Yeah the Sailor Moon Cloverway dub didn't take away the lesbianism so much as make it more cousin focused than the original. It was a...choice.

This might be the funniest instance of that app's weird censorship decisions.

Really the cherry on top of that app is that you don't even buy the chapters, they're rented.

I'm assuming the rationale behind this is that censoring things is probably required in some of the countries they want to roll this out in, and they've decided to take the cheapest option and just do a one-size-fits-all approach and ran everything through some kind of automated process with results all over the place.

They've moved on from calling things gay. They're mad because an internet manga was made trans instead of gay in a recent commercial translation. They're calling it "LGBT erasure."

Machine learning remains a way to obscure skilled labor (artistic, intellectual, etc.) by transforming it into "unskilled" labor (curation that separates garbage outputs from useful ones, tedious and repetitive training, etc.) and pretending that it's a "technological solution". The funniest part about machine learning is when the people who use it don't realize that it doesn't supplant labor, only changes it, and try to use it direct out of the box. That's how you end up censoring a knee, or all of Garfield, or whatever.

So Square Enix apparently just released an app for manga and people are upset because it involves a lot of microtransactions--Shonen Jump charges $2 a month and you can read 100 chapters per day, while Square's version... I'll just quote the Kotaku article

The other thing that people are upset about is that Manga Plus also throws censorship bars over what they've deemed to be more NFSW content but at least from a few examples I've seen on Twitter, that appears to have been very loosely defined.

You can get banned for taking screenshots too. I know Squenix loves a money grab but that’s such a mess.

You take a non-racy photo of a person, and cover certain parts of the person's body while leaving others exposed. Apparently it's often done with swimsuit photos, to make the woman in them look naked?

I don't think it originates with the Mormons, though...looks like it started in Japan.

They essentially take pictures of ladies in bikinis and photoshop opaque bubble-like effects around all the clothed parts, so the only thing visible is bare skin. It comes out more :nws: than you might expect.

I hope that explanation makes some sense. It's not even the weirdest Mormon sex thing, soaking is my personal fave.

I looked it up, and it isn't even a Mormon thing. It's a Japanese thing. (Presumably good Mormons aren't allowed to look at the bikini pics, far less the bubbled versions.)
