Boing Boingâs Mark Frauenfelder, out of curiosity to see if there was a way his young daughter could watch Game of Thrones with him, googled the term âcensored game of thronesâ.
And whaddya know, such a thing existed.
People have gone to the trouble of taking complete seasons of HBOâs smash hit show, carefully editing out the worst parts, then collecting the remains and releasing them on torrent sites.
Whatâs most interesting about this isnât just the fact itâs being done, but whatâs being cut and whatâs staying behind. One uploader says âAll of the nudity has been removed, some extreme swearing removed, and some other small things,â have been taken out.
Now, if youâve seen the show, youâd know that alongside the nudity and swearing is a lot of violence. Itâs weird that copious amounts of throat-cutting and claret splatter get to stay while female breasts are the thing thatâs got to go.
