Americans are so prude

So your answer to my question is: if the show becomes big, which essentially means that it acquired a huge fanbase in the west that watched the show, then the kids, who decide to watch because of its popularity, going to see the show with characters wearing more clothes and the guy cooking  and assume that girls in bikinis and men with serious gains in nothing but a speedo are wrong,  or are you saying kids who are already fans of the show, which they watched in the west, are going to look at the japanese version of the show they already watched and assume that its wrong because the version they originally watched didn't have girls in bikinis and muscle men in jock straps or vice versa (see japanese version and the west version that made them fans in the first place is wrong).

In the first instance, that's basically saying yes to my question that was kids watching show with characters wearing more clothes and the guy cooking  and assume that girls in bikinis and men with serious gains in nothing but a speedo, in a version they haven't watched yet, is wrong. Which doesn't make still doesn't make sense because they haven't watched it yet. Beyond my question, all instances you mention assume that the show became popular in the west with kids in spite of the censorship, just like shows you mentioned,  Naruto or Dragoon Ball. The scenes you mentioned are unimportant, as you say. So again, what actually makes this a terrible decision?

Well, now I know what those full cover garbs are called. Thanks for teaching me that.

As for the question, well, I don't know how that goes among that culture, or religion? And taking kids to the shooting range I suppose is also part of American culture, thought I am not so for that either... (I had to tell people in my old job many times not all Americans have guns, haha)

And if that is true with the new generation in Germany, I am sorry to hear about that : (

I mean this is a kids show...furthermore why do you guys care so much about a children's show?

This is pretty tame compared to that one Pokemon episode where James had some big boobs.

I realize this now. You are correct. I am not. Should have looked closer before commenting.

People complaining about swimsuits and thongs and I'm here looking back on One Piece, Pokemon, Yugioh and a massive plethora of anime that has been censored for so many years that date all the way back to the 80's and even before that. Hell plenty of orther corps censor games and have done before Nintendo and still do.

But hey it's Nintendo so lets paint a target instead of just targeting all the countries that have their own forms of censorship.

You could argue that it's natural though. Bodys are bodys. Everyone has one, theres no shame in it. Body positivity it a good thing for a kid to learn. Any sexual connotation would fly right over a childs head anyways. When i was small my parents used to be naked around me a lot (nothing wierd or sexual about it of course, just having a bath toghether, changing, whatever..) and it's just normal. I also used to run around naked at the beach all the time, as did all the other kids. Sexuality never even entered our heads. We were all about smimming and sandcastles. (I'm from euope though, maybe we are more lenient with this kind of thing, but it really just strikes me as natural, nothing sexual about it at all.)

While I don't really mind the bikini change for the girls either way, the one for the burly, shiny men into....a cook....is just silly.

Well, personally I also had to look twice because it's in "Nintendo Discussion".

I am more against the removal of complete scenes.
