So in the manga Bleach there's a character called Giselle who is a guy that pretends to be a girl and based Yumichika exposes him as a guy and Yumichika says that he smells of that *Ahem" sticky white stuff that guys have (yeah he actually said that more directly then what i said too)

Obviously this would be considered transphobic to the woke crowd because it directly calls out the guy's biology as evidence for him being a guy.
In the anime they kept the part where Yumichika calls him a guy but they didnt include that other line about the sticky white stuff even in the Japanese version that was released overseas,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Sck1p4CGc&lc=UgySgXAujD1z77_4ABF4AaABAg&ab_channel=Animeiko
but i heard that within Japan itself, they DID keep that line .Does anyone else know? Was the scene literally just cut outside of Japan?
Haven't caught up yet to that episode so might edit when I watch it later. To be honest it might not be woke it could be Japanese/Asian sensibilities. They're not big on bodily fluids being portrayed, the biggest example is how puke is replaced by rainbows than, well looking like puke.
Blood's fine but semen might be in the same category as vomit.
Wow, I thought that was just Aqua in Konosuba, and I chalked that up to her being a goddess.
Now that I think about it, I haven't seen much vomit in anime at all...maybe if I actually sat down to watch some Berserk.
Though you say they don't like bodily fluids being portrayed, yet I've certainly seen my fair share of BLOOD in anime.
Second [?] episode of MHA has rainbows too when Uraraka throws up after saving Deku from going splat on the floor so it's quite widespread.
Huh, I put that down to superhero powers or something, didn't realise it was a general censorship mechanism.
I forgot about that, you're right.
Yeah vomit is HEAVILY censored in Asia, I remember as far back as watching My Love Story that vomit was censored for rainbows. Actually thinking about it, I think even old school Pokemon did that too.
Blood they have no issues with, rip and tear and decapitation all round lol
I wonder if there's a biological component to this. Vomiting is contagious. If one member of the tribe vomits, that could be an indication that something is wrong with the meal the tribe ate and other people may vomit too.
Asians are a very conformist people, so they may be more prone to this contagious behavior.
