The BBC channel CBBC has censored a mention of a character being non-binary in the Transformers Earthspark cartoon during Pride Month.
So, robots blasting each other in the face, body horror and reckless child endangerment is “meh, whatevs?” but this gets censored.
Oookaaay, BBC.
On a side note, Earthspark is such a neat show. The sound and visual design is fantastic, the voicework is top notch and the animation is really well done. There’s a series one episode where the Seekers are attacking Prime and Megatron and it’s just pure visual poetry.
The censored video played.
Then I tried the uncensored video.

I actually suspect there may be different versions available and there’s some tiny flag or label somewhere that says one is available to do and so audience or distribution and they picked that one, because it was there. Nobody even knew what the difference was.
Same reason but a different side effect makes it so one gets flagged for licensing and one doesn’t.
I cannot believe this is real what the fuck
The space robot from Planet Cybertron has to have a PENIS or a VAGINA or its GROOMING
