1001 Spears and Censorship

1001 Spears head Trigger Happy the Gremlin has firmly stood against censorship, especially regarding LGBTQIA+ content, but has let his works get censored in other ways due to local regulations and other reasons.

## Venturian Battle

As an LGBTQIA+ show, Venturian Battle was banned in the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Kenya, Samoa, and other regions (mostly in the Middle East) by default, but the show wasn't given an official Russian or Singaporean release either due to the homophobic practice of rating LGBTQIA+ content 18+ and 21+, respectively, in those countries. While startlingly minimal LGBTQIA+ media representation is allowed in China, some episodes were officially released with no related cuts, edits instead concerning sight of bloodshed. All sight of white "blood" aside from stains is removed from the Chinese release, specifically the brief sprays when characters are shot and the splatters on the screen when the central figure of a scene is grazed. Depictions of panties are also digitally removed.

## LEGO Batman

LEGO Batman: End of the Beginning was conceived as a censored cut of LEGO Batman: Forces of Havoc that Trigger could show to a friend without causing gore-related triggers. The film grew with Trigger's greater passion in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and his rebellious spirit, however, so queer scenes and historic targets of censorship in some countries, such as nunchaku and shurikens, were added to the film. Given his embargo on Russian and Singaporean releases, however, Trigger didn't give the film an official release in Russia or Singapore in the IWFC Realverse, although the real video might only get blocked as a result of copyright issues.

## Venture

### International Censorship

* A darkly comical loading screen tip encouraging players to feed bread and chocolate to birds was removed to avoid real people trying to do so, although other tips that could lead to death if followed in real-life are still present, specifically the one claiming that people can survive indefinitely if locked in a refrigerator.
* The "Antifa" player model was renamed "Taliban" as Trigger wanted to avoid juxtaposing Antifa with neo-Nazism upon learning more about the organization, claiming that he planned to rename the Neo-Nazi model "Proud Boy" but decided that equating Antifa to Proud Boys would still violate his political beliefs.

### Chinese Censorship

* Nightmares related to cannibalism, ghosts, and Succubi/Incubi were removed, the last of which is the only LGBTQIA+ content that was removed from the game but this was only done because of the incest implications if the player controls Robert Jacob during the sequence.
* Like Venturian Battle, all sight of discolored blood is removed.
* All creature models are made bipedal to avoid showing the death of animals.
* Stagnum flashbacks with antagonists modeled after Chinese portrayers are removed due to "negative portrayal of Chinese people."
* The Chinese release of the game hasn't gotten any updates since 2021 due to the CCP's views on "radical feminism" in media, which the portrayal of women in content added by the 2022 updates offended.
* Sight of panties and nudity are digitally removed.
