This is from the same country that prohibited blood in video games in the 90s. I had a copy of Duke Nukem that I picked up from some street vendor in Seoul that was identical to the American one, but all of the blood was colored white. I'm not sure that seeing a monster's head explode in a shower of what I will generously refer to as "milk" did anything positive for my moral alignment.
- HideousKojima 3y agoReminds me of when I watched Fist of the North Star several years ago. All of the blood spurts were censored to be bright white, but there was one episode where two dead guys were drenched in blood and that wasn't censored for some reason . The most hilarious though is in part 3 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. The main character is a minor so they censor his face any time he smokes. But in one episode there's a bad guy who can imitate people's faces, and he imitates the main character and smokes (without any censorship).
- cubefox 3y agoThis isn't much stranger than US American TV replacing "bad words" with beeps.
- qwytw 3y agoI would guess one outcome of that was a significant increase in bad words used on non live TV. Since they'll be beeped out it's not really big deal anymore.

- drewcoo 3y agoTo make it less obvious it was all about the FCC's rules, translator microbes didn't translate a lot of slang, whether it was Earth-swearing or not.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoI have a couple of Nintendo Wii games where there's a setting for the blood to be red or green. Not sure if that was a requirement by Nintendo or just was something publishers at the time did but it did stick out in my mind back then as being silly.
