I intensely dislike mosaic censorship also, but having said that -
Ah! The irony of that statement along with that old propaganda picture
"If a stupid choice got made from pre WW2 era" - like perhaps the stupid choices made by the same class of wealthy conservative elites who created the conditions for the 1st & 2nd world wars through economic/trade isolationist policies, inducing famines and poverty among multiple nations, some of whom elected leaders promising they would make the nation great again, (sound familiar?) and proceeded into dictatorship with various nationalistic campaigns resulting in jingoistic fervour, and atrocities against a conveniently labelled 'other' (Jewish & non-white & non-hetero & disabled people were the targets of choice for eugenics-inspired Nazism in both post-depression Germany and US. Korea & Manchuria were the targets for Japanese imperialism in a bid to gain oil & resource supplies with which the US, UK & allies previously had a trade stranglehold over resource-poor Japan - this was further cut off with allied trade restrictions and a further oil embargo which led directly to the Pacific Theatre of WW2).
Better that you don't get into a political argument highlighting Japan's right wing OTT censorship or imply it is worse than US or Western censorship, without including the overall historical and contemporary context of present-day western politics, not just w.r.t. censorship and the hypocritical and nonsensical crackdown against certain types of drawn porn, drawn or written depictions of incest, etc, in a media landscape filled with uncensored excessive depictions of gore & violence.
Let's not pretend there is actually a separation of church and state, when corrupt government regularly submits to church & special interest lobby groups to make life generally more miserable, if not yet successfully criminalising consumers of porn, while at the same time those funding the conservative lobby groups indulge in their own hedonistic excesses until they neglect to pay enough hush money and their sordid exploits are splashed over tabloid covers.
So, yes, in summation, the counterpoint is also true:
The US and allied western nations are the same traditional ppl from the pre WW2 era, (actually the US traditional puritanical origins go back to the 1700s) - if a stupid choice got made, e.g."our oil barons want some more oil, let's pretend that oil-rich nation has WMD or is funding terrorists or is mistreating their citizens or needs regime change because whatever
