And sometimes it's just funny like the guns edited out of Yugioh, and there hands still being in the same position of holding a gun, and pointing holding there hand out at someone.
It does bother me.
I'll expand on why.
I've made clamations. Painted pictures:water colors and acrylics. Made CG animations. Made sculptures. Made sticky animations. Directed and shot little short live action clips. Etc.
It would really piss me off if someone altered it because something in it offended their code of morals. They would not only change things so that the end viewer won't see what I made, they will also deprive the end viewer of everything I intended with it. I've been censored before and multiple times.
Here's a recent example: For halloween last year, I dressed up as a dude that got loved on. My hair was messy, I had lip stick kisses on my face, smeared on my lips, and kisses on my neck. My tie was loose, my top button was undone, and some of my shirt was untucked.
Our HR generalist refused to take my picture for the company magazine. She took everyone elses' picture but mine. She made it a point to tell me that my "outfit was not appropriate." Despite the fact that very similar things happen in TVG cartoons is kind what makes her perspective so rediculous.
Another time, most recently, I drew a comic on the dry-erase board at work. (We do this often.) My comic was work related with another system outage and the joke was that no one was around to fix it as usual. The punchline was my coworker exclaiming "WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT!" That's the airforce phonetic alphabet. It simply means "WTF!" I got in trouble for it. 😐 I had to remove the cartoon because it was "offensive." I was censored. 😐
