Capitalism itself doesn't cause censorship.
capitalism + state violence = censorship
That is what you get when a nations population has a violent gang ruling them. Funimation could have published uncut videos but they would have problems dealing with the socially acceptable Mafia known as government. Know what i sayin bitch? I hate these freaky dusty bitch ass suit wearing evil violent election holding moldy genital having fuckers.

you just got propagandized by an internet dumbass bitch. peace fools
I am the real Shadow Bone. Some password stealing people were at a house party and they fucked with some things. Shout out to Lab Ant. No more infowars for me, for real this time, I haven't read his shit for months.... fuck Alex Jones that bitch ass speculating dirty "small government" ass licker... anarchist life for Shadow Bone all the way. Suck my dick and my uncles balls.

The valid one is your acknowledgment of the political realities of capitalist censorship of art in a culturally backward nation like the United States. Yes, anime distribution will be hurt if reactionaries who hate freedom of expression use their leverage to economically destroy a company that brings anime to the US for commercial sale. Such a position calls for polite understanding and regret for the political and economic bind a company might be in.

Now, I have watched the first four episodes of 'Dance' and I was sorely disappointed that things were blurred out so hamfistedly in the battle scene. Only the most juvenile of people insecure with their own sexuality are threatened by the fact that children are creatures with a sexuality as well. Are you so frightened of what you might do that you give thanks to God you did not accidentally see a drawing of a naked child?

The removal of the scenes does impact the plot as the strange sexual tension between the protagonists is part of the plot. The odd nature of the woman in child's body is part of the dramatic tension of the story. If you do not feel you can keep yourself from masturbating over this, please do not watch it. But for those of us who are adults, let us enjoy our art. Your arbitrary age limits for exploring sexuality in nonexploitive mediums is irrational.

Thankfully, in the face of capitalist control of commercial media distribution, there are still ways for people to enjoy uncensored productions through other methods. Cultural reactionaries afraid of their own sexuality do not control everything.

Pedophilia, defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is "sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object." So, despite the fact that you might be tempted to masturbate to 'Dance' you are NOT a pedophile unless that is your preferred focus for arousal.

But, please remember, this writer, and many others, are not at all aroused by watching the portrayal of sexual tension between creatures in adult and child bodies, and simply find the exploration of the relationship to be of cultural and dramatic interest.

That is all
