The first part might've been believable....until she blocked people as then you know she wasn't being honest.
Japanese culture is when you apologise, you do it big, public and accept the rage that comes with it. I saw nuclear officials bow on public TV for fukushima, if you can't do that as a minimum for the censorship then you aren't being honest.
i dont think she's being honest either. "its for other countries standards" is a bullshit excuse (And i've seen wokes in Japan use this excuse often to gaslight otaku over why changes need to be made to things) and its not like other countries can't just have their own censored version only for their country if it really came down to it without the original being censored, like how things were always done before.
And there are countries that don't allow LGBT to broadcast but that doesn't stop there from being yaoi or yuri anime around.
I don't know anything about this so forgive me for acting like a tourist, but if you don't believe her then what do we think the reason is? Is she secretly a blue-hair commie? Or a Megalia type feminist?
That she was told to do this by someone else on the project "for other countries standards" seems just as believable of an answer, and I don't really see a contradiction there.
She's acting like she HAS to censor, that its outside her control. This is something i don't believe. (whether its her decision or the team decision doesn't matter, its not something that needed to be done at all , but she's acting like it does) like i said other countries could have their own censored version without effecting the original if it came down to it and also there's countries that dont allow lgbt to broadcast but that doesnt stop there from being yaoi and yuri anime.
I mean if the job title is accurate that she's just an artist then it really could be outside her control though. The animators don't get the final say, if the director or producers dig their heels in with "no bikini" then there's no way to stop that without immolating your career.
If she's not doubling down like a the real zealots usually do, then there's a real chance the producers are chasing the ESG bux and forcing the artists into this.
