| 16 | The [[InvertedTrope chaste twin]] of HotterAndSexier, when something is {{Tone Shift}}ed to be far less sexual and vulgar than an earlier incarnation or installment. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Possible reasons for this shift in tone include the creators [[ThinkOfTheCensors thinking of the censors]], wanting a bigger audience for their material, or the former sexual content is [[CreatorBacklash considered shameful]]. In a PornWithPlot story, expect the ongoing story to be more invested to the plot and less to the porn. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | One tool creators might use to achieve this includes the DigitalBikini, especially in anime works. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Also related to {{Bowdlerise}}, which is about editing questionable or offensive content from a work; and LighterAndSofter, especially when the work opens itself up for children. See also SelfCensoredRelease when the original creators make a later installment or version with objectionable content removed. |

| 25 | ---- |
| 26 | !!Examples: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 29 | |
| 30 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 31 | * ''VisualNovel/{{Demonbane}}'' is the anime adaptation of series of eroge for the PC, but removing the adult content doesn't impact the mecha/Lovecraft story much. |
| 32 | * The first ''Anime/DevilHunterYohko'' OAV had scenes that bordered on softcore porn, like [[spoiler:a BrainwashedAndCrazy Osamu's AttemptedRape of Yohko]]. However, the OAV after that one was LighterAndSofter to appeal to younger audiences. |
| 33 | * ''Manga/DoujinWork'''s anime adaptation considerably tones down any fanservice from the original manga; even the anime's {{Beach Episode}}s are pretty tame by anime standards. |
| 34 | * ''Manga/TheElectricTaleOfPikachu'' is notoriously HotterAndSexier than anything else ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' related, no small part in thanks to the fact the mangaka is also a hentai artist. Later chapters attempted to tone down the sexuality though, including swapping Misty's {{stripperiffic}} design for something resembling her anime design more. |
| 35 | * In the light novel and manga versions of ''Literature/FarmingLifeInAnotherWorld'', the main character Hiraku runs a village made up mostly of women who keep him up much of the night explicitly trying to become mothers, even setting up locks on the outside of his room so he can't escape. In the anime, while the elves make frequent reference to their desire to have Hiraku help them repopulate their clan, they never act on it, and he deliberately pretends not to notice or understand anything they're saying. Even Hiraku's eventual children are largely removed from the story. [[spoiler:The last few episodes show Lu ending up pregnant, but with hardly even a tacit acknowledgement that she and Hiraku have taken that leap in their relationship, to the point where some anime-only viewers may almost wonder ''how''.]] |
| 36 | * Downplayed with ''Manga/FoodWars'': While the signature foodgasms of the manga can still result in sexy scenes, there have been an equal amount of times where the foodgasms simply are used for comedy rather than fanservice, which includes characters becoming vegetable-themed magical girls, a parody of ''Anime/{{Free}}'', etc. |
| 37 | * The anime adaptation of ''Literature/FromTheNewWorld'' tones down and makes less explicit the sexual elements from the original novel. Meanwhile the manga version [[HotterAndSexier ramps up the fanservice with more revealing clothing and gratuitous makeout scenes]]. |
| 38 | * In ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' along with becoming LighterAndSofter, the {{Fanservice}}, while still very present, is a lot less than in the earliest strips. The earlier strips had a lot more BlackComedyRape and much more HomoeroticSubtext, some so blatant it could only be called text. Some of the old fanservicey strips were even [[OldShame deleted]]. Ironically, inverted with the fifth season of the anime. After 4 seasons of toning down the fanservice, the 5th season goes all out in pandering to the {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s, animating some of the raunchiest strips such as April Fools 2011 and Buon San Valentino. |
| 39 | * The Latin American version of ''Manga/KishinDoujiZenki'' was toned down in various scenes which showed FullFrontalAssault, changing and extending other scenes, since the anime was adapted to be emitted for younger audiences during the "anime fever" of TheNineties. |
| 40 | * The original ''Manga/KOn'' manga had some notable moments of {{Fanservice}} (like Mio's infamous and very blatant PantyShot and many of the costumes [[CosplayOtakuGirl Sawako]] makes), but the anime greatly tones these elements down. |
| 41 | * ''Anime/LuminousWitches'' features the least amount of fanservice and skinship in the ''Manga/WorldWitches'' series so far, and even its resident BeachEpisode is pretty tame by the series' standards. The Luminous Witches' outfits, from their special performance uniforms to their default military getups, are pretty modest and not too revealing. Only Mana's default outfit shows the most skin in the series, and even then, not by much. The lack of a LovableSexManiac and the sparse and almost non-existent use of [[PantyShot panty shots]] are also big contributors. |
| 42 | * ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' is this compared to its parent series ''VisualNovel/TriangleHeart''. While ''Triangle Heart'' is an {{Eroge}}, ''Nanoha'' at most goes for some occasional {{Fanservice}} and is firmly in NoHuggingNoKissing territory. |
| 43 | * ''Anime/MezzoForte'': The two-episode OVA featured full, well-animated, sex scenes worthy of an adult rating. However, the television series cuts out the sex but maintains some of the hardcore violence. |
| 44 | * Zigzagged in ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid''. The anime is, on average, significantly less risque than the manga and focuses more on the themes of found family, but at the same time, Creator/KyotoAnimation added fanservice to scenes where none existed in the manga (most prominently seen in the BeachEpisode, where they had [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl Lucoa]] come along). |
| 45 | * ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'': In early episodes of the ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' anime, Naruto's "Sexy Jutsu" form was completely naked (albeit with CensorSteam), whereas in later ones in ''Naruto Shippuuden'' it's clothed. In ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'', even during the Time-travel arc when they visit the pre-TimeSkip Era Leaf Village, Naruto's Sexy Jutsu is shown fully clothed. |
| 46 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' is known for having a lot of fanservice, but Creator/StudioSHAFT's adaptation ''Anime/NegimaSecondSeason'' has hardly any, instead being a DenserAndWackier QuirkyWork. The [=OVA=]s, however, bring back the fanservice in full force. |
| 47 | * ''Franchise/OnePiece'': ''Anime/OnePieceFilmGold'' took place on a UsefulNotes/LasVegas-style resort island and was full of sexy & busty women in skimpy outfits with lots of jiggly chests and MaleGaze (including from Nami who starts the movie wearing only a bikini). The follow-up film ''Anime/OnePieceStampede'' heavily tones it down, with almost no skimpy outfits and no jiggling. Nami's outfit throughout is even sensible (by her standards). This is likely due to ''Film Gold'' getting heavily edited in China, so Toei didn't want to do that for ''Stampede''. |
| 48 | * ''Manga/OutlawStar'': |
| 49 | ** The early manga has some sexual content the anime cut, most notably a lengthy on-panel sex scene between Gene and Hilda that was changed to [[DidTheyOrDidntThey an offscreen encounter after which they're partially clothed]]. |
| 50 | ** The English TV version on Creator/CartoonNetwork further toned down the anime, adding a DigitalBikini to [[RobotGirl Melfina]] in the first episodes, making [[CampGay Fred Luo]]'s mannerisms and hitting on Gene less blatant, and omitting the HotSpringsEpisode entirely. The DVD releases (and the re-airings on Creator/{{Toonami}}/Creator/AdultSwim) have all the original scenes available, including the censored episode. |
| 51 | * ''Anime/PapillonRose'' lampshades this the New Season by the once perverted cat Rama, saying the titular heroine needs a new weapon and attack move. |
| 52 | * ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': The original LightNovels include a lot of fairly frank discussion of sexuality that is dropped from or diminished in the adaptations (which are marketed to the ShonenDemographic). |
| 53 | ** Neither adaptation includes Chela's suggestion from volume 2 that [[ShapeshiftersDoItForAChange Pete take advantage of being a reversi to experiment sexually]], and episode 13 of the anime cuts Miligan jokingly propositioning Oliver after they win the Battle of Hell's Armies. |
| 54 | ** {{Downplayed|Trope}} with Ophelia Salvadori, whose SexMagic and backstory of sex abuse are so key to volume 3's story it's impossible to avoid completely. However, she's [[https://www.zerochan.net/2630611 depicted]] [[ChildByRape visibly pregnant by rape]] in the {{flashback}} to her first meeting with Carlos Whitrow; the corresponding scene in episode 13 cuts the then-current pregnancy but keeps her line asking Carlos if they're the next "man"[[note]]Carlos was assigned male at birth but magically neutered in order to serve as Ophelia's minder without being vulnerable to her [[SmellsSexy Perfume]], and has a non-binary gender identity.[[/note]] she's expected to breed with. |
| 55 | * ''Saki RE: King's Tile Draw'' is a {{Gender Flip}}ed retelling of the early arcs of ''Manga/{{Saki}}'', but this time played completely straight. Unlike the mainline series increasingly becoming less shy about showing the cast nude, in racy clothing, or upping their busts to multiple times their original size, ''RE'' has the boys stay at one size the whole series and doesn't indulge in any fanservice. |
| 56 | * The original ''Manga/SgtFrog'' manga tends to have a raunchy sense of humor, often using the female characters as vehicles for {{Fanservice}}. The anime still has some occasional fanservice as a ParentalBonus, but it's a lot more toned down in comparison to the manga due to being aimed at a younger audience. Even the art style is modified to look more family-friendly. |
| 57 | * The earliest chapters of ''Manga/SoulEater'' had some rather crass fanservice (for instance, Black Star once lifted up Tsubaki's skirt while interrogating Sid) that later chapters and the anime adaptation leave out. |
| 58 | * Complaints from Japanese parents caused the ''Anime/YokaiWatch'' anime to tone down its jokes in later episodes. |
| 59 | * ''Manga/WorldsEndHarem'' has gotten two flavors of this in its spinoffs: |
| 60 | ** ''Manga/WorldsEndHaremFantasia'', a raunchy fantasy manga with multiple explicit sex scenes, has a HighSchoolAU gag spinoff of its own that's considerably less lewd. |
| 61 | ** ''World's End Harem ~Brittania Lumiere~'' serves as this to the franchise as a whole, being a straight fantasy manga despite the male harem premise. There are a couple of sex scenes that are handled by SexyDiscretionShot. |
| 62 | [[/folder]] |
| 63 | |
| 64 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 65 | * ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'': The comics featured quite a bit of fanservice from the '40s-'80s and had several issues that had the characters making sexual references. Afterward, Creator/{{Archie|Comics}} made an attempt to portray their characters as chaste. This included censoring sexual jokes in re-issues, [[MissingEpisode essentially banning]] certain issues from being re-issued, and attempting to outright {{retcon}} Cheryl Blossom away in the early 2000s. Eventually, Archie did away with these restrictions and in the 2010s began embracing the HotterAndSexier treatment. |
| 66 | * ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'': In the ''ComicBook/New52'', the Star Sapphires costumes aren't nearly as {{stripperiffic}} as the old ones. |
| 67 | * ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'': Riley Rossmo's redesign of Harley Quinn for ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinnRebirth'' gives her a costume that is much less revealing than the notoriously stripperiffic ones she'd worn since the New 52 era. The more cartoony art style also leads to a general reduction in the level of fanservice. |
| 68 | * ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'': In the ''ComicBook/New52'', for about a year Power Girl had a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_powergirlnew52_6447.jpg much more modest costume]] that even lacked her infamous [[CleavageWindow "boob window"]]. |
| 69 | * ''ComicBook/SpiderWoman'': Spider-Woman spent decades as one of Marvel's MsFanservice heroines, with her [[FormFittingWardrobe very skintight outfit]] that highlights her large bust, and frequent MaleGaze shots of her behind. Jessica Drew would then change her costume to a far more modest outfit in her [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman2014 2014 series]], which no longer highlighted her body in such a way and the MaleGaze elements were gone. That said, this ended up being temporary due to StatusQuoIsGod, and the 2019 ''Strikeforce'' saw her returning to the classic skintight outfit once again. |
| 70 | * ''ComicBook/SquadronSupreme'': The original ''ComicBook/SupremePower'' series, being an UltimateUniverse take on the original series for Marvel's MAX imprint, took full advantage of the leniency towards content the mature rating enabled by featuring tons of uncensored nudity. This began to be toned down in later installments (primarily due to them being published under Marvel instead of MAX and therefore having to abide the mainstream publisher's content restrictions), to the extent that the 2006 ''Squadron Supreme'' series had the Amphibian, who initially [[InnocentFanserviceGirl went nude with little concern over what people would think of her]], reluctantly donning a costume per Doctor Spectrum's wishes, the few panels beforehand where she's still naked no longer showing her breasts, genitalia and buttocks unobscured. |
| 71 | * ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'': The ''ComicBook/New52'' era series ''ComicBook/Supergirl2011'', changed Supergirl's costume, while showing a lot of leg, was otherwise very notably downplayed in favor of a more ordinary teenaged girl look. |
| 72 | * ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': [[Characters/TeenTitansStarfire Starfire]] has always been a {{stripperiffic}} MsFanservice but the ComicBook/New52 reboot appearance in ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' made her [[HotterAndSexier more so than before]]. This was met with ''heavy'' criticism, resulting in her eventual redesign in ''ComicBook/Starfire2015'' to be more like her [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 cartoon counterpart]]. Her costume still shows skin but in a far tamer manner. |
| 73 | * ''ComicBook/{{WildCATS|WildStorm}}'': Void has an appearance that is essentially "what if the ComicBook/SilverSurfer was a hot woman?" Her original appearance was of a human face on a silver female body that accentuated all her curves. The rebooted version present in ''ComicBook/TheWildStorm'' has the same backstory of a Russian woman who was changed by a space experiment, but she wears her astronaut outfit, which isn't form-fitting and gives off more of a cute vibe. Taken a step further it's revealed that this isn't her real appearance, but just something she does to appear more human -- she's actually a faceless silver humanoid figure that possesses no physical sexual characteristics at all. |
| 74 | * ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': This was about the only area where Wonder Woman Post Crisis [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 volume 2]] was tamer than [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 volume 1]]. George Perez was just as kinky and politically outspoken as William Moulton Marston, but Perez's kinks weren't ''tied'' to his politics in the same way Marston's were and Perez was coming in on the heels of decades editorial spent trying to tone down the kinky elements of Wonder Woman. [[ComicBook/WonderWoman2011 Volume 4]], if not exactly ''kinky'', otherwise went back to the levels of sexual subtext and overtness as volume 1. |
| 75 | * ''ComicBook/XMen'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsPsylocke Elizabeth "Betsy" Braddock]] gets to play with this trope thanks to ''ComicBook/Excalibur2019''. For years after she had her mind swapped with the ninja assassin Kwannon, Betsy was known for her "ninja thong swimsuit". Once she reclaimed her original body, she started to tone it down. Now that Kwannon is in her old body again and is pulling that shift with that outfit, Betsy gets to become ComicBook/CaptainBritain and the armor she wears covers a ''lot'' of skin. |
| 76 | [[/folder]] |
| 77 | |
| 78 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 79 | * Disney's ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' provides two examples: |
| 80 | ** Tinker Bell has become so iconic that she's basically Disney's second mascot, right after WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse; she also has her own spin-off franchise with ''Franchise/DisneyFairies.'' As such, a lot of images and merchandise tones down her original, pinup-esque design (as well as [[AdaptationalNiceGuy making her]] more of a PluckyGirl instead of a ClingyJealousGirl), though you can find some of the older design [[MultipleDemographicAppeal targeted for older fans]]. |
| 81 | ** ''WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand'' also has all the mermaids wearing tops. In the original, some were only covered by GodivaHair or leis. |
| 82 | [[/folder]] |
| 83 | |
| 84 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 85 | * ''Film/TheBlueLagoon1949'', unlike its [[Literature/TheBlueLagoon source novel]], has its sexual content toned down, which can be attributed to the implementation of MediaNotes/TheHaysCode. |
| 86 | * ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'' has almost none of the raunchy sexual humor that Creator/MichaelBay's predecessors had. The female protagonist is also nearly fully clothed throughout the film, unlike the female characters in Bay's series. |
| 87 | * In ''Film/BirdsOfPrey2020'', [[Characters/DCEUHarleyQuinn Harley Quinn]]'s costumes are a bit less revealing than in ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', but more importantly the film has much, much less MaleGaze. This continued in ''Film/TheSuicideSquad''. |
| 88 | * ''{{Literature/Carrie}}'': |
| 89 | ** The [[Film/Carrie1976 1976 film]] removed all sex scenes between Sue and Tommy, likewise deleting a subplot that involved Sue thinking she might be pregnant because of it. Chris and Billy's two graphic trysts with QuestionableConsent are also toned down to Chris about to give him fully consensual oral sex. The film also however goes the other way round; the scene in the showers at the start, given a handful of sentences in the book, becomes a slow-motion {{Fanservice}} sequence of various girls naked or getting dressed. Additionally, Carrie is given a bathtub scene where she washes off the pig's blood. |
| 90 | ** The [[Film/Carrie2002 2002 film]] toned down the shower scene from the 1976 film - where the girls are either in {{Modesty Towel}}s or only showing bras. Chris and Billy are shown in bed together, but Chris has a ModestyBedsheet. Carrie's bathtub scene happens again but this time, she's fully clothed. |
| 91 | ** The [[Film/Carrie2013 2013 film]] likewise has no nudity in the shower scene (as Chloe Grace Moretz was only sixteen at the time); Carrie is nude when it happens in the book and other two films but is wearing a ModestyTowel here. Tommy and Sue get their sex scene restored, but Chris and Billy don't have theirs; a deleted scene did show some foreplay, but it was fully clothed. Ironically, the film does apply AdaptationalSkimpiness to the first gym class scene; a volleyball game in 1976 and baseball in 2002, it now happens in a pool to get the girls into swimsuits (and give Tommy a ShirtlessScene). |
| 92 | * Rum Tum Tugger in ''Film/{{Cats}}'' is still MrFanservice but isn't as flamboyant or as sexualized as his traditional version in the ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'' play. |
| 93 | * ''Film/EvanAlmighty'' lacks most of the raunchy humor of ''Film/BruceAlmighty''. |
| 94 | * ''Film/TheLovelyBones'' omits the book's very graphic rape sequence between Mr Harvey and Susie, to spare the fourteen-year-old Saoirse Ronan having to film such a scene. The book has a sequence where Susie possesses Ruth and uses her body to have sex with Ray; the film changes it to just a kiss. Any other sex scenes from the book aren't depicted. |
| 95 | * ''Film/SpaceJamANewLegacy'' notably reduced Lola Bunny's bust size and toned down her sexualization in the [[Film/SpaceJam first film.]] |
| 96 | * ''Film/FridayThe13thPartVIJasonLives'' has the distinction of being the only ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' film without any nudity, going out of its way to tone down the gratuitous sex and {{fanservice}} that had gotten previous entries criticized for being exploitative (it does feature a sex scene, but [[RightThroughHisPants the characters keep on enough clothing that nothing is visible]], and it's [[PlayedForLaughs played for comedy rather than titillation]]). Things went back to normal in the next installment. |
| 97 | [[/folder]] |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 100 | * The [[Film/LogansRun film]] and [[Series/LogansRun TV]] adaptations of ''Literature/LogansRun'' ''had'' to be by comparison to the novels, which was a case of [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools tropes are not bad]] and [[JustifiedTrope understandably so]]. The original novel had things like orgy houses with glass walls where strangers could hook up, watch, and be watched by others having anonymous sex, with a ''thirteen-year-old girl'' propositioning the protagonist by saying she was sexually skilled above all others available and another minor character saying she was sexually involved with a boy ("boys" and "girls" in this setting means ages 7-13)! Casual drug use was also very common. Needless to say, the adaptations bumped the death age from 21 to 30 and ''greatly'' toned down the oversexed setting. They also changed Logan's character from a near-sociopath ConsummateProfessional hitman who had been looking for Sanctuary in order to be a legend in destroying it in the original books to a bit more of an AdaptationalNiceGuy; Creator/MichaelYork's Logan was more or less a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who got drafted into the job, and Gregory Harrison's was a soft-spoken HitmanWithAHeart who was already questioning things before he ended up running. |
| 101 | * ''Literature/GrandmasterOfDemonicCultivationMoDaoZuShi'': |
| 102 | ** The animated adaptation of the novel tones down a lot of the overt eroticism and {{Gorn}} from the novel and removes the sexual content entirely due to Chinese censorship regulations. Censorship also forces Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's relationship to be downplayed and never stated onscreen to be romantic (Wei Wuxian's hammy acting as Mo Xuanyu aside), though the Ship Tease is enough to drive the point home to viewers by the epilogue. The chibi spinoff (which is already LighterAndSofter) similarly tones down the romance, although it's less subtle on the premise that it's a gag series with questionable canonicity and shouldn't be taken seriously. |
| 103 | ** ''Series/TheUntamed'' greatly tones down all disturbing aspects of the novel and removes all the romantic aspects between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji turning them into HeterosexualLifePartners instead to pass censorship while still keeping the original dynamic between the two. |
| 104 | * While ''Literature/TheMissus'' by Creator/ELJames [[DownplayedTrope does still have sexual content]] (it's erotica after all), there are fewer sex scenes and they generally aren't as explicit compared to ''Literature/TheMister'' (and especially ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'', the author's BDSM-themed breakthrough book series which is implied to be set in the [[SharedUniverse same universe]]), with much of the sexual stuff being more suggestive or relying on innuendo rather than detailed descriptions of sex acts. |
| 105 | [[/folder]] |
| 106 | |
| 107 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 108 | * Season 1 of ''Series/AlteredCarbon'' featured a copious amount of nudity while the LighterAndSofter second season only had a single brief nude scene. |
| 109 | * The ''Franchise/{{Arrowverse}}'' in general has less skintight and skimpy costumes than the comics the various shows are based on, partially due to the reality of costuming and stunt work, partially due to the CW's large teen audience, and partially due to a desire to downplay the sexualization of their cast. |
| 110 | * ''Series/BreakingBad'' had a bit more sex in its first season, best exemplified by the Pilot episode which features a topless woman and ends with Walt having anal sex with his wife, Skyler. As the series progressed, sex was put in a lot less focus, and whenever characters did do the deed, it usually just showed them PostSex with a ModestyBedsheet. |
| 111 | * ''{{Series/Charmed 1998}}'''s final season became this, in heavy contrast to the {{Fanservice}} heavy fifth and sixth seasons (the seventh was somewhere in the middle). This is due to all three lead actresses protesting the skimpy outfits, so the Halliwells no longer get turned into {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, and Phoebe's wardrobe in particular is toned down. Creator/HollyMarieCombs' pregnancy meant that [[HideYourPregnancy her clothes would be more modest]]. A new character, Billie, was introduced to fill the MsFanservice requirements, but she didn't go as far as the sisters had in previous seasons. |
| 112 | * ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'': When it was discovered, a few episodes into the first season, that the show was becoming popular with children, the producers toned down the sexual content considerably. While Bo was still popular with the ladies, references to his sexual adventures were cut, and while Daisy continued to dress in skimpy clothing she behaved in a more modest and less flirtatious way. |
| 113 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'': The first three seasons weren't averse to erotic scenes at all. Season 4 onwards contains far fewer of them. Creator/EmiliaClarke in particular became more confident haggling with producers about topless scenes and, while Daenerys would have many love scenes, she would usually wear a ModestyBedsheet or have ToplessnessFromTheBack. |
| 114 | * ''Series/GhostWhisperer'' had Melinda in a very sexy and skimpy wardrobe in the first season. To save costs, it was toned down from the second onwards. |
| 115 | * ''Series/NYPDBlue'' started as a very GrimAndGritty PoliceProcedural with nudity and swearing on broadcast TV. After the first year, the nudity was toned down and eventually disappeared, and the swearing likewise dwindled during the course of the show, so that by the end of the run a viewer would be hard-pressed to find anything out of the ordinary about it. |
| 116 | * Although ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has never been blatantly oversexualized, the early seasons did make use of the fact that its two male leads are very attractive, using [[MrFanService shirtless scenes]], sex scenes, lots of talk of one-nighters, and the tag line "Scary is the new Sexy". By the seventh season, these have all but disappeared and it's rare to see any of the leads not fully dressed in three layers. In-universe, it's a sign of the characters aging in a "been there, done that" fashion. When the series started, Dean was 26 and Sam was 22; by [[LongRunners season 15]] they'll be 41 and 37, respectively. |
| 117 | * The first season of ''Series/{{Westworld}}'' had lots of nudity and sex scenes, with the Hosts being frequently used as {{Sex Bot}}s for the guests among their other purposes as well as also featuring an onscreen orgy. While sexual content is still present in later seasons, far fewer instances occur. |
| 118 | * ''Series/TheWitcher2019'': |
| 119 | ** Geralt and Yennefer don't appear quite as [[ReallyGetsAround libertine]] as in the books. Granted, that hardly makes either chaste. |
| 120 | ** The show in general also greatly reduces the amount of on-screen sexual violence that was present in the books, including omitting a scene where Yenn is sexually assaulted by Reavers (which also makes Yarpin a more sympathetic character given he was willing to go along with a plan to gang-rape her after killing the dragon), removing the infamous love potion-enabled DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale between Triss and Geralt when the former came to Kaer Morhen, and so far leaving any inclusion of rape to being referenced in backstory. |
| 121 | ** Season 2 and 3 have almost no nudity or sexual content to speak of, to the point where four sorceresses stripping to share a bath is filmed in cutaways that would fit in a PG-13 film. |
| 122 | [[/folder]] |
| 123 | |
| 124 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 125 | * The novelization of "Music/BannedFromArgo" tells the story behind the BawdySong's lyrics, with the seemingly sexual situations involving Kirk, Spock, and Nurse Chapel having other explanations, and Sulu's plants "seducing" the governor's wife being a hysterical exaggeration by the man to explain his wife leaving him. |
| 126 | * Music/JanetJackson's 2015 album ''Unbreakable'' was almost free of sexual content, and is very tame compared to her previous albums. |
| 127 | * {{Music/Jewel}} mostly returned to her chaste folk/country roots after her polarizing pop album. |
| 128 | * Zigzagged but mostly played straight with Music/XJapan over the 2008 reunion and forward, which used to have songs such as "Stab Me In The Back", "Orgasm", "Standing Sex", and the like -- as well as lots of onstage man-on-man fanservice - as a regular feature of the setlist for almost all live shows. Post-2008, "Orgasm" was the only one to remain in the setlist (and only then) for certain shows for the full version -- the gigs outside Japan didn't even feature the full version if they featured it at all), and most of the homoerotic fanservice became more of the WittyBanter and CallBack variety. |

| 132 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 133 | * Wrestling/TrishStratus was introduced as a MsFanservice valet, who filmed seductive vignettes rolling around on tables, had an affair with Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, and competed in bra and panties matches. Around 2002-2003, when she TookALevelInBadass, her character became much less sexual, her ring gear was more modest and focus was more on her wrestling than sex appeal. While her 2004 heel turn did see her initially as an evil seductress who broke Chris Jericho's heart, she did end up back in the wrestling role again. |
| 134 | * Wrestling/MickieJames debuted as a PsychoLesbian who wrestled in short skirts and would sometimes plant a kiss on her opponents to distract them before her finisher. Around the time WWE switched to PG, Mickie was the KidAppealCharacter. |
| 135 | * Wrestling/CandiceMichelle was a sexy valet who seduced Vince [=McMahon=] and competed in Playboy Pillow Fights in her first two years in WWE. Like Trish Stratus, she focused on her ring work and adopted slightly more modest ring attire. |
| 136 | * {{Wrestling/Melina}}'s initial ring entrance had her doing the splits slowly and seductively on the ring apron, usually while wearing a short skirt to allow a panty shot - and the first match she competed in was a Bra & Panties one. She too eventually became a more serious wrestler, swapping the skirts for long tights, and the splits were done in a way to highlight the impressive athleticism rather than just sex appeal. |
| 137 | * Wrestling/MariaKanellis was forced to stop doing the Bronco Buster in the ring once WWE switched to PG. |
| 138 | * Wrestling/KellyKelly debuted doing a striptease segment on ECW, competed in swimsuit contests, and was part of a MsFanservice dance trio called 'Extreme Expose'. After the PG switch, she was portrayed as more of a GirlNextDoor. And while they would draw attention to whenever she graced the cover of a magazine like Maxim and she did the stink face in some of her matches, she was pushed as a more serious wrestler with a GoodIsNotNice persona. |
| 139 | * Wrestling/{{Layla}} too was part of 'Extreme Expose', and a MsFanservice from her Diva Search days. Then in 2008, she became William Regal's modest 'queen' and later after becoming part of Wrestling/LayCool, she was more TheDitz. She did reverse this in 2014 when she became Fandango's dance partner and had a few {{Catfight}}s with Summer Rae. |
| 140 | * Downplayed with Wrestling/MollyHolly. She was already a TokenWholesome amongst the sexualized Divas when she debuted in 2000 (having told WWE she would not do risque storylines), but she did provide mild {{Fanservice}} with her ring gear showing slight cleavage, the occasional SexySantaDress and swimsuit shoots for the Divas. A 2002 FaceHeelTurn saw her character becoming a self-righteous prude who hated any sexuality and targeted Divas who flaunted their bodies. There was also a swimsuit contest where she competed wearing a demure 1950s-style bathing suit, and the 'Divas Undressed' lingerie shoot had her wearing modest pajamas. |
| 141 | * Wrestling/MichelleMcCool debuted as part of the Diva Search, where she'd be wearing a bikini every other week, and later became a sexy teacher who dropped innuendos in promos. Around 2007, she turned into an AllAmericanFace whose ring gear was slightly more modest. Even with her 2009 heel run, she avoided becoming more sexual - first as a ruthless BloodKnight and second as a ditzy AlphaBitch. |
| 142 | * Wrestling/JillianHall was [[BuxomBeautyStandard initially known for her huge breasts]], and a storyline in OVW involved her implants leaking into her brain to turn her into a DumbBlonde. In WWE, one of her moves would literally be giving another Diva MarshmallowHell. Around WWE's PG switch, this was dropped and they focused more on her being a DreadfulMusician. |

| 144 | |
| 145 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 146 | * ''Toys/{{Bratz}}'': |
| 147 | ** The dolls were always controversial for being too sexualized and mature for their target audience of 9-to-12-year-olds. In the 2010s, the series attempted to retool itself with a more G-rated image. Gone was the emphasis on fashion, the dolls were now about creativity and taking selfies. This turned the title of the series into a bit of TheArtifact as the girls were no longer "bratty". The reboot ended up bombing. They also created the ''Toys/{{Bratzillaz}}'' line of dolls, which were cuter in style but were "creepy" dolls [[FollowTheLeader based on]] ''Toys/MonsterHigh''. |
| 148 | ** The ''Bratz'' Babyz originally dressed in AgeInappropriateDress, with their styles being copies of their teenage counterparts' clothes. This was later toned down so that the girls dress more like normal children, and the ''Bratz Kidz'' line released even later showed the girls dressed more like how one would typically expect kids of that age range to ([[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bratzfan/images/4/4f/Sleep-Over_Adventure_-_Yasmin_%28Wallpaper%29.jpg ref]]). |
| 149 | * ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' itself had a lot of {{Parental Bonus}}es that was eliminated once the franchise got rebooted. |
| 150 | [[/folder]] |
| 151 | |
| 152 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 153 | * ''VideoGame/ActionTaimanin:'' By virtue of being the first non-hentai game of the franchise. |
| 154 | ** While Kotaro gets plenty of ShipTease and suggestive interaction with almost every character, nothing explicit happens (either on-screen or off) between them and he is a NiceGuy that doesn't even qualifies as a ChivalrousPervert here, whereas his appearances in other games had him explicitly form a harem and having sex with the girls. In ''Battle Arena'', he’s outright brainwashing and raping some of them. |
| 155 | ** While [[VillainTakesAnInterest Edwin Black is still interested in Asagi]], it is severely downplayed (helped by Black making only a couple of appearances in the story) compared to the visual novels where one of his main goals was to make her his wife[=/=]SexSlave (and he succeeded in a few of the bad endings). |
| 156 | ** Likewise, the monsters' and demons' general desire to rape the Taimanin is extremely downplayed, even if still hinted at a couple of times. |
| 157 | ** The outfits worn by the characters are (relatively) tamer as well. For example, Rinko's original appearance had her nipples visibly poking through the suit, but here they are covered. |
| 158 | ** {{Succubi|AndIncubi}} are present, and while they are clearly after (preferably young) men to charm and enthrall for "fun", the most we actually ''see'' them do to their victims is using them as servants, masseurs, or swindling them out of their money. |
| 159 | * ''Videogame/BattleToads2020'' changed the design of notoriously stripperiffic villainess The Dark Queen from her black teddy and thigh-high boots to a practically Puritan black and purple jumpsuit. The game even threw in a TakeThatAudience aimed at people who disliked the change where the Dark Queen throws a minor character out of an airlock for criticizing it. |
| 160 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' is a series of StylishAction games with its fair share of vulgarity and a titular teasing HotWitch character who uses her hair as both clothing and a weapon (meaning the stronger the attack, the more nude she becomes). The spin-off game ''VideoGame/BayonettaOriginsCerezaAndTheLostDemon'' stars said character as a prepubescent girl and lacks the usual adult language and fanservice as a result, in addition to taking on a stylized fairy tale art style. |
| 161 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bombshell}}'' and its prequel ''VideoGame/IonFury'', despite their relation to the ''VideoGame/DukeNukem'' series, has very little if any sexualization. Amusingly, ''Ion Fury'' itself is BloodierAndGorier in relation to the other two. |
| 162 | * ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive6'' initially marketed itself with less lewd material to focus more on the gameplay, even showing in trailers and gameplay more males (Hayabusa, Zack, Jann Lee, and Hayate) than females (Kasumi and Helena), both of them with fewer curves and more coverage (especially Kasumi). As the game continued to add stripperiffic}} costumes for the ladies over time, this became increasingly subverted. |
| 163 | * ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'': |
| 164 | ** Zig-zagged with [[MusicalAssassin Zhenji]], whose outfit seems to rotate between modest and revealing every game. She starts out {{stripperiffic}} in ''3'', then turns modest in ''4'', then back to Stripperrific in ''5'', then back to modest in ''6'', then ''back'' to stripperiffic again in ''7'' before finally settling on modest for good from ''8'' onward. |
| 165 | ** Bao Sanniang. In her debut game, she bares her cleavage, midriff, and legs. In ''8'', her suit covers most of her upper body, although her cleavage and legs are prominently shown. In ''9'', her outfit covers all of her upper body, and she now wears thigh armor which deemphasizes her legs. |
| 166 | ** ''9'' in general tones down many of the series' blatantly and unrealistically provocative clothing in favor of more practical ones. Resident MsFanservice Diaochan, for example, replaces her literally Chinese stripper attire from ''8'' with a classy blouse, although she still bares her left leg. Even the male characters are affected; Zhang Bao, [[MrFanservice well-known]] in his debut game for taking a cue from his father and [[WalkingShirtlessScene baring his torso]] (showing his ripped abs in the process) is now more modestly dressed. |
| 167 | * The first two games in ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsArena Arena]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'', both feature topless female characters and generally sexier outfits. Starting with ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', topless characters are removed and clothing in general becomes much more conservative. Come ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', AmazonianBeauty [[HornyVikings Nords]] and NubileSavage outfits (such as the Fur and Forsworn armor sets) make a comeback but are still nowhere near as sexualized as earlier entries in the series. The [[GameMod modding]] community, [[HotterAndSexier on the other hand...]] |
| 168 | * ''Videogame/{{EverQuest II}}'' zig-zagged this trope. When Update 64 came out Antonia Bayle - the game's "mascot" who'd previously dressed in a bra and a belt with a sash - went through a PlotRelevantAgeUp and switched her bra and sash for a relatively demure gown. On the other hand, halter-top armor was introduced about this same time, and a couple of stripperiffic villainesses (Cara Omica and Sullon Zek) were introduced. |
| 169 | * ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' is far cleaner than [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} the other games in the series]]. There are no brothels (even though Goodneighbor is based on Scollay Square, which was once a Red Light District in its real-life namesake), prostitutes, or sex slaves anywhere in the game, and raider women tend to dress far more modestly. Outside of implications in a single character's backstory, there is also not a single instance of rape, despite [[CrapsackWorld the setting]]. If the player romances any of the companions, consummation is a simple fade-to-black, a cartoony picture of Vault Boy waking up only wearing pants, and a mildly suggestive comment, as opposed to [[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas the previous game]] going for a much longer fade-to-black and [[TheImmodestOrgasm loud moaning]]. |
| 170 | * After ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' received criticism for class outfits that are [[WTHCostumingDepartment one thread short of an M-rating]], ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]]'' and ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' featured more modest character designs. |
| 171 | * ''VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4'' has absolutely no sex scenes and minigames, and in contrast to the previous entries, every female character that appears in the game is portrayed with much less emphasis on their sexuality, including Kratos' late wife. |
| 172 | * ''VideoGame/GuiltyGearStrive'' follows this direction with the entire cast wearing much more urban-inspired fashion, which consequently has everyone looking more covered than they have ever been. And the game itself also follows a more restrained style compared to the more bombastic one of the series' past. |
| 173 | * After being HotterAndSexier in the [[VideoGame/Halo3 third]] and [[VideoGame/Halo4 fourth]] installments, Cortana from ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' was redesigned so she doesn't look like she's nude anymore and, as of [[VideoGame/Halo5Guardians the fifth game]], has a spacesuit-esque body. It helps that as of 2015, she is practically Microsoft's mascot, although outside of ''Halo'' she is represented as a blue circular [[StealthPun halo]]. |
| 174 | * While the ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' series has had a fairly dark and adult tone since the third game, ''Contracts'', the devs seem to have felt that they may have taken things a bit too far with the fifth game, ''Absolution'', whose lurid, ''Film/{{Grindhouse}}''-inspired aesthetic (including a team of S&M latex-wearing dominatrix nuns as enemies) was widely panned by famous cultural critics and even mainstream press outlets. The sixth and seventh games in the series, ''Hitman'' and ''Hitman 2'', were a return to the more Franchise/JamesBond-esque "international man of mystery" vibe of the first two games in the series, and the games even include an ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''-style disclaimer stating that the games were made by a diverse, multi-gender, multi-ethnic team. |
| 175 | * ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' zig-zags this trope compared to [[Franchise/MassEffect the previous games]]: your squadmates now wear more conservative clothing this time around ([[VideoGame/MassEffect2 the former squadmate who wore nothing but tattoos from the waist up included]]), and mentions of sex outside of romance subplots take a back seat to trying to save the galaxy. On the other hand, the sex scenes are even more risque than [[VideoGame/MassEffect1 the first game]], showing much more skin than before. |
| 176 | * In ''VideoGame/MortalKombatX'', female characters (most notably [[LadyOfWar Kitana]]) wear clothes that cover more than [[Franchise/MortalKombat previous entries]], as the design team strove for outfits that were more realistic while still appealing. |
| 177 | ** ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'' would tone down sexiness to an even greater extent, among the most notable being Skarlet--who trades in the [[{{Stripperiffic}} barely-there]] [[ChainmailBikini wear]] from [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 her debut]] to a red/black bodysuit for assassination that reveals her face and cleavage ''at the most''. |
| 178 | * The original release for ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden 3 (2012)'' really tried to make the series a little more grounded, with Ryu only equipping what he has in hand, no unexplained magic save statues, etc. That also extends in the attempt to tone down the provocative designs the series has been known for under Team Ninja’s hands, all new females seen are dressed quite modestly compared to what the series has provided before, with only Momiji sticking out as she still wears her original outfit. Then comes the ''Razor’s Edge'' re-release in 2013, the same way it tried to undo some of the attempts at making the series more grounded, it also brought back some of the risqué content, the new cutscenes with Ayane containing some little nudity and gratuitous breast jiggling. |
| 179 | * ''Webcomic/{{Omoriboy}}'' never directly showed sexual content, but it was implied through Omori's laptop showing racy pictures and him always having tissue boxes nearby, as well as his introductory panel having him admit he masturbates frequently. His counterpart in ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'' is a much more melancholy preteen, so his laptop instead shows static and the tissues were said to dry his tears. |
| 180 | * The ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'', a franchise that's ''very'' well-known for its emphasis on fanservice, temporarily became this in ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburV'', in which the new head of the dev team, Daishi Odashima, specifically wanted the series to be taken more seriously and be less dependent on it. Ivy, [[MsFanservice the poster girl for fanservice in the series]], received a more modest outfit, while many of the other female fighters were cut out due to a 17-year TimeSkip as smaller-chested successors took their place. One of the few returning female combatants was Hilde, the armor-wearing TokenWholesome princess from ''IV'', still as wholesome as ever, though this was arguably counterbalanced by fellow veteran Tira--never a modest dresser to begin with--having perhaps her most scanty default attire to date, as well as newcomer Elysium [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith taking on the form of]] [[spoiler:Sophitia, but with even less clothing than the Grecian holy warrior wore in ''III'' and ''IV'']]. Furthermore, there was much less MaleGaze and butt {{jiggle physics}} were cut. |
| 181 | * ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' is a ''minor'' case. Many of the {{Fanservice}} elements and {{stripperiffic}} potential is still very much there, right up to the Sex Appeal slider and a pretty lengthy segment where the player spends a whole mission in the nude for a very justifiable reason (although it's not sexualized at all), but unlike ''VideoGame/SaintsRowTheThird'' the game is not overdosed with sex jokes at every turn--in fact, there are very little, and with more general humor, ReferenceOverdosed, and AffectionateParody in their place. |
| 182 | ** And then ''VideoGame/SaintsRowGatOutOfHell'' had no nudity at all, with the references to the Lust sin simply being PlayedForLaughs. In Europe, it even received a lower rating (PEGI 16) because of this (as well as the fact that almost all of the enemies aren't human-looking anymore). |
| 183 | * ''VideoGame/AgentsOfMayhem'', the ''Saints Row'' SpinOff, takes it much further. This time around, the fanservice is minimal at best, with many women not being played for fanservice at all. The game even includes a fully-covered Middle Eastern heroine as a playable character. |
| 184 | * ''VideoGame/TheSims'': |
| 185 | ** Since ''[[VideoGame/TheSims3 3]]'', they have made Woohoo less explicit. In ''[[VideoGame/TheSims1 1]]'', using the vibration bed introduced in the ''Livin' Large'' {{expansion|Pack}} (the only way to have sex in the game), Sims are naked (but pixellated) when they get out from under the covers. In ''[[VideoGame/TheSims2 2]]'', Woohooing (now can be done in any double bed) will end with both participants wearing underwear and the default setting has a rather raunchy, although still PG-level, cutscene. In ''3'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheSims4 4]]'', Woohooing is basically just shown as is above the sheet, and it ends with both participants wearing what they wore previously. Even if one managed to no clip, the movements are completely random and anatomically impossible instead of anything titillating. |
| 186 | ** Although all the games have been rated T, the first game had a bit more raunchy elements to it than subsequent games. In addition to the vibrating bed that Sims use while naked, there were things like seriously revealing clothing sets in ''Livin' Large'' and ''House Party'' and scantily-clad dancers that [[JumpingOutOfACake jumped out of a birthday cake]], among several other things. |
| 187 | * Rouge the Bat, MsFanservice of ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', was given a bodysuit in ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'', covering her shoulders, arms, and back and intending to make Rouge less provocative. [[SubvertedTrope The effect was the opposite]] and she was changed back to her revealing catsuit in future titles. In general, Rouge is a tamer in every game after ''Videogame/SonicAdventure2'', which gave the bat very revealing alternative outfits. |
| 188 | * ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry2LookingForLoveInSeveralWrongPlaces'', became infamous for having the sexual humor of the original tone downed considerably (at the request of Creator/{{Sierra}} Online) compared to ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry''. This is a big reason why the game does not include any age verification (unlike the first game) and is also likely why the game was not as big of a seller either. Al Lowe and Sierra Online would correct their mistake in [[VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry3PassionatePattiInPursuitOfThePulsatingPectorals the third game of the series]], which marked a return to sexual humor. |
| 189 | * Lara Croft from the ''Franchise/TombRaider'' series went through a good portion of her life as a video game icon with two major traits: she is a badass adventurer and she is quite sexy, Lara’s image was heavily promoted as such for about 12 years, through two separate continuities; however, [[VideoGame/TombRaider2013 the third continuity]] which began in 2013 presented itself with a new take on Lara’s image, while she remains the same adventurer as always, the sex symbol image was discarded, despite Lara remaining as beautiful as always, she isn’t presented with sexually suggestive profiling and clothing anymore. |
| 190 | * Jill Valentine in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'' wore a tube top, mini skirt, and boots. Jill's outfit got a redesign in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Remake'' where she now wears a tank top and jeans for practicality. Even her original outfit, available as DLC, was redesigned with a skort instead of a mini skirt, likely to avoid [[PantyShot Panty Shots]] now that the camera angles are no longer fixed like the original game. |
| 191 | * A company-wide version: Since the release of the Platform/PlayStation4, Sony has implemented new content rules for developers, limiting sexual content and fanservice in games released on Sony's consoles. This is ironic since Sony originally made its name in gaming for having virtually no licensing restrictions as the HotterAndSexier and RatedMForManly alternatives when compared to Nintendo. To further the irony, there have been games that have been censored for the [=Playstation 4=], such as ''VideoGame/OmegaLabyrinthLife'', that have been released ''uncensored'' on the ''Nintendo'' Switch! |
| 192 | * ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' has considerably less {{Fanservice}} baked into the character designs than [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 its predecessor]], which was [[BestKnownForTheFanservice infamous]] for its main heroine's {{stripperiffic}} outfit. It also contains almost no innuendo or sex-related humor, though that's partly a side effect of the main cast being born in PeopleJars and thus having no knowledge of sexual reproduction in the first place. |
| 193 | [[/folder]] |
| 194 | |
| 195 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 196 | * ''VisualNovel/GrisaiaPhantomTrigger'' is the fourth installment of the ''[[VisualNovel/GrisaiaSeries Grisaia]]'' series (not counting spin-offs and side stories) and the first to be a non-eroge. |
| 197 | * ''[[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} NEKOPARA -catboys paradise-]]'' is the [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] entry in the ''NEKOPARA'' series, and the least raunchy of the games. While the other entries are H-Games with all-ages versions available, ''-Catboys Paradise-'' was developed as an all-ages title from the start. |
| 198 | [[/folder]] |
| 199 | |
| 200 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 201 | * The first part of ''Webcomic/EnnuiGo'' saw the characters engage in numerous on-panel sex and nude scenes. The second part reduced the sexual content down to only mentions and implications. It's justified by the change in characters -- the main cast in the first part were a group of fully legal adults, while the main cast in the second part are entirely underage. |
| 202 | [[/folder]] |
| 203 | |
| 204 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 205 | * ''Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'': The Chipettes started off as tame {{Distaff Counterpart}}s to the main trio, but by the mid-'80s they were (intentionally or not) much less tame than before. They often wore {{Age Inappropriate|Dress}} outfits and did risque dance moves for characters who were implied to be eight at least once. The ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' live-action film attempted to do away with their midriff-baring outfits and short skirts. ''WesternAnimation/AlvinnnAndTheChipmunks'' portrays them in a similar fashion. |
| 206 | * ''WesternAnimation/BettyBoop'' is possibly one of the earliest examples -- the advent of MediaNotes/TheHaysCode forced the producers of the cartoon to change her from a flirtatious flapper in a very short dress to a much more conservatively dressed spinster/career girl. This was eventually undone years later. Betty Boop has since gone back to being a sexy flapper in a [[LadyInRed red dress]]. |
| 207 | * ''Cadillacs and Dinosaurs'' is an adaptation of ComicBook/XenozoicTales which removes much of the violence and sexualization of the comic book. So no assassination of the Terhune Brothers and no nude Hannah Dundee or her in a barbarian fur bikini. |
| 208 | * ''WesternAnimation/DeadEndParanormalPark'' is a kid's cartoon, but ''Webcomic/DeadEndia'', the webcomic the show is based on, has plenty of sex jokes and scenes, including one of the characters getting AIDS. |
| 209 | * ''WesternAnimation/Invincible2021'', in addition to the early 2000's edgy jokes being removed from the show, it also removes the gratuitous {{Fanservice}} it had concerning how super heroines, female villains, and female aliens were portrayed in the comics, many, if not most, of them were in the MostCommonSuperpower group, with curves for days, often dressed in skintight LeotardOfPower to outright {{stripperiffic}} outfits, and battle damage leaving said women with MaleGaze gaps in their clothing could happen as well. The show has all women more modestly dressed, with more average curves and battle damage is not fetishized in any way. |
| 210 | * ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' not only had heavy amounts of sexual innuendo but used transformations to check every item in the fetish list (giantess, shrinking woman, muscle growth, weight gain, age progression, age regression, werewolf-like transformation, etc.). The spinoff, ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez'', has none of that. |
| 211 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'': Whilst Scanlan is still very much a LovableSexManiac who wants to do anyone, he's a lot more respectful about it than he was in ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', especially in the way he flirts with Pike. |
| 212 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheNewAnimatedSeries'' is an odd example, given it is a considerably DarkerAndEdgier and RuderAndCruder compared to the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' directed by Creator/SamRaimi (the show [[BroadStrokes loosely follows]] the continuity of the [[Film/SpiderMan1 first film]]) but in terms of sexual content, the series is a lot more tamer. While sexual relationships between characters are heavily implied, the first movie famously had [[Creator/KirstenDunst Mary Jane Watson]] in a SexySoakedShirt, Peter Parker and Norman Osborn had [[ShirtlessScene shirtless scenes]] and the sequels also had a lot more {{fanservice}} than the animated show. |
