Remember when Western media and journalists used to decry foreign censors for censoring stuff like this?
How infuriating is it that not only is something this innocuous being censored, but when it comes to something far more explicit, degenerate and vile like a Drag Show “for Kids” it’s all dicks out and tits out?
I don't get the effort when they have ecchi shows like 'How not to summon a Demon Lord's and 'You thought there was never a girl online' which HEAVILY plays on the fanservice
Feels like Crunchyroll has the same problem as Amazon in that there's two different teams working on different things, one that's desperate to censor and the other knowing sex and violence sell.
Possibly and this is the laziest approach to doing that, this could be the 'don't attribute to malice that can be explained by not wanting to put in effort'
I was a casual viewer of anime and only did normie non-hipster stuff. My list is like, AoT, Death Note, FMA & Brotherhood, Trigun, Berserk ('97 ofc), Samurai Champloo, Dragon Ball, DBZ & recently Super. Anyway, I know it must be different for a truer fan or an outright better person than me, but personally I've never paid to watch anime. Free services are always a brief search away and if I could not find it for free I would do something else with my time.
Society is so decadent, I am so spoiled, I waste my life and that is my investment. Everything is begging me to spend my time on it. Not even my money, but me myself. We are the product, that is reality and the current stage in the societal arms race. So I'm gonna go ahead and slide into my leverage as a data object, and it's the interest of any active collector of me to adapt against that in turn. Which is to say Crunchyroll gets to "fuck off and deal with it" just like I get to "fuck off and deal with it" when I don't like something that is none of my business and also impossible to stop anyhow.
So anyway lol. I don't think charging for the service and also censoring it makes much sense.
I love me some anime and I love for them to be successful, but realistically paying for crunchyroll has most of that go to shitty localizers and the like. Only a small small portion goes to the actual anime studios and producers.
If you ever feel the desire to go the extra mile to support something, buy the source material the show is based on if there is one, or buy the BD's for the show. Really don't feel bad though. This shit gets shown on TV for free over there. And if you need subtitles, there are plenty of groups that make fansubs for free so no need to feel bad about not supporting shitty localizers.
Fansubs are dying out. Most of what gets release now is people just ripping the subs from CrunchyRoll, so money going to CrunchyRoll is actually actively degrading the quality of what we can access.
Its certainly nowhere near as vibrant of a community as it was ten years ago when every series had multiple decent groups unless it was complete dogshit that no one cared about.
There's a lot of stuff they censored that was borderline softcore porn, but there was also a lot of stuff that barely breached PG rating. For example, the part where she's walking up to the bath and we see like a quarter of her legs. Very odd.
Not trying to defend it here but is this a case of them getting the censored version from the japanese materials but the uncensored version was only on the premium channel or blu ray in japan (this happens alot with simulcasting) or did crunchyroll actually censor shit themselves?

Could it be different audiences they want to market to with different content ratings?

assume malice always
That makes more sense than what I thought.
Explain to me again why I should ever avoid pirating anime when the localization teams do shit like this.
Ahahaha imagine watching anime on crunchyroll. That being said....seems extremely inconsistent with other things they allow.

And woke productions like High Guardian Spice
That's why you pirate and dont support these 3rd parties that ruin anime .If you want to support the anime then support them directly through merch.
Hoist the flag, sail the seas, and don't buy from Crunchyroll.
