* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' of all games faced this problem. During the middle of [[UsefulNotes/FightingGameCommunity the EVO 2016 finals]], Creator/{{ESPN}} (who was broadcasting the game) realized that the character R. Mika (a flashy puroresu-style wrestler in a very flashy and {{stripperiffic}} costume) was too steamy for primetime, and during the middle of the match, the player using her was asked to change to her alternate "Story Mode" skin (which, amusingly enough, while covering up more of her butt and cleavage, still reveals a lot of {{underboob|s}} and ultimately has the same amount of net coverage). This also didn't stop her from her [[{{Fanservice}} visibly slapping her ass during her Critical Art]], [[{{Bowdlerise}} an element which was later edited entirely out of the game]] by Capcom.

* In ''Anime/KillLaKill'' the infamous [[ParentalIncest bath scene]] was cut when watching it on Creator/AdultSwim but it is shown in the DVD and Blu-Ray. That scene was also responsible for the show getting an [[UsefulNotes/MediaClassifications R18+ in Australia]], again only on DVD and Blu-Ray.

* ''Series/JerrySpringer'' had a few VHS and [=PayPerView=] releases of such episodes, typically containing either conflicts involving [[UsefulNotes/{{Nudism}} nudists]], or conflicts involving [[ClusterFBomb too much swearing]] to be bleeped out while remaining entertaining.

* Sometimes averted as some European television channels (mostly adult) aired {{Hentai}} complete with [[spoiler: graphic sex scenes and genitalia very clearly intact in addition to nipples, something not even AT-X can show.]]

* While it's often [[BleachedUnderpants inverted]] with VisualNovels, there are a few that qualify as this. Most notably, there's ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', which was later released as ''Little Busters Ecstasy'' and added h-scenes. Less notably, there's ''Starless: Nymphomaniac's Paradise'', which has a censored version on stores that have no problem selling 18+ content uncensored simply because it's ''that'' depraved and messed up. Sure, you can look up an uncensor patch, but you need to do that yourself.

** Season 1 and part of Season 2 were still censored, with a message that shows up on the Blu-Ray releases of said seasons explaining that this is due to the uncensored audio tracks being lost.

** A scene in "[[Recap/SouthParkS5E1ItHitstheFan It Hits the Fan]]" that's based around characters [[MediumAwareness knowing when the word "faggot" is being bleeped]] is naturally left as-is.

* ''Manga/InterspeciesReviewers''' anime adaptation is much HotterAndSexier than the original manga -- while the manga would simply cut to a large page detailing each review and its associated score instead of actually showing any sex, the anime isn't bound by such restrictions, and can animate sex scenes while having each reviewer narrate their analysis. While the anime does not go into outright hardcore pornography territory, it certainly does skirt on the edge of the line at times and definitely has a lot of content that unambiguously qualifies as softcore material. The censored broadcast of episode 3 omitted several scenes and [[RelaxOVision gave the viewer a black screen with the audio intact]]. This went to the point that Creator/{{Funimation}} eventually dropped the series in late January 2020, with Amazon following suit in early February (making it so the only way to watch the series in the US was via piracy), and the TV channel [[https://ns.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/f071y8/japans_tokyo_mx_tv_channel_is_pulling/ Tokyo MX even pulled the show from its broadcast about a week later]]. Not too long after, Sun TV also pulled the series from broadcast. Even AT-X, a station normally (in)famous for its laxness regarding nudity and other "edgy" content, would up censoring part of a scene in Episode 7 (for context, it was Meidri's egg-laying scene; apparently the showing of birdmaid cloaca crosses a line for what can be shown in a broadcast).

* Parodied in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' if you place Ulala with Haken and Kaguya: Haken suggests that Ulala interview [[GagBoobs Kaguya]], which causes Ulala to muse that the censors probably won't allow her to show it.

* Averted for ''LightNovel/AriaTheScarletAmmo'', which was left censored for unknown reasons. Then the studio complained about low sales.

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' had an interesting case with its second season. While it is normal for the normal broadcast version of all its seasons to cover the girls with CensorSteam, LensFlareCensor or stylized versions of its logo, second season Blu-ray versions also had the camera shift to actually view some of the action in more sexualized ways and including scenes that were left out possibly due to time constraits.

* Creator/SeerKing has had this happened to him twice. Both ''FanFic/CodeGeassThePreparedRebellion'' and ''FanFic/UzumakiNarukoToTheVictorTheSpoilsV2'' originally had {{lemon}}s that went unreported for a while until they were and were subsequently deleted. While WebSite/FanFictionDotNet has always had [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment controversies]] regarding lemons, [=SeerKing=] decided not to quibble about it and had the lemons posted on WebSite/ArchiveOfOurOwn, which in fact is one of the reason the latter website was founded.
