Ah, the flag referendum. Housing crisis is in full swing, cost of living's climbing like a weta in a flooding cave, job market's collapsing and this is what John 'Gold plate my yacht bro' Key thought would distract us.
The worst part is that it worked. Fucking dipshit Kiwis.
Man, i just stumbled upon your works and that style is sooo original and so nice, its by far one of the best artworks ive ever seen
You should go say that to the artist directly on Twitter. Danbooru is a repository, artists don't post their stuff here, it's sadly unlikely he'll ever read it.
I needed to fix the goddamn translation on this TWICE. STOP CHANGING IT if you don't understand the language.
So.. for the machine-translating idiots who don't get nuance, here's a dictionary definition of 自主規制. Note the "internet slang" definition.
Now, it literally means "self-regulation", but the nuance here is "we censored it ourselves and not by a third party". As an Internet joke (or even as a gag in manga/anime like Hayate no Gotoku) it's basically poking fun at censoring lewd or violent or other potentially objectionable content by preemptively self-censoring it themselves.
(Elsewhere in a non-censorship context 自主規制 is used more like a business sector or industry regulating themselves for the common good. This is its historical use.)
