Bowdlerise/New Media: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* Nintendo's tendency to remove blood from its games was referenced in ''[[Melee's End]]'' episode 5:

'''Star Fox:''' [[Ocarina of Time|Your blood is green.]] }}

* The first half of [[Red vs. Blue]]'s second season was criticized for a noticeable absence of vulgarity. Rooster Teeth tried toning down the language after receiving messages from people who wanted the videos to be appropriate to [[Not Safe for Work|watch at work]]. When the removal of language was met with an even worse reaction, the cast and crew decided to abandon the idea. The hilariously over-the-top profanity of Caboose's "mental image" of Church served as the point where the show's dialog returned to form.

* Parodied in ''[[Arfenhouse]] Teh Movie Too'', where one character says "ow" while the subtitle shows "FUCK!!!" struck out before it.

* Also parodied in [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]]'s review of ''Action 52'', where they show a clip of the "TV Version" of the review:

* Lampshaded in [[Paw Dugan]]'s ''Top 9 Composers'' video, where Paw is [[Trapped in TV Land|Trapped In Game Land]]. In the ''[[Wolfenstein 3D]]'' portion, he comes upon Bowdlerized versions of the Hitler portraits and comments that something's missing. After a quick [[Fade Out]] and [[Fade In]], we see a crudely painted toothbrush mustache applied to the painting as Paw comments "Much better!"

* Forumer (a free internet forum provider) decided to update their TOS to become more child and general audiences friendly. They also decided to run a program that changed all sorts of words on ''every single Forumer forum'' to "work safe" alternatives. The change was based around cooking - for example, 'fuck' became 'bake'. But some of them were just bizarre. 'Little' was auto-changed to 'cilantro', 'video' was changed to 'recipe', 'girl' was changed to 'steak'...
