While I don't agree with the censorship, I'm gonna point out they've done things like this multiple times going back over a decade with this particular #anime.

I personally think it's more style than any sort of new censorship.

Tite Kubo (the mangaka) has always been known to have a bit of a friction with his publishers and such for a number of reasons.

Small warning. There are a few instances run by *concern trolls* where they promote particular #anime, then try to shame you for liking them.

"Local 4 spoke with an employee from a psychiatric hospital who revealed major concerns about the care being given to its children."

"Bonner is a teacher inside the Walter Reuther. They said the children have not been allowed outside to get some fresh air for months."

"Bonner said the children have been stuck inside the hospital since June 27. Local 4 also obtained photos of the classrooms that showed the windows covered up.

“There’s a view of some flat dark brown paper bag like plastic or film on my window where they can only see like about 12 inches on the very top,” Bonner said."

"with so-called "give us ID" arguments"
Who doesn't want to upload their ID to visit a porn site? Well, obviously no one does.

I noticed a few of the usual suspects (mainly religious, go figure) trying to attack porn and advocating censorship in recent weeks, therefore it was an imperative that I made these scientific points.

If you see censorship (historically, this cheeky bunch has tended to try to censor video games the most), or someone trying to invade privacy (which probably has the same intent) with so-called "give us ID" arguments, I'd suggest writing to MPs on a territory, state, and federal level to oppose that.

Basically conversion therapy.

"About 10 months into the program, however, Matt started to feel an intense sense of self-loathing, which gave way to thoughts of self-harm. “If you’re identifying every little thought that comes into your head as a demonic personal flaw or addiction, you start to hate yourself,” he says. “I thought about suicide at about 10 months in because I was buying into this stuff deeply. You start to believe something is deeply broken with you.”"

"Despite the lack of evidence supporting Harker’s methods, bishops employed by the church regularly referred members to his practice, with Harker specifically including resources for bishops on his website."

"FARMINGTON, Utah — A therapist based in Davis County has been charged with abusing a "vulnerable" woman over a span of several years "under the guise of providing her therapy."

Maurice Wade Harker, 54, was charged Tuesday with aggravated abuse of a vulnerable adult and kidnapping — both second-degree felonies.

According to the charging documents, Harker repeatedly abused a client of his between 2012 and 2021. The woman suffered serious injuries throughout this time, and she said she even thought she might die during one of the sessions.

The woman said Harker used aggressive, hands-on and even violent tactics, claiming he had to do so because she was possessed by a demon. The victim had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses. She had been abused as a child, court documents stated, and Harker "preyed upon her vulnerabilities."

Prosecutors say Harker's repeated assaults resulted in multiple physical injuries. These included a broken thumb, a knee injury, black eyes from being elbowed by Harker, and neck injuries. She said he would even pin her down and cover her mouth and nose, claiming this would help get rid of her "demon."

The Rolling Stone article states that Harker is "fairly well-known in the [Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints] community." In 2005, he founded Life Changing Services, a pornography addiction treatment group that appears to be based on LDS principles, but not directly sponsored or supported by the church."

"addiction" In other words, normal sexual desires.

"Sons of Sacrifice, for “men with same sex attractions who want sexual self-mastery”"

Of course, they would have a program like this, although it appears everyone suffers equally there.

"Such recollections, however, are also intermingled with feelings of shame, self-hatred, and even, in some cases, thoughts of suicide as a result of undergoing treatment."

The effects of the program in general.

That is like if I built a giant hamster wheel, rigged it up to a power generation device, ran inside it, and called myself "Big Energy".
