Saw this often back then on Reddit. People wanting to curse, but the writing f*ck. If you want to curse, curse. If you think it would be too rude to spell out, just fucking don't.

Same vibes as Hentai with blurred titties.

isn't that goofy-ass japanese censorship laws or something

hentai are Animation right? so they have a blurry texture for tits or do they blur it after?

[–] SmokingKinoko@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they blur ir after. Just Japanese law prevents the showing of genitalia. Not other parts of the body. So only the vagina and penis are normally censored. However is some cases the asshole is censored too but it's not as often I don't think.

Asshole has to be censored when it's being penetrated afaik, though sometimes they just censor it along with the rest for whatever reason, probably less effort to draw.

After, which is really dumb because a lot of artists are spending time making the art only to have to put a black bar over their work for no real logical reason.

I think that's mostly when people use speech to text. I know gboard automatically censors words like that.

It's a setting you can change

[–] Neve8028@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I know, but I'm just explaining why it happens. Most people just leave it default.

[–] drislands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

For sure. The only time it's appropriate is when quoting but you can't use the exact text for whatever reason.
