Censor Box explicitly mentions that it can be used for censoring identities rather than something inappropriate.
The South Korean pet YouTubers I watch will use emojis or other cute icons to cover up the faces of humans in videos to preserve their anonymity. Unlike Censor Bar, this cover-up isn't censoring something inappropriate, but it still fulfills the basic purpose of hiding something in a highly visible way. Do you guys think this is its own trope?
