It’s worth noting that in the US Ninjas and nunchucks weren’t censored but the fear of two stick connected with a chain was and still is very real in city and state weapons laws. Combine that with our hard on for firearms means there are many places in my lovely country where you can open carry a firearm legally and a concealed one with an easily acquired license but would be breaking the law if you were carrying nunchucks.
Clearly a National Nunchuk Association needs to be formed to politically lobby for the idea that a Bad Guy With a Gun can be stopped by a Good Guy With Nunchuks. The second amendment can absolutely be weaponised for this purpose (nunchuks are arms you have a right to bear) On a similar note, our government is now going after katanas to curb knife crime (????) so give them 60 more years and a full Ninja Turtle ban will eventually be enacted.
When the ESRB was established they didn't even use the E rating at first. It used to be K-A (kids through adults.) Even though I was a kid when it started I thought it was stupid to have those big dumb rating stamps on the box covers. Like thank god they're there to tell me that Bomberman was appropriate for 6 year olds even though it featured mild violence. No shit dude it's fucking Bomberman.

I ADORE your content!! Man, i remember feeding quarter after quarter into that TMNT arcade machine when i was a kid.
Ah, thanks for reminding me of Parasite Eve with that bit there.
this is one of the best videos I've ever watched in my life. and it's about video game censorship, of all things!!
I love this video, so I'm kind of glad to have an excuse to rewatch it.
