Censors aren't as strong in Japan as they are in other countries, such as the United States of America. In America, networks pay creators to air their shows, so networks have more leverage. If a network doesn't like something in a show, they can say, "Change it, or we won't give you any money." In Japan, it's the other way around: creators pay the networks. That means that networks don't have the same power. In fact, creators can fight against censorship by saying, "Accept it as it is, or we won't give you any money." This disparity is also why Japanese cartoons are so much more expensive than American ones; creators have to make their money back because they're paying the network instead of getting paid by them.
