Racists the lot of them. >_> And yeah so true.

Just change the colour of the fluid that arises from injury to anything but red(and possibly white too on occasion) and you can ignore most censorship. That's cause it is the colour red that we are psychologically associating with blood, or rather with pain and death. Any other colour matters not. I mean, a wound doesn't just put out red but also yellow and transparent as well, which is still blood but without red blood cells but it is the red pigment that triggers us. Ironically Sword Art Online managed to do it differently from Digimon but with greater cutting sfx. Wounds were always highlighted with red though it wasn't blood but in the final episode, lo and behold! you got actual red blood gushing from wounds. I have to say I did not expect that at all. Spending a few seasons watching mostly censored shit like Toriko and series with no bloodshed can make you forget that not all of them are made that way. I mean I totally thought Soul Eater Not would go without having blood since the first half was mostly slice-of-life with violence resulting at most a bloody-nose but then it got serious like its original and had proper bloodshed with terrible wounds. Ah censoring of violence.... how it confuses the youth of today.... Remember the times where you used to play-wrestle as a kid, with choke-holds, kicks, tackles and throws and no one called it brutal violence even if it lead to accidental bleeding or fracture? Yeah.

Sorry for the rant. DX
