There is a time when an artist chooses to be subtle and work at Getting Crap Past the Radar to avoid trouble. Sometimes however, there are times when the artist walks up to the Censorship Bureau's face to deliver a metaphorical "fuck you" and present his work regardless. When the work in question is worth the effort, especially if it is hailed as an artistic masterpiece, or the larger society has changed enough in its values to agree with the artist, then this can be a Moment of Awesome as taboos are shattered and freedom of expression has a victory. Of course, it can also backfire and get the author in a lot of trouble. Compare with Getting Crap Past the Radar (in which the creators still defy the censors, but do it on an underhanded level). |

In MTV Awards Europe 1996, Metallica was told not to swear in the show. Cue "Last Caress" by The Mistfits and "So What" by Anti-Nowhere League. Indeed so fucking what?! | |

The 2016 anime of Occultic;Nine, made by the same person who made Steins;Gate, pushes boundaries by making a girl with truly abnormally large boobs a main character in a non-ecchi, non-hentai, non-comedy sci-fi mystery adventure. | |

Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols was, obviously, banned from display on the grounds of obscenity. The Sex Pistols managed to get this overturned by proving in court that the word "bollocks" is an authentic English word that has been in the dictionary for over centuries and, in the context of the album, referred to "nonsense". | |

Pretty much the raison d'etre of maverick publishing house Grove Press that in the 1950s and 1960s took on publication of hyper-controversial works such as Naked Lunch and Lady Chatterley's Lover despite legal threat. Grove's response to legal threats regarding the publication of Naked Lunch: add a section to the next paperback edition detailing the trial and the subsequent Supreme Court decision. | |

Ghastly Prince Enma: Burning Up was pushed for by Go Nagai specifically in response to the new draconian anti-Anime laws in Tokyo. Go Nagai being, of course, the "Father of Ecchi", and his legendary fighting back against Japan's version of The Comics Code created the entire Ecchi genre in Japanese manga and anime. The animated version retains the original's high fetish and nudity content, and swaps out the main male lead for a female version just so they can add additional fanservice. | |

Not for Broadcast: When the rapper J-Zuss is about to perform, he tells Jeremy Donaldson at the last minute that he'll be performing a different song, that's not government approved. Cue a very swear-filled song that heavily criticizes the Advance government and its leaders, to put it mildly. | |

When the Game Grumps are playing House Party (2017), they discover the "censor nudity" option and Dan wants to not click it, thus forcing Matt their editor to go in and manually censor any nudity that happens to appear. Matt actually spliced in footage of himself, at his workstation, reacting to this decision with disbelief and ultimately Face Palming at Dan's flippant decision to give him extra work. | |

Mainframe Entertainment eventually stopped caring what ABC's censors thought after they learned Reboot was going to be cancelled and added in cursing (both in dialogue and in code), violence, and on-screen deaths to the latter half of what they believed would be their final season. They were also blatant about why their show was going away, adding in dialogue that obviously put the blame on ABC for "turning on them" and calling them "treacherous dogs". Thankfully, though ABC did drop the show, it was picked up by another network and allowed to keep the dark tone the show had taken on. | |

The producers of the classic films The Pawnbroker and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? did this when they successfully appealed to The Hays Code board of governors and made them bend to the inclusion of artistically necessary nudity and harsh language respectively, with the excuse of them being "special exceptions". | |

To Love Ru Darkness seems to be written with this goal in mind, upping the Fanservice in response to Moral Guardians protesting such works. It's telling that the recap chapter was six color pages of Fanservice from the previous series. Among the most well-known examples is a spread wherein a vagina is obscured by a faucet, but in another panel is clearly visible in the reflections of said faucet. | |

The Ascent (1977) was very nearly banned for its religious symbolism. It only got released because the director's husband happened to know Pyotr Masherov, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Belarus, and arranged for him to attend a special preview. Masherov was astonished at the quality, and raved at how amazing it is. Naturally, the censorship board had to accept it without comment. (Source in Russian). | |

On January 15, 2009, the Los Angeles indie-rock station Indie 103.1 went off the air in favor of a Latino music format (actually a return to form, as before Indie 101.3, it had been a Latino station before). Almost as a last hurrah, 103.1 ran a continuous loop on the air of five songs for the two-day interregnum before the new format took over. One of those songs was Sid Vicious' cover of Sinatra's "My Way" from The Great Rock N Roll Swindle. The entire song, Cluster F-Bomb and all. They must have been thinking "we're out the door, how can the FCC fine us now?" | |

Producer David O. Selznick insisted that the famous line "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" had to be included in the final cut of Gone with the Wind. This directly led to the MPA board amending their policies to allow the use of mild expletives in quotes from history or literature, and may have eventually resulted in the deregulation of motion pictures as a whole. | |

Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls, compares working at a censored place like Disney to "trying to paint a picture while a chimp constantly hits you in the head with a wiffle bat". In this metaphor, the "chimp" is a "network censor" and the "bat" is "arbitrary concerns which justify their job position". Let's face it, it's not easy to get things like eating children and summoning demons past Disney. | |
