#2It's really interesting that such a bland, un-subversive show whose only mentions of sensitive topics are in bad throwaway jokes is so heavily censored. I guess a more interesting show would just not get aired at all.

#3I find that it's always interesting to THEN consider, okay -- while there's no centralized board or anything -- what does e.g. American censorship go after?

#4Aside from the fascinating topic, the data visualization and legwork gathering the data for this article is outstanding!

Anything you can think of you will be able to find that content. We simply don't have the kind of censorship that China has. Comparing the two is ridiculous.

#6> This added up to over one hour of deleted scenes, or nearly three full episodes of purely censored content
I would like to watch the edit of only deleted scenes strung together.

Profanity and nudity are the categories here, at least for broadcast tv.

It's a deeper level of censorship. Not only will you refrain from thinking about these things in a tolerant light, you will refrain from thinking about these things at all.
It chops pieces off reality when you do that.
Censorship is amazing. So popular (downvotes anyone?), so casually employed, yet so incredibly destructive.

#9Kinda weird that author categorized the incest joke "Howard: I lost my virginity to my cousin Jeanie" under LGBTQ censorship. When she mentioned the justification: "China has encouraged straight couples to marry and raise two to three children." it makes some sense, but incestuous relationships are not considered by themselves "LGBTQIA2S+"

#10I can see how this might backfire. You notice a censored jump and start to feel the itch of curiosity as to what it concealed. I had to watch several of the censored scenes whereas I would have never just randomly watched clips of the show.
Also, love the presentation on this page.
