That and Sailor Moon and so many others. It all makes my head hurt. I remember in the earliest episodes of Sailor Moon, DiC removed sweatdrops and other stereotypically-Japanese-anime expressions.

The hell?

I learned very quickly what a sweatdrop meant, based on the expressions on the characters' faces. Are other kids just not observant? There's no reason that they shouldn't be able to figure it out, too.

Blech. Just blech. People shouldn't whine about how "it takes so much work!" to read subtitles. They shouldn't whine about not understanding a cultural reference. All of that simply suggests severe laziness.
