Funimation is being weird with how they're dubbing Shonen Ai/Shoujo Ai shows

[mochi]

they made the gay lines in Yuri on Ice much MORE blatant in their dub (and might be doing the same in Junjou Romantica...not that either show needs it)

 

but also licensed a Lesbian show called "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" and they apparently REMOVED all the Lesbian lines from that one(the Sub retains them)....kinda like how DIC's dub of Sailor Moon called Uranus and Neptune "Cousins" to hide ther Lesbianism

 

 

 

Why though?

[Leon]

Funimation dubs are never strict translations of the material.

 

That's nothing new.

Maybe that's because Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid isn't actually yuri.

perhaps but the Sub retains the lesbian lines

The MaiDragon incident is probably more incompetency than anything. If enough people care, they'll fix it for the home media release.

[EyeOfPain]

They changed a line in MaiDragon from "But I'm a girl" (a common trope in yuri) to "I'm not into women" (paraphrasing, maybe). So the line was changed from coy to denial, not removed. In all likelihood, it's probably a line that fit the lipflaps better, and the writer didn't think about it beyond that.
