"Dirty laundry" is something you're ashamed of in your past, so clearly cleaning up something you're ashamed of would be metaphorically "bleaching your underpants".) (If you still haven't gotten the title, it's a pun on "dirty laundry". This is especially popular in "pure" moe fandoms that feed back into themselves, where later adaptations of the Bleached Underpants adaption also feature no scandalous scenes.īecause of the different attitude toward such things in Western society, this can be a shaky prospect, as many artists become well-remembered for their racier art, and often make attempts to distance themselves from it. In others, the sex was an incidental or intrusive addition to make the early story more enticing. In many cases, this removes the only thing worth watching. While keeping the porn might stay true to form, it's much more lucrative to get the monies from TV while they can.

Some professional artists go the other route, and may continue to draw dōjinshi distinctly separate but still featuring their own characters.īleached Underpants is most common in Bishoujo Series, since most of them do assume the fan knows they were openly based on hentai games, but is obviously cleaned up for broadcast. For some artists, this can be a little awkward, but the attempt to hide it (as voice actors do under an assumed name) is pretty futile in practice. Some kinds of dōjinshi happen to feature original characters and also be outright pornographic in an attempt to gain some quick capital with fans, creating the potentially unsettling feeling the character started in the mind of the author with an unsavory tone. This often happens from being derived from early drafts of other works of the authors, especially creators who worked in the doujinshi industry: limited runs of self-published fan comics. Many characters have a past connecting them back to a previous sometimes-unwholesome work.
