[@ThanatosRW]

There's an issue with Fire Emblem's inclusion on this list. See, the Western release seems to have taken some liberties with their translation of the game, either deliberately or accidentally. In Bernadetta's case, the lines removed were added by the translation team and the changes take it back to what was actually said. That line was likely chosen because it could be fixed with editing, rather than having to call in the VAs to rerecord it. Because...there's a lot of lines like these apparently.

Changing that Fire Emblem line to just "he'd do things like tie me to a chair" with no elaboration makes it way worse in my opinion. Like, in the context of years of abuse that leaves way too much to the imagination without the clarifying text that they removed and makes it seem like a lot of really awful stuff (not to say it isn't already awful, it is)

Honestly, first thing that came to mind was that her dad was some BDSM freak, involving rape. I'm glad that it didn't go there, it is, after all, a Nintendo-licensed game, so my mind going that far, might just be the result of seeing things like that in other media. So yeah, it's way worse after they changed it., leaving shit like that to the imagination is never good.

The revised line is actually more accurate to the original Japanese, so I wouldn't really call it censorship.

The change to Bernadetta's line actually makes me sad. Her original line really drives home what sort of terrible upbringing she had, and solidified my hatred of her father. It explained why she was the way she was, and really made me empathize with her.

[@ohnoitschris]

they kinda made it sound worse, because like, an abusive father figure tying his daughter to a chair sounds like the start of an incest situation But there was nothing sexual about it. It was about psychological torture, a pretty damn horrifying subject that's often not discussed, and they kinda... just... welp.
