like power rangers, transformers. two of my theories are these.

1. christians complain anything that isnt agree with their views. i mean seriously they complain on almost everything.
2.they censor it so that when they release the uncensor edition on dvd people would buy the dvd.

Not just Christians, EVERY recognized religion in the United States is a cause for censorship, among other things. There are more MORE reasons for censorship than beyond those two. And even then, the second reason you stated is incorrect. It's not the film/television show makers that censor their productions, it's the stations and companies that air them.

Actually, it's more than that. American Parents are very over protective of their children and don't want them "exposed" to even the most ridiculous things because they think it would mess with the way they want to raise their children. Look back at when Power Rangers first came out, parents thought that kids would believe it is all real that that they would hurt somebody because of the show.

Yeah, that's just american parents. A good majority of them are far too over protective of their kids, so they're forced to censor things more than they really need to be.

lol imagine if the parents were to find out the original story lines of each sentai
XD lol

knowing them, they would try to ban all "violent" shows because of that. They even tried getting rid of TMNT at one point.....

lol imagine garo XD
Parent: It has to much violence
Child: I NEED MOAR!!!!

Censorship out here irks me. When I was a kid, all the shows that I watched were fairly dark: My favorite Sonic The Hedghog series was based more on the comics and therefore, darker. TMNT and Gargoyles, obviously, it was expected. But when I was the typical unicorn and fairies girl: My Little Ponies, Care Bears, Rainbow Bright, you wouldn't think it looking at the names but ALL of them were pretty dark in areas. Especially the movies.
In fact the first version of The Little Mermaid that I watched was the "anime" one which was exactly like the original fairy tale...no fluffing up the storyline like Disney did (though I loved that she got her prince. I got the happy ending I wished for there). I loved stuff like The Last Unicorn, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and American Tail...again, all darker stories.
And did I ever get into trouble or hurt myself? Nope. Not ever. If anything being subjected to the series/movies/books that I was made me incredibly creative. I started writing when I was 11. Thanks to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (I kid not. My first OTP was Tommy/Kimberly. I regret nothing).
I guess what I'm trying to say is: my parents never coddled me. They were protective, but they educated me enough to tell the difference between fantasy and reality and I ended up turning out all right. A bit insane but all right. I'm completely harmless, honestly
I hear stories nowadays where children try to copy Naruto moves and get hurt or worse, killed, and think to myself: what is wrong with parents today? They're all overprotective about what their kids watch and then they're nowhere to be found when something does go wrong.
...*shakes head* I promise to be a parent like my mom and dad. Seriously. I think my kids will be MUCH better off (when and if I have any)

^couldn't sum it up any better than that.

U would have one with Jiro..he3

Censorship, there r 3 thing I hated in this this world, right now, they're:
1. Negative Person (Example people's who always wrote about negative thing in a forum, ex. I hate christian, I hate american n stuff like that)
2. Dubbing
3. Censhroship

Orphenoch King, I'm sorry but, doesn't dubbing and censorship go hand in hand? Because dubbing changes dialog and/or visual for the audience just like censorship

*blushes furiously* Orphenoch! That's private!

*in reality just spit out her soda when she saw that and started grinning ear to ear*

wolfengrl: So you drink soda while navigating on the Internet. Next time you open your labtop, don't bring your soda with you unless you're sure that nothing is going to surprise you.

Yupz, they're the same. I just seperated them to make it more clearly that I really hate it..he3
U're right BoukenSilver, dubbing changes dialog and/or visual for the audience just like censorship. The reason for dubbing in some country is to censorship the language (it's always happen in my country, they even dub power ranger series *hikz*).

thanks for the bouken.. waki waki niki niki da..

I'll make sure to do that, lol.
