liked. Anyway, do you know what's funny? They "Beeped" out a swear word in SmackDown and when it went on commercial break, I heard an actor in a family sitcom say the same thing! The WWF only censors things because of the PTC getting on their back, threatening sponsors and such. The WWF used to be really raunchy. I remember when, Mark Henry recieved oral sex from a transexual on Raw. As for DBZ, it's considered "Children's programming" here in America. They target all the merchandise towards children. I don't have a clue as to why they removed Roshi's Drunken Monkey style in DB for the Mad Cow style. And the name Hercule is atrocious. Better get used to censorship though, because with all this terrorist business, you're gonna see a lot more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mornigndew Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 It doesn't matter to me, because I don't watch TV a lot. I don't like offensive language, but I do like to see action. For the protectcting the youth part, I don't think TV affect a person action (some do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Macaiodh Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 well, some of the dubs are appropriate. it is on a kids' network, after all. sometimes, dbz characters curse like sailors. but i do think the go overboard. i agree, changing mr. satan to hercule was just stupid. i mean, they show gohan trippin' nuts on "deadzone"...

Transtic Nerve Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 Censorship should not exist on Television. Ofcourse there are some exceptions. The main reason is, they think it effects kids. Well if America had any decent parents out there we wouldn't have to worry about it. Parents need to raise their kids, not TV. Even if some parents do raise their kids right, and kids are still influenced by TV, then they are stupid wastes of human crap. They should be iradicated from this planet. Jebus, how dumb do you have to be to do something Beavis and Butthead do, or something that just lacks common sense. It's the same with music... anyone who is directly influenced by an outside source other than the person(s) raising you should be shot multiple times and thrown in the ocean where sharks can feed on them so they'll stop eating the smart people! But sadly, stupid people run America and thus measure must be taken to protect the smart from the stupid and it ends up hurting us all. I don't get how hearing the word sh*t or f*ck can be harmful to ANYONE. For god's sake, my teacher talks like that everyday! When you are in highschool, if you don't hear those words, there's something wrong, so why does it matter if they aren't on TV? The only thing(s) I think should be censored and are, is stuff like Porno/sex and REALLY graphic scenes of death or something that would disturb most people. (by most people I mean 99%) What FUNi is doing is just stupid. Hyperbolic Time Chamber doesn't even make sense.... and there's nothing wrong with "The Room of Spirit and Time".... and Hell.... the word hell is said even in church! and they are censoring it why?.... There is no need for censoring in DBZ. Why censor? SO kids can grow up thinking they can fly and shoot energy blast and then fall off a building and die cause they thought they could be Gokou..... Funi can kiss my ketsu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Voodookanaka Posted November 2, 2001 Share Posted November 2, 2001 the sad fact is ppl are weak minded and are affected by television and media, a lot of audiences are passive and despite what u may think ppl are dumb. Hitler used media influences on ppl to get them to do what he wanted, in short ppl are stupid and so censorship has to exist. For modern day children primary socialization no longer comes from parents but from TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] yes, this makes sense. i've tried to say it so many times. obviously, what's "average" is the most prevalent opinion in society, otherwise it would not be average. & since the most "intelligent" people are in the minority, they are subsequently not the norm. therefore, the mediocre rules society. not that i think of most people as being naturally mediocre. it's just that society expects conformity. people don't want to be wierd, they want to be accepted. rejection is a strong influence toward mediocrity. there's just not much motivation to better onesself in american society.

Turkey Posted November 3, 2001 Share Posted November 3, 2001 Censoring should only be used sparingly, as in graphic violence and pornography. And that only in public TV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HAD NIGHTMARES ABOUT E.T.!!!!!!! wasn5 he supposed to be cool and a child's friend? i wouldn't go to sleep at night b/c i thought he was under my bed.. AND MY MATTRESS WAS ON THE FLOOR!!!! so is it that big a deal if Vegeta says f*ck or gives the finger? Is it that offensive that, yes, when they transform the Sailor Scouts are naked, or that the same thing applies to Mano Yhoko? People are so stupid! A 8 yr old can't hear the word f*ck on MTV, but on Cinemax can see ppl getting down and dirty? And the one that bothers me is the Haruka and Michiru are lesbians! Homosexuals! GAY!!! OMG!! America can't seem to cope.. in reality, SM isn't all that muhc of a kids show.. half the souts r gay and the cousin thing pissed me off. If parents would just tell their kids the truth then there would be no problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Voodookanaka Posted November 5, 2001 Share Posted November 5, 2001 ppls opinions clash though, I mean u say u dont mind swearing but think pornography shouldnt be allowed, where as to me Im not bothered in the slightest by the human body, but I thinkswearing should be censored where little kids are involved, as I hate modern days generation of cocky undisciplined kids who go around swearing.
