Editing ReBoot (section)

=== Network censorship ===
The show's early jokes at the expense of [[Standards and Practices|Board of Standards and Practices]] (BS&P) came from frustration encountered by the show's makers brought about by an abundance of script and editing changes that were imposed upon Mainframe before episodes were allowed to air. These changes were all aimed at making the show "appropriate" for kids, and to prevent even the slightest appearance of "inappropriate" content, imitable violence or sexuality.<ref name=wired>{{cite magazine | last=Van Bakiel| first=Roger| url = https://www.wired.com/1997/03/reboot-3/ | title=Before ''Toy Story'', there was...

The character Dot was considered too sexualized by the BS&P even though she was "never one to expose much cleavage" so the animators were forced to make her breasts less curvy and form them into a lumpy "monobreast", as lightly referred to by the staff. However, starting with season three, after severing ties with ABC, the "monobreasts" of all adult female characters were replaced with more anatomically correct versions. In another case, the word "hockey", as well as [[ice hockey|the sport]] itself, was cut in some countries as it was supposedly used as a vulgar slang term there. In the episode "Talent Night", one scene of Dot giving her brother Enzo "a sisterly kiss on the chin" was cut due to BS&P's fear of promoting [[incest]], an insinuation which Pearson described as "one of the sickest things I've heard."<ref name=wired />
