#CENSOR BLEEP SAMPLES SERIES#

The lack of effort in keeping the dialect in the captioning throughout the series. “Having the dialogue altered took away the experience for me, and really made me question the use of proper English in place of the Jamaican Patois. “As someone who is HOH, I rely on captions to fill in the dialogue I may not hear (particularly if a character is speaking in a low tone or whisper),” Thompson explained.

Thompson also noted that some of the lyrics for music used in the series weren’t included in the captions, either. As early as the second episode, Bushmaster’s “Just tell him to test me no,” becomes “Just tell him not to test me,” in the captions-and the edits continue throughout the season. Bushmaster, the primary villain, speaks in Jamaican Patois-a dialect that the captions seem determined to clean up and clarify. After all, when the world is made for you to easily move through and function within, why would you have any reason to notice that others are excluded when trying to participate? It might seem like a small thing to a nondisabled person, but if a company as big and far-reaching as Netflix can’t get something as simple as accurate captions right, it’s worth wondering what else is slipping through the cracks when it comes to accessibility.Ī Twitter thread by Vilissa Thompson, a social worker and activist who founded the organization and blog Ramp Your Voice!, pointed me towards caption discrepancies in the newest season of Luke Cage, released on June 22. Many nondisabled people remain unaware of our struggles against an inaccessible society. It might mean schools telling a disabled student that it’s “too expensive” to provide them with needed accommodations, or a bar refusing entrance to a disabled person and their service dog.Ībleism and inaccessibility are systemic issues that disabled people grapple with on a daily basis. Ableism might mean broken captions when someone is trying to watch Netflix, or it might mean businesses refusing to make their building accessible to wheelchair users. A lack of access is a sign of inequality. It's amazing how replacing a few choice words can really change a steaming pile s*#! into something quite watchable, all thanks to implied profanity.Inaccurate captions (even just swear words) are an insidious sign of inaccessibility, which is a type of ableism, or discrimination against disabled people.Ī lack of access means disabled people can’t participate in the world the same way nondisabled people do. So here we have the Legend of Zelda cartoon, which has been improved upon in this collection of clips by changing all the characters from annoying, slow witted marketing tools into annoying, slow witted marketing tools with potty mouths. It was also rare to even find this show, that was a small part of the Super Mario Brothers show that starred two really, really Italian looking guys introducing cartoons where their characters sounded nothing like them. Everyone remembers the 'Excuuuuuse ME, Princess' line that is 100% a product of a cheesy, 80s cartoon version of one of the greatest Video Game franchises of all time. Enjoy.Ī long time ago before the internet, this was one of the most difficult to find cartoon series ever.

Unnecessary censorship sesame street, mmm. So, we've taken it upon ourselves to make a list of all the greatest most well-done unnecessarily censored moments from kids shows, cause there's a lot of crap out there. It sounds hokey, but when people pull it off, they really do some great things with this. This is when someone adds bleep-sounds to kids shows at moments where there's no swearing in the actual show, but the bleep makes it sound like there is - with hilarious consequences. These censored video clips from children's shows are just a little bit more hilarious the second time around when people are trying to make them dirtier than they really are.What are some of the best unnecessarily censored kids' show clips? One of the greatest things that YouTube, as a community, has ever done is the act of unnecessary censorship of Kids shows. Unnecessarily censored kids show clips are a shining example of how something completely innocent can be made X-rated with the addition of a simple bleep.
