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

The way they censored the gay out of Steven Universe in Russia was just comically stupid. There's a couple, Ruby and Sapphire, with Ruby being a more hot-headed butch type, and Sapphire being a cool-headed femme. So, Russia gives Ruby a goatee:

Even though, mind you, the dub still has a female VA for her. Anyway, last season of the show, Ruby and Sapphire get married. The showrunner didn't want them to be able to censor it as easily, so she put Ruby in a dress and Sapphire in a suit:

So, naturally, they put the goatee on Sapphire this time:

Which kind of just makes it double gay, I think?

Just regular gay, I think, considering the dub implied that they're both men.

Well but normally they're lesbians, so, when they're suddenly both men, still with female VAs, it feels like double gay to me 😅

The goatee on Sapphire instead has me dying. Never even seen this show but that's amazing.
