North American releases of [[Anime]] are frequently targeted with this accusation. [[Values Dissonance|Differing cultural norms]] create separate notions of what is okay to show on television, but some companies take extreme measures to stomp out any preliminary complaints from [[Media Watchdogs]] and [[Moral Guardians]]—so extreme, in fact, that they pick up a reputation for going undeniably overboard. This may be because of the American perception that [[Animation Age Ghetto|cartoons are for kids]], so that shows meant for slightly higher age groups that aren't ''specifically'' marketed to them are edited down. In fact, one of the most notable Bowdlerizers is actually ''named'' [[4Kids! Entertainment]]. (And you wouldn't ''believe'' how much hate they get for it.)
Line 25:
Note: Do not pronounce as "boulderise." That would mean [[Dishing Out Dirt|hurling boulders at someone]].<ref>The "bow" part of the word rhymes with "cow".</ref>
