@Tacoburritotchi True, although most of the time they're mild enough for me. Although, I remember my mother and I having a short argument over a dubbed movie based on Sinbad that was rated G despite having naked women barely obscured by their long hair. It was a shameless bathing scene and my mother's argument was "well, they aren't naked". Despite ironically leading my father to Christ, she has some vexing secular attitudes (at least for what is acceptable content). TV and movie ratings are all over the place lately (or at least in the West) where PG-13 is practically R-rated. I get the social standards change but it honestly seems like 13 year olds are considered no longer children and can take on adult consequences.
I do wonder if cultural standards may have come into play with that colouring book, since it's American and you're in Malaysia. Over here, kissing is considered somewhat mild unless it... goes on "too long". Still, people wouldn't kiss in front of their friends unless it was a short greeting. There's nothing against kissing on the cheek although it's totally not a greeting.

@Knighttchi's Ballad 13 Years old Is still a Child Legally Because They arent Under 18.

My point is that people don't treat them as children in certain contexts, whether directly or indirectly.

They want To Make it For People Under 13 Who wants to watch Netflix.

Not related to Tamagotchi, but I still feel that this NEEDS to be said.

Yesterday, it was announced that on September 9th, Netflix will release a film called "Cuties", and......you're not going to believe this premise...

"Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family's traditions."

You are not misreading that. Netflix is planning to release a film that promotes the exploitation of minors, specifically those that are just starting middle school. 

Bad enough that not too long beforehand, they announced plans to age up the characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender for unnecessary intimacy in an equally unnecessary live-action remake. Here, they're not even trying to be subtle disregarding minor innocence for the sake of that sweet subscription cash.

Worse still, Netflix gave Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj the boot but lets this pitiful excuse of filmed content do its thing with the endangerment of the well-being of its young actresses.

I've always preferred Network TV over streaming services, and always theorized that streaming services will do any tactic and cross any boundary to gain publicity, to gain subscribers, to gain money, and this is the prime culmination of all those theoretical practices.

Netflix was once the king of streaming. They introduced this method of watching content. Every thinkable movie and show was on it. Now things have changed. There are several other streaming services out there; Hulu (which is the only one I've subscribed to), Prime Video (which has Selah and the Spades, which is morally and objectively superior to "Cuties"), Disney+, HBO Max, and Peacock (which has a free ad-supported membership plan), just to name a few. By making heinous decisions like this, Netflix is not keeping up with their new-found competition. They are damaging their own reputation.

Cancel your subscription if you haven't already, or don't bother subscribing if you're like me and have never subscribed to them.

Didnt Netflix Deserve Tamagotchi If there´s a Market to it?

Eh. Never seen it here anyways (and I love Netflix), so nothing to judge.

@TamaBoy9000 - Aha! Thanks so much for that clarification - that solves the mystery of why the dubbing is North American! It was actually sold at retail over here in the UK (I've got a boxed copy in my collection now), and the lack of a US/Canada retail release made it appear as though it just never made it over there at all.

@Penguin-keeper They also released Let's Go! Tamagotchi on DVD in the United States as a pack-in with the TamaTown Tama-Go (wave 2). Perhaps if it had been successful, it would've led to TV broadcasts of Tamagotchi! in North and South America (as well as Latin Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Canadian French dubs), and possibly even worldwide.

I'm not sure if we got that one at all! Still, the fact that their various market-tests for dubbing didn't lead to any TV-show dubs speaks volumes, I feel.
