A self-governing body with a censorship code, most visible (and most likely to receive mention) when that code is so draconian and unreasonable in its restrictions that it cripples an entire artistic medium. It usually comes about due to the pleas of the Moral Guardians and Media Watchdogs, but sometimes, it will come about due to some other circumstances (e.g. the beliefs of a specific corporation). Some of these were created in fear of an even more draconian code being forced on the medium from outside. These are usually the organisations responsible for defining and enforcing Media Classifications. This article from The Other Wiki lists government media rating organizations from around the world. Compare & contrast with the Propaganda Machine. See also Animation Age Ghetto for a similar phenomenon. |

In-universe example in The Life of Émile Zola, when Zola's muckraking novels get him in trouble with French government censors. | |

Similarly, "How Dare You" by Sistar was banned not only for featuring a pole dance but also for including "belittling" lyrics like "why you play these games?". | |

BTS are the biggest victims of this as many of their songs, such as "Dope" and "Boyz With Fun", the latter got banned for including a Chinese phrase note chi fan le ma which means did you eat? that resembles a Korean swear word, and the former for apparently having vulgar lyrics note "All the weak, loser, crybaby idiots" which j-hope later had to change to their dogs' names during some TV performances, among other reasons. | |

Voltes V was banned in the Philippines for its portrayal of a rebellion against a dictator. This completely backfired, as the Super Robot show was taken up as a symbol of the real ongoing revolution against the ruling dictatorship in the Philippines. | |
