Interesting examples salvaged from the The Wiki Rule cleanup

Airlocked: CECEpedia is written to be an In-Universe fan wiki, functioning less as an actual reference for the game and more as a collaborative Word of Saint Paul generator focusing on the IC fandom's knowledge and theories.
Azur Lane: The Azur Lane Wiki, and another Azur Lane Wiki, and yet another Azur Lane Wiki. The Koumakan wiki is generally preferred by the community. The ALG wiki is primarily used for its repository of sprites and L2D animations from the game.
beatmania: For English speakers there's RemyWiki, for Japanese speakers there's BEMANIWiki. Both are general Bemani wikis that cover IIDX in addition to the rest of the Bemani games. RemyWiki in particular started out as a IIDX-centric wiki before later expanding to other games.
Beck: Whiskeyclone.net, originating in the 90's, it's less of a wiki, and more of a fansite, as it's only ran by one person. However, it contains lryics, information and notes on literally everything Beck has ever released — or in some cases, hasn't released, so it pretty much serves the same purpose.
BEMANI: RemyWiki, which originally started as an English-language beatmania IIDX wiki (it is a sister to the forum and score tracking site Solid State Squad, formerly VJ Army), but has since expanded into a general English-language Bemani resource covering most active franchises. The name comes from its founder, Dan "Remy" Dickinson.
Big Mouth: The Big Mouth Wiki. Amusingly, there are several characters whose character designs are too explicit to even be pictured on that wiki.
BlazBlue: As expected, but be aware that almost a decade's worth of inconsistent dubs and localization has resulted in the wiki using the original terms translated from the Japanese version. For example the "Azure Grimoire" is now the "Blue Grimoire" so be ready for there to be some clash of terminology if you've never been there before. This one is being created in response to the above terms issue as well as other controversies associated with the Wikia although it is very much a work in progress.
Bluey Capsules: This is the link of the wiki for BlueyCapsules.
- This Wiki Rule is actually different from most, as the wiki is run and maintained by the creators of the comic rather than the fans.
Trivia/Bombergirl: Bomberpedia has an article dedicated to Bombergirl, but it is missing some aspects of the game that have yet to be documented. English-speaking fans of the game from the r/Bombergirl reddit also has created another wiki of their own that features gameplay strategies and how to install the game's PC version, but is also under construction.
Brutal Orchestra: Brutal Orchestra Wiki. Bonus points for the creator adding information herself to the wiki, which can be seen on any trivia entries that link to the "Talia" page.
"Any citation that links here was written by ItsTheTalia, who originally wrote them for the Fandom wiki, and got ported over into here."
Bubble Guppies: It has one, although it's bogged down with LOTS of spam edits, trolls, no active admins, and particularly hilarious commentators that degrade the characters and force Ship-to-Ship Combat.
- There's also another Bubble Guppies wiki in existence.
Chaos Wars: Here. The site author hilariously tries to discourage you from playing this game.

Potholes

AdaptationalAttractiveness.Live Action Films: The novel Brighton Rock concerns a romance (of sorts) between two teenagers from an impoverished background. In the book, the boy has bitten-down fingernails and wears a shabby suit, and his face is covered with peach fuzz because he's not shaving yet. The girl is skinny almost to the point of emaciation and has thinning hair. In the 1948 movie, they're played by much more conventionally attractive (as well as Dawson Cast) actors. The girl wears well-applied makeup, and the boy's suit is (though flashy and arguably distasteful) in good repair.
YMMV.A Nightmare On Elm Street Part 2 Freddys Revenge: Grady's death. Trapped in his room with Freddy slowly closing for the kill, he starts screaming for his father to come and help. Similar to Glen's death in the original, as he dies screaming for his mother, it reminds viewers that, Dawson Casting aside, in this universe, these are teenage children that Freddy is preying on.
Questionable Casting: Sometimes the result of Fake Nationality, Not Even Bothering with the Accent or a combination of the two. Race Lift and Dawson Casting are also sometimes factors. In live-action media this may lead to cases of Hollywood Genetics. Can definitely stem from Ability over Appearance when an actor's talent and acting ability lands them the part despite their overall look not being what the filmmakers originally envisioned for the role.
ArtisticLicenseHistory.Gladiator: Commodus was eighteen when Marcus Aurelius died (though in Franzoni's defence, he is described as such in the script, so we can consider Joaquin Phoenix being cast as a case of Dawson Casting). He ruled for 12 years before his murder, not just 150 days of games. He was also described as tall, muscular, with a face "handsome without being pretty", blond, and with curly beard and hair, just like his father.
Creator.Oona Laurence: She looks and frequently plays characters younger then she actually is, which leads to a lot of Dawson Casting.
Funny.Wet Hot American Summer First Day Of Camp: The most blatant use of Dawson Casting ever, as tweenaged Abby - who is convinced that Boys Have Cooties - gets her first period and hides in a bathroom stall... only to emerge boy-crazy, and played by 41-year-old Marisa Ryan.

Adults playing teenager/kids

YMMV.Pokemon Live: The entire show thanks to the Dawson Casting and plot elements that feel lifted from a fanfic (such as MechaMew2 and Delia's secret past). It gets this even more in hindsight as the plot revolves around Ash growing up and him staying with Misty and Brock, which the anime itself moved on from.
RealityIsUnrealistic.Live Action TV: Glee, Much has been made by fans and critics alike that most of the cast members playing teenagers are clearly in their 20's or even 30's, particularly the male students. While this is true, it ignores the very real fact that different people age at different speeds, and it is completely possible for two teenage boys to be in the same grade despite one of them sporting a heavy beard and deep voice and the other unable to grow facial hair and squeaking like a 10-year-old (eg. Kurt, played by Chris Colfer, the only cast member who was still in his teens, albeit late teens, at the start of the show). It may look odd to see mid-30's Matthew Morrison playing a teacher the same age that he is while Cory Monteith and Mark Salling (both in their late 20's) played students in their late teens, despite them all three looking about the same age, but that's only due to how rare it is to see it on television. Many young-looking teachers in real life are mistaken for students, while many teens ages 15-18 are mistaken for adults (or, conversely, much younger children).
Trivia.Pat Benatar: She played a teenage runaway in the "Love Is a Battlefield" video when she was 30 years old, and in that song she repeatedly sings about how "we are young".
Creator.Lillian Gish: invoked Several times, including playing a 15-year-old girl when she was 26 in the classic Broken Blossoms.
Trivia.Jasper In Deadland: Jasper, Gretchen and Agnes are all 17, so the 5th Avenue actors (along with the Off-Broadway actors) were roughly a decade older than the characters they were playing.
Trivia.Kids:
- Chloë Sevigny was 19 playing the 13-year-old Jennie. The actress she replaced (see below) was the same age.
- The 12-year-old Telly sleeps with in his opening scene is played by Sarah Henderson, who was 17. For obvious reasons, casting an older actress in this role was necessary.
Trivia.Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit: Charlotte Coleman was in her early twenties when playing teenage Jess.
Trivia.I Can Do Bad All By Myself: Hope Olaidé Wilson was 24 playing 16-year-old Jennifer.
Trivia.Back To The Future: Marty, Lorraine, George, Biff, Jennifer, etc. Makes some sense in Lorraine, George, and Biff's cases, since in the first movie they had to play both their teenage selves and their adult selves. Initially, not so much the case with Jennifer, who was played by 19-year old Claudia Wells in the first film, but then played by 26-year old Elisabeth Shue in the Sequels and that wig she wore to make her resemble Lea Thompson made her look every bit her age.
Trivia.Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson: Walker, a six-foot twentysomething stud, spends the first ten minutes of the show playing a ten year-old version of Jackson.
Trivia.Purple Rain: Appolina's application form gives her age as 19. She was 25 at the time.
Trivia.Arlo The Alligator Boy: Michael J. Woodard, who is in his early 20s, is cast as the 15-year-old Arlo.
Trivia.Dry Summer: Osman convinces Hasan to take the blame for Veli Sari's murder partly by telling him he will get a lighter sentence because he's young. This implies Hasan is a minor, when the actor Ulvi Dogan was in his thirties (and looked it).
Film.St Trinians: St. Trinian's isn't Catholic but the trope still applies to the some of the senior girls ("St. Trinian's Girl" is the British name for this trope, and the 2007 movie provides the trope image - helps the vast majority of the cast invokedwere in their 20s).).
Trivia.Fortysomething: Benedict Cumberbatch was about six or seven years older than university student Rory; sixteen-year-old Edwin was played by twenty-year-old Joe Van Moyland.

Others

Trivia.Fifty Shades Of Grey: Elena 'Mrs Robinson' Lincoln is said to be in her late 30's or early 40's in the books. In the films, she's played by Kim Basinger, who was nearly 63 during filming.
Trivia.Jungle Cruise: The real Prince Joachim was 25 at the time the movie takes place. Jesse Plemons was already in his early 30s.
Trivia.Hard Candy: Elliot Page was seventeen playing a (supposedly) fourteen year old girl. This has sparked fan theories that Hayley was pretending to be underage.
Trivia.Psycho Daughter: Sydney Sweeney was 20 when she played Samantha, who was just a few weeks past her 18th birthday.
Trivia.The Constant Gardener: Then 34/35 year old Rachel Weisz as 24 year old Tessa.
Trivia.Mimpi Metropolitan:
- The 19/20-years-old main trio are played by mid-20s actors. In Bambang's case (whose actor is the oldest at 28), people in-universe also think that Bambang doesn't look like his age.
- Juna is 19 years old according to his ID and 21 years old according to dialogue, but is played by 24-years-old Harris Vriza.
- Dian is said to be Bambang's younger cousin, but his actor is much older than Bambang's (39 years old).
Trivia.Halloween 2018:
- Nick Castle plays 61-year-old Michael Myers, while he himself is 71. However, James Jude Courtney, Michael's actor for most of the film, was 61, Michael's exact age, during the time of filming.
- The high school students included 24-year-old Andi Matchiak (Allyson), 24-year-old Dylan Arnold (Cameron), 23-year-old Virginia Gardner (Vicki), and 26-year-old Miles Robbins (Dave).
- Jamie Lee Curtis is three years older than Laurie's age in the film. This coincidentally matches the first film as well, where she was twenty playing seventeen.
Trivia.The Hills Have Eyes 1977: Brenda, who is presumably in her late teens, is played by the then-30 Susan Lanier. This would make her a year older than Dee Wallace, who portrays Brenda's older sister Lynne.
Trivia.The Catherine Tate Show: It's a sign of Tate's acting skill that she can play opposite Matthew Horne as both his high school love interest (Lauren) and his grandmother (Nan). Horne himself is in his thirties.
Trivia.Sabrina The Teenage Witch:
- Melissa Joan Hart was twenty when Season 1 aired, playing Sabrina at sixteen. She doesn't turn eighteen until Melissa herself was twenty-four.
- Nate Richert was an aversion - he was seventeen and emancipated from his parents so he could work longer hours.
- Jenna Leigh Green and Michelle Beaudoin were the oldest of the actors playing high schoolers - already twenty-two and twenty-one respectively.
- Lindsay Sloane meanwhile was the same age as Valerie.
- Donald Faison was 23 playing fellow teenage witch Dashiel.
- It extends to the college seasons as well. Roxie is nineteen, but Soleil Moon Frye was twenty-four. Elisa Donovan was nearly thirty as Morgan (who is twenty-one at the oldest). Trevor Lissauer was twenty-five.
- One of the student extras was a balding man!
Trivia.Freaks And Geeks: Averted by John Francis Daley (14), Martin Starr (16), Samm Levine (16) and, surprisingly, Seth Rogen (17). Downplayed with Jason Segel (19) and Busy Philipps (19). Played straight by James Franco (21) and Linda Cardellini (23).
Trivia.Star Wars: Retroactive example with Wedge Antilles. In the movie he is played by 28-29 year old Dennis Lawson, but in Rebels is revealed that he is almost the same age as Ezra and Sabine.
WMG.Cobra Kai: There will be a Running Gag of people telling Terry Silver he looks too young to have fought in Vietnam.
Trivia.The 300 Spartans:
- Sixty year-old Ralph Richardson as forty-four year old Themistocles.
- Fifty-four year old David Farrar as thirty-nine year old Xerxes I.
Trivia.Unnatural History: Italia Ricci (Maggie) was 24 at the time of filming. A bit of a stretch for someone playing a high schooler, but she makes it work.
Trivia.Life With Derek:
- Played straight with Ashley Leggat who was 19/20 playing a 15-year-old, and with Michael Seater who was 18 playing a 15-year-old.
- This was averted with Daniel Madger (Edwin), Jordan Todosey (Lizzie), and Ariel Waller (Marti), who were all around their characters' ages at the time of filming.
  - Actually, Daniel Madger is four years older than Jordan Todosey, despite them playing characters that are around the same age.
Trivia.Kamen Rider Zi O:
- The then 21 years old Gaku Oshida and 20 years old Shieri Ohata portrays 18-years-old Geiz and Tsukiyomi respectively.
- Played straight with 22-year-old Atomu Mizuishi, who portrayed the then 18-year-old Ryuichi Sakuma/Another Faiz/Fourze in the 2003 era, and inverted when he also portrays the 26/33-year-old versions of Ryuichi in 2011 and 2018 respectively.
- A downplayed example with 34-year-old Kento Handa; reprising his role as Takumi Inui, he mostly appears in The Present Day but, for a few seconds, he also portrays his 18-year-old self in new footage featuring Takumi's powers being erased in 2003.
- 17/24/28-year-old Yuko Kitajima/Another Kiva is played by 40-year-old Yumiko Shaku.
Creator.Isabelle Fuhrman:
- Zigzagged in Orphan. She was 11 playing the 9-year-old Esther Coleman. Except Esther is actually a 33-year-old woman who suffers from dwarfism.
- Inverted in The Hunger Games. While Clove's age is never stated in the books, it's implied that she is one of the older tributes, making her at least 16, while Fuhrman was 14 at the time of filming.
- Played straight with the Orphan prequel First Kill, where she reprises her role as Esther at age 25. The filmmakers have used primarily practical makeup and camera effects to "de-age" her.
Trivia.Surviving Middle School A Bullying Story: The voice actors often don't sound like the 11- or 12-year-olds they portray.
Trivia.Sherlock Holmes:
- Some thought that Jeremy Brett was too old to play Holmes. Brett was 51 when he started the series and Holmes is meant to be in his thirties.
- In The Sign of Four, Thaddeus and Bartholomew Sholto were supposed to be thirty years old, although Ronald Lacey was 51 when he played them.
Trivia.The Rocketeer: Kit, who is 7, is voiced by the 14-year-old Kitana Turnbull.
Creator.Edoardo Nevola: He was 42 when he started to voice teenage Will Smith in Fresh Prince. And ironically, his portrayal of Will was higher-pitched than Will Smith's real voice.
Creator.Tamzin Merchant:
- Notably averted with her role as Georgiana Darcy in the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice; Georgiana has recently turned 16 years old while Merchant herself was 17 during filming. Georgiana was one of Merchant's first roles.
- Katherine Howard is believed to have mostly likely been born in 1523, making her around 17 when she married Henry VIII in 1540 and 19 when she was executed in 1542. Merchant was around 21 when she first played Katherine (before her marriage to Henry), though this is understandable given the sexual nature of the role; Merchant was also able to pass for a teenager well. It's also worth noting some sources place Katherine's birth year slightly earlier, which would make Merchant almost exactly the right age.
- She was 22 when she played Daenerys in the Game of Thrones pilot, who is 16-turning-17 at the beginning of the show; once again this is understandable given some of the stuff Daenerys goes through; she was already aged up from 13-turning-14 as she was in the books.
- Imogen Spurnrose is 22 in Carnival Row's first season, while Merchant was in fact 30 and turned 31 during the filming of Season 1. The second season takes place a few months after the first, so Imogen is about the same age while Merchant was 33/34 during filming and turned 36 by the time Season 2 finished airing.
Creator.Winona Ryder: Averted early in her career, when she was close in age to most of her teenaged characters. She was sometimes criticized for playing teen roles ("I'm like, 19. What do they want me to play, a judge?"). She became a straighter example of the trope as she grew older. She was 28 in Girl, Interrupted whilst her character was 18. Her petite frame and wide eyes contribute to looking much younger.
Trivia.Lazer Team:
- The official document concerning "six-year-senior" and high school quarterback Zach as seen in the film lists his birth year as 1996. Michael Jones was born in 1987.
- Likewise, Woody's birth year is seen as 1995. Gavin Free was born in 1988.
Trivia.Eureka: In the episode with the isolation environment. Wound up making the "long distance relationship" going on there really creepy. Completely averted by Zoe, however (Jordan Hinson is actually about two months younger than her character). During the pilot Hinson was 13 playing 15, but, by the time of the series she was closer to her character's age.
Trivia.Wet Hot American Summer First Day Of Camp:
- Even more ridiculous than the film with everyone being fourteen years older but playing a couple months younger. And there's a couple special cases, as Lindsay is really an adult undercover for a magazine article (though 41 year old Elizabeth Banks is still playing significantly younger than her real age), and Abby is played by a real teenage actress until she gets her first period.
- Though funnily enough, many viewers have noted the joke largely falls flat as many of the actors don't seem to have aged a day (the big exception being Michael Showalter, who is not only visibly older but has also put on a significant amount of weight).
- Kinda subverted with Samm Levine, who at his 33 years still sounds very much like in the original film, filmed not so long after acting in Freaks and Geeks.
Trivia.Drop Dead Gorgeous: To varying degrees. For instance, Brittany Murphy was 21 and Amy Adams was 24 during filming. Meanwhile, Denise Richards was old enough to be going to her ten-year reunion. Surprisingly averted with the lead, though. Kirsten Dunst was actually 16 during filming, a year younger than her character.
Trivia.Mira Royal Detective:
- Mira, who is 8, is voiced by Leela Ladnier, who is 16.
- Some of the child characters, Priya, Neel and Veer for example, are voiced by actors in their teens or 20s; Meena and Pinky are voiced by women who are at least 30 and 40.
Trivia.Allo Allo: Prior to this show, Richard Gibson had been Typecast as a an actor who played youths. Herr Flick gave him the chance to show that he could play older characters as well.
Trivia.Scream The TV Series: Applies to all actors portraying the main cast, who are all in their 20s while playing high school students. The only aversion is Riley, who is played by 17-year-old Brianne Tju
WMG.Merlin 2008: Mentioned earlier on the page, but it has enough merit to be recognized. Morgause appears older than Morgana, enough that having a child around his age is not out of the realm of possibility, and we really have no idea what she's been up to before showing up in Camelot. She might have given up the child to his Druid father or, due to prophecies, left him behind with supporters of the Old Religion. In "The Once and Future King", it is Morgause who is Mordred's mother, and Morgana being his aunt could explain their connection.
Trivia.Peeping Tom: Dora the prostitute is referenced in the Daily Mirror headlines as a "young girl". But Brenda Bruce was 40 during shooting. Helped by her being Older Than They Look.
Creator.Jessica Parker Kennedy: Due to her short stature and very youthful appearance, she usually plays characters who are a decade younger than her.
DuelingWorks.Film Drama: The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) / Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)
- Capsule Pitch Description: Young radical leftist activists (played by much older actors) in late 1960s Chicago are targeted by the U.S. government; Illinois Black Panther chairman Fred Hampton features as a supporting character, and his murder by police and the impact it has on other activists are important to the plot.
Trivia.Big Time Rush:
- The guys are about 3-4 years older than the standard sophomore/junior high school age, as is Erin Sanders who plays Camille.
- Surprisingly, Ciara Bravo who plays Katie was between the ages of 12-16 playing a character three years younger than herself. It's not an egregious example as Ciara looked the age of her character.
Trivia.Charmed S 7 E 8 Charmed Noir: Bug Hall was nineteen playing the Magic School student Eddie Mullen. But since Paige's assistant in "Cheaper By the Coven" says he's twenty-one (and she refers to him as a student), it's possible Magic School has older students.
YMMV.Grease: All the actors playing teenagers wouldn't even pass for college students, especially Stockard Channing (who was in high school in actual 1959).
Series.Saved By The Bell 2020: Mocked in episode 4, where the seniors at Bayside are portrayed by senior citizens. Only Aisha seems to notice.
Trivia.St Elsewhere:
- Practically none of the actors playing the interns in the first season were as young as their characters were supposed to be (roughly 25-29). Terrence Knox was 36 in the first season, while Ed Begley, Jr. was 33, and David Morse was 29. Knox and Begley were actually older than Cynthia Sikes, who played senior Resident (later Attending) Dr. Cavanero, a character who was considered one of the longest-serving female doctors at the hospital.
- Tom Hulce was 29 when he played John Doe #12 (David Stewart), who is about 16 or 17, in "Graveyard", "Release" and "Family History". Dr. Philip Chandler repeatedly refers to David as a kid. He is played by Denzel Washington, who is one year younger than Hulce.
- Eric Stoltz was 21 or 22 when he played the 15-year-old Eddie Carson in "Under Pressure", "Entrapment" and "All About Eve".
- The 22-year-old Lycia Naff played the 14-year-old Maddy Holmes in the Season Three episodes "Saving Face", "Give the Boy a Hand" and "Any Portrait in a Storm".
- In the Flashback heavy episode of "Time Heals" it's laughably impossible to buy Ed Flanders and William Daniels as 25 year old intern versions of Westphall and Craig.
- Robert Romanus was 29 when he played the teenager Nick Meose in the Season Four episode "The Naked and the Dead".
Creator.Hayden Panettiere: Averted through most of her time on Heroes; inverted with Ice Princess (shot when she was 14; she plays a teenage skater in the same grade as 17-year-old Casey, who's played by then-18 Michelle Trachtenberg); not averted at all for Scream 4 or Until Dawn (or Kingdom Hearts by the time of Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]).
WesternAnimation.Chicken Little: Chicken Little sounds much older than 12 years old, being voiced by 30-year-old Zach Braff. The same applies to Abby Mallard, who's 13 years old and looks it, but is given a much more mature-sounding voice by Joan Cusack.
Trivia.Election: Reese Witherspoon and Chris Klein were 23 and 20 respectively when they starred in this film. Averted with most of the extras and minor student roles as it was filmed on location at a real high school. This was parodied in American Dad! episode "Smooshed: A Love Story", where Witherspoon poses as a student at Steve Smith's high school in order to convince people that she can pass as a high schooler and make a sequel to this film.

Category: Not Tropeworthy

Enforced Trope has been part of Playing with a Trope for over a decade now, but that was recently questioned on this discussion page, and then moved to this trope talk, where it was more or less agreed that it's not really a Playing with a Trope. You see, all variations of a trope are purposely included in a work by the creator, but Enforced Trope is the opposite of that, because the creator was "forced" by someone or something to include it. On top of that, there is really no difference between a Enforced Trope and a trope played straight (more on this later), so a wick check was conducted to determine its status. Here are the results (Enforced Trope Wick Check):

Percentages (50/50)

Misuse = 44%
- Forced by in-universe reasons = 24%
- Forced by limited video game options = 16%
- Examples Are Not Arguable = 2%
- Real Life examples = 2%
Forced by out-of-universe reasons = 36%
Legitimacy unclear? = 16%
- Chosen (but not forced) for out-of-universe reasons = 14%
- ZCE, who knows = 2%
More than one case in a single wick = 4%

Analysis

There's a lot to cover, so let's break it down into three points. Point one: these tropes are just played straight. One thing that is universal in the sample is the focus on behind-the-scenes information, something that the Enforced Trope description mentions, meaning that all of these tropes are played straight, and it's the details that make it enforced. Not only does this make it more like Trivia, but any straight example of any trope can be a potential enforced example because we tend not to know what goes on behind the scenes of any work, so we cannot be sure that something isn't being enforced unless we're told. This is also the only Playing with a Trope that cannot be identified when interacting with the work and that cannot be easily reproduced in other works, due to different standards in countries, locations, media, etc.

Issues

44% of examples are misused.
The definition is very broad, to the point where virtually anything could be called an Enforced Trope.
It is structurally Trivia and not Playing With due to it's relationship to out-of-universe.

Proposed solutions

Turn it into a Trivia trope.
Clarify the definition.
Rename to create discontinuity and discourage people from using its old form. (Perhaps "Imposed Trope", or "Enforced Element"?)

Anime and Manga based on H-Games

Otoboku - Maidens Are Falling For Me started as an H-Game, which is ironic, given how shy Mizuho is in the only slightly ecchi anime.
SHUFFLE!, openly — somewhere around episode 10, an R-15 warning was added to the television broadcast, after which the ecchi content was upped... occasionally.
The anime adaptations of the TYPE-MOON adult Visual Novels Tsukihime (as Shingetsutan Tsukihime) and Fate/stay night with the erotic content mostly toned down. It's noteworthy that sex is actually a mechanic that's important for the Nasuverse's magic system. It can be taken out of most routes without too many problems, but the plots of Kohaku's route for Tsukihime and the Heaven's Feel route of Fate/stay night involve sexual material much more directly, and require heavy rewriting to not be somewhat nonsensical in their safe-for-work forms. In the PS2 port of Fate/stay night, Heaven's Feel was toned down by having Sakura drink Shirou's blood (which also provides mana), removing all references to sex, and toning down Shinji's comments regarding Sakura. The anime films, however, do not Bowdlerise the story at all, to the point where it can be quite uncomfortable viewing.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and its related series Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever have their roots in a Triangle Heart H-Game, though both anime series have hardly any scenes of an even vaguely sexual adult nature. There was, however, a hentai OVA of the second Triangle Heart game.
Aquaplus, developers of the classic Bishoujo Game To Heart, initially released its game on the PC under the Leaf label with explicit adult content, but re-released the game for the PlayStation home console with adult content excised (then re-released that version on the PC with some more extras), expanding its following dramatically (in conjunction with the release of a clean TV adaptation). With the sequel, To Heart 2, Leaf reversed the bleaching and released a completely clean original on home consoles, then added adult content for the PC release, titled To Heart 2: X-Rated. The anime adaptation of To Heart 2 was clean. And *then* an eroge of To Heart 2 titled To Heart 2: Another Days was made by Leaf with new characters, and a clean OVA version was then released.
LEAF / Aquaplus also produced Utawarerumono, initially an adult game. Its huge success lead to an anime and a PlayStation 2 game, both 'clean' to the point of often lacking fanservice (at least of more conventional sorts, though it does occasionally come up). However, the anime, while leaving out the sexual aspects entirely, still left clear points in its plot where the story would have gone in an adult direction. For one thing, it has the harem elements and certain moments that lead up to those aspects left in, but it lacks all the sex. Though anime!Hakuoro plainly says he's single at one point, the only female who hasn't bumped uglies with him in game is, thankfully, his daughter Aruru. The PlayStation 2 version followed the original, adult game much more closely, to the point of cutting off on the brink of an H-scene then picking up afterwards. Only the original, adult game however, so openly blind-sides the player with the revelation that Dorii and Guraa are actually male. The others just kinda leave you unsettlingly uncertain.
Another LEAF work is Tears to Tiara, which originated with the adult PC game. Later remade for the PS3 with (what is generally regarded as) superior character design. The anime then took the PS3's take on things.
Key/Visual Arts' games Kanon and AIR were originally H-Games, but the anime versions and later releases of the games were clean, and many people thought the hentai actually detracted from the story. (And was oddly placed. See Mai's arc in Kanon, where they go to the school to fight demons, but take a break to eat supper and do it on the desks.) On that note, there's also Eternal Fighter Zero.
The erotic Otome Game ''Trick or Alice" received an anime adaptation without explicit sex scenes.
While in the subject of Key/Visual Arts, like Leaf, they also reversed the bleaching with Little Busters!. Initially released as a clean visual novel with a gripping plot, followed by a manga adaptation, they then re-released it as Little Busters! Ecstasy as an adult version of the original one (plus extras). The same goes for CLANNAD, except that the unbleached game is a Gaiden Game sequel to one of the routes in the original (Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life). But then, the Key 10th Anniversary Box edition has an ero-free version of Ecstasy. And then they made a clean anime that is also pretty fanservice-free, too.
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito was based in a H-game, and while the anime still carries plenty of fanservice with lesbians to boot, it is far from being hentai. There is also Touka Gettan, which is distantly related to Yami Bou, that features this trope on two fronts: it's based off of an erotic visual novel that, in turn, is a spin-off of the erotic visual novel/Hentai series Kao No Nai Tsuki.
Gakuen Heaven is a pretty good example of this applied to the Boys' Love genre. The original PC game included sex but didn't show any penises. The sequel and the PS2 port both toned down the sex to just suggestion. The anime cleaned things up even further until the original game's rapist seme was reduced down to sexual harassment by elbow licking. The manga versions of things keep much closer to the original source material.
Demonbane is based on a series of eroge for the PC, but removing the adult content doesn't impact the mecha/Lovecraft story much.
Another example is the popular Dating Sim Sukisho. The Shotacon, gore, and H scenes aren't present in adaptations from the game (at least not in the anime and OVA) and was basically toned down from a full-blown Yaoi to shounen-ai fluff.
The hentai game series Green Green was adapted into an anime that started off pretty clean, but eventually added back in the nudity. It never had the sex of the games until the Bonus Episode 13, which was never licensed in the U.S.
They Are My Noble Masters started as a H-Game, but when the anime came out, it was filled with TONS of shout outs to different series.
The twelve-episode series Soul Link is based on the game of the same name. The plot is almost the same, some characters were added, but the H is toned down. There is still lots of sexiness and one or two bed scenes.
Princess Lover!, based on the eroge of the same name from RICOTTA. Most of the elements from the visual novel were kept for the animated adaptation; however, RICOTTA wasn't entirely satisfied with just a broadcast release, thus averted this trope by releasing an H-OVA for one of their heroines.
Yosuga no Sora plays this trope straight with its manga adaptation, but surprisingly averted this with its animated release... on broadcast television, by going the entire way of showing explicit sex scenes at the end of each heroine's arc.
Magical Canan, based on Terios Company's game and hentai OVA Magical Kanan, are developed by totally different developers (AIC) and have totally different art styles.
Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro Na originated as an H-Game, but the anime adaptation and PS2 port have the sex scenes removed.
Variable Geo actually provides stronger sexual and violent content than the game it was loosely based on. However, the original Variable Geo was a PC-98 game that included explicit sex scenes, as did all the sequels that were made for PCs rather than consoles. Variable Geo: NEO was based on one of the later games and is an alternate continuity, featuring an entirely different cast.
The Anime of the Game Dōkyūsei 2 became the first Dating Sim-based anime to air on Japanese TV in 1998. The TV series was the OAV with the sex scenes edited out.
Aselia the Eternal - The Spirit of Eternity Sword was originally an H-game/RPG mix for the PC. Eventually, it was ported to the PlayStation 2, which doesn't allow adult content. Then it was ported back. So all the references to the sex are there and you can even pinpoint when it happened, you'll just never see it.
Nightwalker is a very early anime TV series based on an eroge, just barely edged out of the pioneer spot by the adaptation of Doukyuusei 2. While it isn't trying to hide its origins, it is required to meet broadcast standards. Fortunately, with its Otaku O'Clock airtime that isn't so difficult. The protagonist is a vampire, so it is an easy leap from sex scenes to less explicit Kiss of the Vampire scenes.
The anime adaption of Rumbling Hearts still features sex scenes, albeit in a more tasteful PG-13 manner than the original PC visual novel.
Many are surprised to find that Comic Party was based off an H-game, considering the original anime was quite clean (rated PG in most countries) and contained almost no fanservice. (Some of the bonus OVAs and the sequel Revolution series do add some brief nudity, but no sex.)

Anime and Manga — Other

Mezzo Forte was originally a hentai OVA. Curiously, each of the two Mezzo Forte episodes only has a single two-minute sex scene — and it's easily edited out without any plot impact, as was done in some US versions. Japanese contractual obligations to add hentai material, meet overseas distributor underpants bleaching. Mezzo Forte was not supposed to be porn at first, but the producer bankrolling it believed it was the only way it would make money and forced the team to add in the gratuitous nudity and sex. Basically, the American release was what they had really wanted to do all along (once they found a different publisher). The followup TV series was also non-hentai.
Project A-Ko, similar to Kanon and AIR, was originally produced as part of the Cream Lemon hentai series, but the producers thought the comedy was too good to be broken up with sex scenes. They left plenty of suggestiveness in, though, like a few shots of B-Ko bathing, and lots of Panty Shots.
Lupin III plays with this trope.
- The work Monkey Punch did for "Playboy School" should be easy to guess (Playboy for reference). And the original Lupin manga weren't much cleaner.
- The Lupin III: Part 1 series was cleaner (but still Seinen-oriented), and the Lupin III Yearly Specials are much Lighter and Softer. But Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine was made Hotter and Sexier as well as Darker and Edgier, in order to align closer to the original manga style.
Dream Hunter Rem started life as a one-shot hentai OVA. Due to popular demand, this one-shot was re-edited and re-released with a newly made episode as a mainstream title and eventually spawned four sequels.
Monster Musume by Takemaru "Okayado" Inui was based on an online hentai comic titled Living with Monster Girl. He has also made two other series, a one-shot, Deadline Summoner which just lays on the fanservice, and a one-shot, now an ongoing series, 12 Beast which has plenty of ecchi in-between the over-the-top comedy and the seriousness of war. The one-page comics included with the anime's DVD have the same style and layout of his early H-comics, but with Kimihito and his harem in place of the old characters. In an interview, he also said he would be interested in seeing an H-game based on his most famous creation.
It should be no surprise to anyone that the Iczer series originally began as a hentai manga, though the underpants aren't quite as bleached as other examples due to the series being OVA's rather than TV series.
Ouran High School Host Club is a meta example, as its central concept is a sanitized version of actual Host Clubs. Rather than revolving around expensive alcohol, a party atmosphere, and the possibility of after-hours hanky-panky with the hosts, in Ouran the Host Club's hosts^note engage the female guests in conversation and light flirting along with food and drink, with each drawing their own audience, and sometimes have cosplay-themed events.
The World's End Harem manga franchise are all drawn by various artists whose main claim to fame is hardcore hentai. The four manga series have plenty of nudity but stop short of explicitly depicting sex—just short in the case of World's End Harem: Fantasia, which relies on whiting out the genitals.
Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight! has an In-Universe example when AV director Victor Iba tries to break into mainstream filmmaking with a martial arts action-schlock film titled Fist of the Tokyo She-Beast, using a bunch of martial arts-capable idols including main character Haebaru Misora (a gravure model trained in classical karate) to make up most of the cast.
Kohta Hirano, creator of Hellsing, started out writing freelance hentai featuring characters that eventually became the cast of the aforementioned work. In fact, one of his works, Legend of Vampire Hunter, is identical in plot and character design to the first book of Hellsing — except, of course, that the busty police officer is only threatened with rape in the latter work. Hirano being Hirano, he lampshades this all the time in the author's notes in the first volumes. Other characters used in previous hentai titles that were roped into the Hellsing series; Alexander Anderson from the short comic Angel Dust, Pip Bernadotte and the Major from Coyote, Doc and Schrödinger from Doc's Story, Renaldo from Magic School and the Captain from Desert Guardian. One of Anderson's many nicknames is "Angel Dust Anderson".

Comedy

Paul Reubens's Pee-Wee Herman was a stand-up character for adult comedy nightclubs and his playhouse show played out like a kids' show with adult humor (the type that is more R-rated, not PG-rated, as seen in many animated films and TV shows). One of his routines involved him and his friend Hammy wearing shoe mirrors to see up Hammy's sister's dress. Hammy's sister catches them trying to look up her dress, then tells them the joke is on them because she's not wearing any panties.

Comic Books

Ben Dunn, author of the manga-esque Ninja High School, at the same time wrote a satirical adult series entitled NOT Ninja High School. One of the unique things about NOT Ninja High School is that several artists from regular Ninja High School projects did stories. Artists who've done Not NHS stories include Bob DeJesus, Takeshi Suzuki and Fred Perry.
The assistant artist of Scott Pilgrim made some Rule 34 of the female members of Scott Pilgrim. Bryan Lee O'Malley was fine with it since his comic already had its share of sex scenes.
Empowered grew out of Adam Warren being forced by financial difficulties to turn to the questionable but lucrative market of superhero-themed bondage pin-ups. Gradually, he found the single images developing into longer gag strips, and finally a full-blown comic series with fleshed-out characters. (Although while it doesn't have any graphic nudity or hardcore images, the comic still has strong erotica and sex-comedy elements.)
Stjepan Šejić once posted a safe-for-work sketch of his favourite bondage themed characters and drew himself in, jokingly wondering if he was a fetishist or a comic artist first. He's fairly free with both male and female fanservice, and in his creator-owned comics has some characters with a few out there kinks, but makes it clear that it's Safe, Sane, and Consensual.
Nickelodeon Magazine featured a comic strip titled Patty-Cake that was written by Scott Roberts and first appeared in the magazine in 1998, but the series actually began as a comic book distributed by Permanent Press that began publication in 1994. The pre-Nickelodeon Magazine comics were more adult, featuring occasional profanity and mature humor.
Gigi Dutreix, an artist and writer who works on Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW), and also is notable for their Sonic the Hedgehog fan comic The Murder of Me, draws kink art and pornographic art, even of Sonic the Hedgehog and The Murder of Me. There's a good reason they use a pseudonym for this sort of activity.
A non-sexual example, The Phoenix features a comic strip called Looshkin, featuring [the titular blue cat and a living teddy bear named Bear. The strip features a lot of slapstick and Surreal Humour. The original incarnation, the 2003-2005 Alternative Comics series Bear, had that but also included swearing and stronger violence, so it was aimed at adults.

Fan Works

The fangame NANACA†CRASH!! borrows characters from the H-Game CROSS†CHANNEL. This later inspired Katawa Crash, which borrows characters from Katawa Shoujo, which in turn also contains some erotic scenes.
The original of the Caramelldansen meme features a short dance loop from the H-Game Popotan, set to the Swedish pop-song of the same title.
Hivefled is a complex, plot-driven Alternate Universe Fic. The Kink Meme fic it originated from, Reprise, was basically just horrible torture-rape.
A Cosplay example happens with the Hentai with Plot Bible Black. While the visual novels and their anime adaptations are clearly NSFW, the female high school uniform became so popular in the Turn of the Millennium that many cosplayers still wear that uniform in events today and even cosplay some major characters like Hot Teachers Reika Kitami and Hiroko Takashiro, all without showing any of the H-content.

Films — Live-Action

The 1975 horror film Forced Entry was a loose remake of a 1973 porno of the same name.
In the 1970s and 1980s it was not uncommon for porn films to have second versions released to mainstream theatres with sex scenes either removed or toned down. Examples include Cafe Flesh and Dixie Ray, Hollywood Star (the latter actually having an actual well-known film and TV actor, Cameron Mitchell, in a supporting - but non-sexual - role). Averted with the infamous Deep Throat, which was released uncensored (since an R-rated cut would have been pointless). Since the 1980s it has been commonplace for some of the higher-budgeted porn films to shoot sex scenes with a second camera, or restage them altogether, to allow versions of the films to be shown on cable or released to video where hardcore is illegal. Such productions regularly appear today on networks like Cinemax.

Literature

Jaine Austen Mysteries: In Death by Pantyhose, Vic Cleveland, the book's victim, was blackmailing Reagan Dixon into aiding his stand-up career with the porno film she did in her past.
A significantly downplayed version of this, the titular character Miss Bindergarten from the children's book series aimed at younger children. Started out as drawings on mature-orientated (but not explicit) birthday cards for teens and young adults.

Live-Action TV

Columbo, episode "Murder Can Be Hazardous to Your Health": In-Universe. Wade Anders, the host of a prime-time true crime series, has a secret past as a porn actor, performing with an underaged co-star to boot. When professional rival Budd Clarke tries to blackmail Wade with this information, Wade kills him.
Explicit series being made for pay cable sometimes simultaneously film tamer versions without swearing and sex for broadcast and other more restrictive venues.
- When The Sopranos was being produced, they made sure to be prepared to bleach their own underpants for syndication. They would frequently record alternate versions of scenes where a nude character (often the strippers in the club) would be in bikinis or lingerie, and occasionally a scene would be recorded with softer dialogue to avoid Hong Kong Dub later.
- Dream On, much like The Sopranos, had nude scenes with alternate takes wearing underwear for broadcast syndication (it also briefly aired on the Fox network).
- Emmanuelle In Space, a 1990s sci-fi softcore series (loosely based on the movies) that became something of an Old Shame when its star, Krista Allen, began to gain popularity through more mainstream fare like Baywatch, was reportedly devised to air in both cable and syndicated TV versions, with presumably the syndicated versions being markedly different. There is no indication they ever bothered actually trying to syndicate it, however.
A frequently used theme song for children's TV shows in The '70s was John Barry's "Florida Fantasy", from the decidedly family-unfriendly Midnight Cowboy.
Inverted by Maitland Ward, who after a two-decade mainstream acting career and appearing in series like The Bold and the Beautiful and Boy Meets World transitioned to the porn industry, mainly in the "MILF" niche due to her age.

Manga

As if the Hellsing examples weren't enough, the creator of And Shine Heaven Now bleached three more characters from Kohta Hirano's hentai manga: Nina, admittedly wasn't bleached much (she went from a catgirl that had sex with Hitler to a succubus that switched bodies with Schrodinger and then fought Alucard), but the characters Natalie and Pip (the prototype for Hellsing's Pip Bernadette) from the hentai manga Coyote were lightened up, the only signs of the hentai background being a scene where Natalie is chained up. They turn out to be Pip's grandparents.
The Fate/stay night manga replaces the Intimate Healing scene between Saber and Shirou with a Battle in the Center of the Mind.

Music

Jackie Wilson and LaVern Baker recorded an X-rated version of their duet "Think Twice" as a piss take during the recording sessions for that single, and later turned up on bootlegs and specialty compilations.
The Muppet-popularized song "Mah Na Mah Na" originated in the score for Sweden: Heaven and Hell, an Italian mondo documentary exploring lesbian nightclubs, porn films, swinging lifestyle of married couples and sex education of teenagers. The song itself accompanied several giggling girls into a sauna.
The theme song for The People's Court apparently started out as a porno groove.
The iconic "Colonel Bogey March" featured in The Bridge on the River Kwai is a complicated example, as it didn't originally have lyrics when it was composed during World War I—but the lyrics that soldiers would've sung in World War II, when River Kwai takes place, were deemed too crude to include in the movie. This makes the song an example of both With Lyrics and Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics at once!
Little Richard's original lyrics to "Tutti Frutti" contained unacceptable levels of swearing and sexual innuendo (being a pretty transparent reference to gay anal sex) for contemporary radio broadcast, so songwriter Dorothy LaBostrie was brought in to hurriedly write new, clean, lyrics.
John Lennon wrote a song titled "Maharishi", full of swearing as The Diss Track on said Indian guru who disappointed him. The version recorded by The Beatles in The White Album might have a dirtier title in "Sexy Sadie", but its language is cleaner and some lyrics are more vague if still bitter because George Harrison asked Lennon so.
The original version of the song "Blind Dance" by Violet UK is 18 minutes long, a near ethereal Gothic Metal Intercourse with You song centering around Intercourse with You and the protagonist being a submissive in BDSM, and containing The Immodest Orgasm combined with Cluster F-Bomb. The commercial/radio edit version barely clocks in at 4 minutes (if that) and is an ambient sound/electronic Apocalyptic Log with some bits of the drums and orchestra from the original thrown in. Both actually are good, but they aren't even the same song despite the name.
Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers used to rap obscene, sexually explicit lyrics, but no longer does, preferring to sing more romantic material. He will still do some of the older songs such as 'Sir Psycho Sexy' live, but has avoided doing many of the previous ones out of shame.
The Black Eyed Peas re-wrote "Let's Get Retarded", a song from their 2003 album Elephunk, as "Let's Get It Started" to serve as a promo song for television coverage of the 2004 NBA Playoffs. Guess which version ended up becoming a bigger hit...
The nursery rhyme Eeny, meeny, miny, moe has gone through some rather lurid incarnations over the past centuries, before being re-Bowdlerised in the late twentieth century. The version that appeared in work by Rudyard Kipling and in Pulp Fiction, among others, doesn't use the word "tiger" (or "beggar" as it's bowdlerised in Britain, or "sailor" as in the American release of Kind Hearts and Coronets). The use of the version of the rhyme that has the N-word instead of tiger is an Old Shame for Doctor Who in that it appears in dialogue in an episode of the 1960s story, The Celestial Toymaker. The episode in question is presently lost, however audio survives, and thus far official commercial releases of the audio have obfuscated this part of the soundtrack to avoid controversy.
It's somewhat common for 19th-century music by Stephen Foster (like "Camptown Races" and "Oh! Susanna") and others to appear described as "Early American Songs" and are treated today as popular children's songs in the United States, without any reference to the uncomfortable reality that many of the songs were composed for use in Blackface Minstrel Shows. Many of the originals also contained overtly racist language, which is quietly Bowdlerized these days.
Goldo's One-Hit Wonder "Boom-Da-Boom" is mainly known for the version that describes the narrator being in a dream involving various Disney characters (and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, for some reason). The original version was about the narrator getting involved in a high-speed chase-turned-fight which goes From Bad to Worse when someone pulls out an AK-47.
The song "Baby Shark" was originally darker than the version most kids are familiar with - the original lyrics had the sharks attacking and killing a swimmer.
The ABC song and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" have a tune that was originally used for a French song about a woman who was shunned for losing her virginity.
The song "Shoo Fly, Don't Bother Me" was based on a similar song called "Shew Fly" which was sung from the perspective of a slave (the line "For I belong to somebody" was originally "For I belong to Company G") and even had him use the N-word to describe himself.
The traditional Americana song "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" is almost always performed without the final verse. Most of the song describes a hobo yearning for a place, a fabled paradise known as the Big Rock Candy Mountain, where he could live a life of ease without labour. The final verse is about a homeless teen telling off the man, accusing him of wanting to sexually abuse him.
Klaus Schulze's album Body Love and its sequel album began as the score to a pornographic film of the same name.
The hymn "What Child Is This?" (among other Christmas and New Year texts) is set to the tune of "Greensleeves", which is usually interpreted as either a song about a promiscuous young woman or a prostitute, or a song about a woman being mistaken for one of these things.
Few hentaigrind bands such as Aloys Fudanshi abandoned the hentai side of things and switched to regular Grindcore, blackened Death Metal and powerviolence from Alive onwards.

Pro Wrestling

A fair number of professional wrestlers in WWE have gotten their undies bleached, sometimes as a result of a Heel–Face Turn but more generally because WWE has in recent years attempted to become more family-friendly. The most notable of these is John Cena, who rose to fame as a heel that belittled his opponents through R-Rated rap promos. Within record time, Cena was PG-ized by the WWE when they saw his popularity and has gone full-tilt towards erasing any edginess about Cena in favor for a G-Rated version of Cena that they could shill to children. On the Divas side, Mickie James (who did several nude photoshoots before becoming a WWE wrestler) and Kelly Kelly, who started out with fairly perverted gimmicks (Psycho Lesbian and "extreme exhibitionist," respectively) before being converted to generic Divas.
Subverted with wrestler Steve Austin, who credits his brief tenure in ECW for serving as a test run for his revamp into "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Meanwhile Edge, who for a time called himself "The Rated-R Superstar" reverted back to his wacky evil gimmick of the early 00s rather than simply being neutered.
Inverted (given it's for something after wrestling) with Chyna. WWE '13 retells the story of the Attitude Era without listing her. It's either due to a personal feud with Stephanie McMahon (who among other things married her ex), or Chyna starting a career as a porn actress. This was WWE's general stance towards Chyna and her legacy, often downplaying her in retrospectives or pretending she never existed, all the way from her tumultuous exit in 2001 until her untimely death. Since then, she has been looked at with more respect from WWE and even got a posthumous Hall of Fame induction along with the other members of D-Generation X.

Toys

Why does Barbie — an American children's doll — have huge boobs? Because she's based on "Bild Lilli", a doll marketed to adult men in Germany. Lilli herself originated as a bawdy character in a German comic strip in the 1950s.

Video Games

Inverted with Conker's Bad Fur Day, as it was originally going to be a family-friendly game like its predecessor, Conker's Pocket Tales, but Rareware decided to tone it very higher.
The Porn with Plot RPG Dragon Knight 4 was ported to the SNES and PlayStation with all the Optional Sexual Encounters removed.
Enix, the company behind Dragon Quest, got its start making computer games. Namely, one of their earliest games involved saving a girl from knives being thrown at her, and the girl stripping as a reward. The game that followed? Stripping little girls...
Duel Savior Destiny originally had sexual content in Duel Savior Justice, but it later received a clean release that turned most of the sex scenes into something far more PG, faded to black on others and replaced the harem route with one focused around the princess character from the original game who did not originally have a route. In order to do so, she gets dragged along to a number of scenes that were clearly originally written without her presence, making her rather stand out.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a lot of character designs (Including Pyra and Mythra) being from old hentai artists including CHOCO himself. CHOCO returns to do the designs of KOS-MOS and T-Elos as well as Praxis and Theory, who are entirely new characters. Praxis' character design makes CHOCO's origins as a H-Game artist obvious.
Scarlet Blade is already a risque piece of work; but it turns out that freecree, the CG artist, was simply using cropped versions of his much more risque versions of his artwork and has put them shamelessly on display.
Data East began its line of billiards games with a clean Arcade Game titled Side Pocket. However, all the (likewise clean) console releases of Side Pocket, not counting the Numbered Sequels, were based either on the nudity-enhanced update Pocket Gal or its sequel Pocket Gal Deluxe.
The Japanese video game company Custom developed five games, four of which were released with an adults-only rating for the PC-98 and other computers. The fifth was Chip-Chan Kick, a PC-FX exclusive and the only starring appearance of the company's mascot girl.
Several minor Japanese Arcade Game makers managed to keep themselves going for many years by producing sequels to strip mahjong or similar softcore casual games, apparently to pay the rents while scrounging up the time. Examples include Jaleco's Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai series, Kaneko's Gals Panic series, Seta's Super Real Mahjong series, and Psikyo's Taisen Hot Gimmick series, each of which included at least one clean console version. (Additionally, in latter's case, the arcade version can be set in the service mode to run in "clean" mode.) Toaplan produced three strip mahjong games for no better reason than that the company was young and needed the money; only one of their later arcade games (Pipi & Bibis, also known as Whoopee!!) had any nudity.
Taito's Puzznic had one version exclusive to Japanese arcades that rewarded level completion with topless girlie pictures. The PC-98 port replaced them with clothed anime girls, while many other versions, including all home versions, had no girls at all.
Kimihagu was originally an 18+ H-Game for the PC (in Japan only). Six years later, however, it received a 17+ port for the iPhone (still in Japan only).
The maid training simulator/Virtual Paper Doll H-Game Custom Order Maid 3D 2 received a clean 12+ release titled Custom Order Maid 3D 2: It's A Night Magic. There's also Custom Cast, an all ages mobile app version of just the character creator intended for Vtubers which also has an option to create male characters, unlike the original (without mods, at least).
- Similarly the eroge Koikatsu also has an all ages character creator-only version called Vkatsu meant for Vtubers. A clean version of the game called Koikatsu Party also received a worldwide release.
Ironically, despite having a more risque premise (you're trying to build a camgirl business), HunieCam Studio is this trope compared to its predecessor HuniePop. It is a Business Sim that doesn't show anything particularly pornographic, compared to HuniePop's Dating Sim that was very fanservice heavy and featured actual porn in the adult version. It's arguable as to whether or not this was responsible for HunieCamStudio flopping, but the next game from the company, a direct sequel to HuniePop, went back to being fully X-rated.
In I=MGCM, Studio MGCM has made two versions released simultaneously: The DX version and the regular version. The regular version of said game has all pornographic scenes and dialogues from the DX version removed and some of them are replaced with scenes that makes sense for general audiences. However, this game still has some Fanservice, Stripperiffic dresses, Sex Comedy, Les Yay subtexts, and visual innuendos that include some Demon Realm plants and critters that look like women's breasts, male sex organs, etc., but it's still relatively clean. Because of this, all the main story scenes, dreams scenes, hallucinations, Visions of Another Self and imagine spots, that are exclusively available in the DX version, are left to players' imaginations.
Lilith's Taimanin franchise is a Porn with Plot Visual Novel series, (in)famous for each of its Action Girls getting into various sexual situations. Come 2019, a Hack and Slash game, aptly named Action Taimanin debuted, which aims to show what the titular Taimanin are really capable of in their line of work, even getting a Steam release.
OMORI first came into the world in late 2011 as a teenager whose favorite things were looking up porn on his laptop and video games. Even before Omocat cancelled the graphic novel in favour of making the eponymous game, the Omori's Story one-shot lacked any trace of sexual content in favour of Omori spending a fun day out of White Space with his friends - and by the time the announcement trailer was released in 2014, she had aged him down to a preteen and laid the final nail in the coffin for any explicit elements.
PopCap Games, the company behind Plants vs. Zombies, Bejeweled, Peggle, among other games, started under the name of "Sexy Action Cool", and its first title was a Strip Poker game called "Foxy Poker", which served as a revenue stream for their future titles.
Ever since they made Angry Birds, Rovio Entertainment's work has steered towards Lighter and Softer to the point that people only familiar with Rovio's post-Angry Birds work might be shocked to find out just how many of their earlier titles were Darker and Edgier, as this showreel from 2006 proves:
- The Darkest Fear trilogy, a series of three Resident Evil-esque survival horror titles.
- Several war-themed games such as the War Diary trilogy, Desert Sniper and Marine Sniper.
- Patron Angel, a vertical shooter in which a guardian angel who looks like a sexy model must protect a young boy from demons by shooting at them.
- Paid to Kill, a Third-Person Shooter revolving around a bounty hunter named Ramon Spectre who according to the official synopsis is "coming to collect".
- Cyber Blood, a violent and bloody third-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic Crapsack World.

Visual Novels

Rumbling Hearts received the usual removal of sex scenes when it was ported to Dreamcast and PS2, but also has one particular ending replaced in the ports. Said ending involved the protagonist getting kidnapped by his love interest, forced to undergo hormonal replacement therapy, and sexually assaulted. The ports replaced this with a more run-of-the-mill happy ending.
ATOM GRRRL!! was released for Steam with the majority of the yuri left implied, though Big E's "weapon" was left uncensored.
The remake of Kikokugai: The Cyber Slayer removes the explicit sex, presumably opening the novel up to a new audience nine years later.
In an interesting aversion, Norn9 has scenes that look like this and cuts to black before the characters actually have sex...but the only releases have been all-ages, meaning there never were any sex scenes to remove to begin with.
The remake of YU-NO predictably cut the sex scenes, but it's still very obvious what happened. This was also averted on its first console port - the Sega Saturn - due to the Saturn performing so poorly Sega allowed them in a fit of desperation.
Subverted in Muv-Luv's non-erotic versions, where they get away with as much as they possibly can, either fading to black at the very last possible moment or showing the scene anyway but the CGs cropped and the most explicit bits cut out. It's notably Muv-Luv Alternative that does the latter, which is understandable given that its content is definitely not meant for anyone who couldn't handle seeing sex and is more to appease the rating systems.
Phantom Thief Silver Cat: As per Steam's regulations, the commercial release features censored imagery (save for a couple of oversights), though dialogue makes it clear what's happening in every scene regardless.
This shows up In-Universe in Higurashi: When They Cry. Keiichi understands that his father is a landscape artist, but it's implied during a business party that at least some of his commercial success has come from Doujinshi products in which the subjects keep their socks on.

Webcomics

Wendy, one of Jackie Lesnick's best remembered characters (or character templates) began as the focal character of The Wendy Project, a site showcasing tons of pinups of Wendy and her friends (which, according to the artist's retrospective, were rather badly drawn). The characters would eventually star in the increasingly more wholesome comic bearing Wendy's name, and Wendy's character design was later reused in the filler series Cute Wendy, which became a runaway success and spawned its own sequel/spinoff Girly. Despite the Old Shame involved, Jackie has continued to produce short pornographic comics on her Slipshine subscription service to this day, some of which still feature Wendy prominently, although slightly better drawn now.
Before the webcomic got its start, Las Lindas artist Chalo had a number of pictures of Mora in some rather NSFW situations. Once the comic became popular, the pics were eventually deleted from his art pages, though they occasionally still pop up from time to time on imageboards. The move is somewhat ironic, given the Fanservice-heavy nature of the comic and that Mora has since been shown and implied to have had sex multiple times throughout, not to mention that Chalo does still occasionally post NSFW art of his characters on his social media accounts.
Happens In-Universe in Ennui GO!. Izzy makes an H-Game centered around catching fish girls and then having sex with them. The developers later end up adapting it into a kid-friendly cartoon and related line of merchandise, despite her protests that the Moral Guardians will come after her for it.

Web Original

Loud Nigra, one of the most widely used Stock Screams in YouTube comedy videos starting in the late 2010s, is originally from a pornographic video. Initially, it was used on YTPs parodying porn or The Immodest Orgasm, but later became a stock response for something really scary or disgusting, or as a funny Death Wail.
Suzi Hunter, the host of The Sphere Hunter, a YouTube series dedicated to reviewing and analyzing Survival Horror games, is a trans woman who had been a pornographic actress during her transition. While she is open about being trans, she does not like to talk about her past as a sex worker, seeing it as a dark period in her life.

Western Animation

Dead End: Paranormal Park is based on Deadendia in turn based on Dead End. The former iterations have plenty of raunchy sex jokes and in the case of Deadendia even guest participations by porn artists, but the Netflix show has been largely purged of that and doesn't really have anything objectionable for kids barring homophobic countries banning the show.
Regular Show, whose early seasons already straddled the line between content suitable for Cartoon Network and its nighttime sibling [adult swim], is based on two student films creator J.G. Quintel did when he was in college for animation. One is "The Naive Man from Lolliland," which, aside from a single use of the word "hell," isn't considered all that raunchy. "2 in the AM PM," however, contains explicit swearing and references to drug abuse, with the entire premise surrounding two clerks eating candy laced with LSD during the night shift and tripping out.
The TV series Oh No! It's An Alien Invasion is based on a short called Oh Shit!.
Rick and Morty is already a pretty crude show, but it's based off of an even cruder short Justin Roiland did for Channel 101 called The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, a Back to the Future parody where the solution to literally every problem the main characters encounter is for Mharti to lick Doc's balls. Yes, each instance of this was fully (if crudely) animated.
The Powerpuff Girls originally premiered in a short called Whoopass Stew!, where Professor Utonium created the "Whoopass Girls" by accidentally adding a literal can of whoopass to his concoction instead of Chemical X. It was Darker and Edgier in general, including having the girls kill their enemies instead of just beating them up.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) was a decidedly kid-friendly television series, which originated out of a much darker and more violent comic series, which continued on separately with its own tone being different than that of the cartoons.
- On the topic of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, guest character Miyamoto Usagi who appeared in various animated incarnations of TMNT. Also originated from a much darker and violent comic series, with the tone being more serious, notably lacking the aforementioned series' campy tone, and acknowledging sex (although the comic has zero sex scenes), or for that matter sexism in feudal Japan.
The short-lived Nickelodeon series Catscratch is loosely based on Doug TenNapel's comic book series Gear. Unlike Catscratch, Gear has a very Grimdark tone that involves characters killing each other in extremely violent ways (mainly inside giant robots), strong and explict religious themes and allegories, and strong language. Nick decided to overhaul the universe of Gear by giving it a Lighter and Softer and humorous tone and changing the characters personalities.
In its concept stages, Jimmy Two-Shoes started off as a more mature Black Comedy. Evidenced by that it originally took place explicitly in Hell, with the titular main character being sent there after being killed by a bus ramming him over, and also by the fact that Heloise was the spirit of a Serial Killer and that Lucius was the Devil - on top of the fact that some of the surfaced concept art show gore (most prominently, this one◊). Bowdlerization eventually came in once Disney XD got a hold of the show. Somewhat downplayed in that this original version of the show wasn't really for adults as it was for tweens/teens.
The rejected Cartoon Network pilot Bottom's Butte was originally planned as an adult cartoon called Bottoms Up, with the storyboard for the pilot's original draft "Woman in Heat" being about Peanette trying to help Beverly get laid (the two hooking up with a pair of twin brothers who are anthropomorphic cigarettes) and ending with Beverly naked.
Toxic Crusaders was a family-friendly cartoon that's liberally adapted from the Toxic Avenger films, which are far more violent, gory and sexualized. Pretty much the only elements that were kept are the gross-out mutations, although there are some adult jokes sneaked in the witty dialogue.
The UK kids series Dodo is based on the short film Not the End of the World which has main character Joe sleeping naked, popular girl Molly smoking and Joe's friend mentioning he heard that Molly let a guy touch her boob. Though the series still has some dirty jokes that only adults and older kids will get.
