Mario Na Apeneu What Do You Think Of Characters That Have Their Genders Changed Due To Censoring?

What do you think of characters that have their genders changed due to censoring? - mario na apeneu

For example, Birdo from Super Mario. It was originally male, since the game was released first in the NA, but increased for women. In Japan, which has always been a man.
Or, white, and Gracie Saharah from Animal Crossing. There are men in Japan, but also women in all other versions.
There are also Poison from Final Fight. In the arcade version, she is a woman, but because Nintendo's policy to combat violence against women in the games of the time, the male changed. It is strange, but why not retcon a woman, Capcom retcon the whole time.

Or in the anime. I only know of two, a kind of Sailor Moon, and a type of Pokemon.

Are there examples in the literature?

Do you think that change to them as their true gender or sex?
Do you agree with the censorship?

I always think of them as their original sex. It seems absurd to change sex.

Wait. Why did they do that? My guess is that America is the Wazoo is paranoid about femininity in men, then it is accepted in Japan.

Gracie Man, "it is" a male voice. I think it is the Sahara, Kupo, but idk about White.
In Pokemon, James is a mockery, if not for everything. : P
But it makes me a little crazy ... Censorship of television programs in Japan is so low, Kupo, I mean, even the men dancing in underwear in the Japanese channel. But some United States has strict rules.

i dont think its much. UR not missing or something like that. it really does not change or show the game. It is unwise. so in reality the men against women in the fight against violence against women, because that has been said that the song of women fighting for them or something. also against the rights of men, because that's how men say enough good Arnt discuss a digital beatdown lol.
