If the dubs aren't disturbed through a common streaming service, I don't see why every dub would need to be effected just because one or two countries have censorship problems. Steven Universe (I think) has various dubs, some more censored than others. And with other anime dubs, it's common for different countries to have varying changes and edits, so there may not be any consistency with dubs and edits. (i.e. the Mew Mew dub)

The problem with localization is that it could be interpreted as 'white-washing' if all Japanese cultural references are removed or viewed as foreign. There are dubs were the characters are renamed, but the show is still kept in Japan (The French and Italian Mew Mew dubs). It's also interesting that certain kids in Europe can handle Japanese names (Italian and Albanians Precure dubs?), whereas North American kids need them to be westernized.

And yes, Doki Doki was definitely butchered due to money issues.
