for those that missed it, apparently Seven Seas omitted and altered some content in their official translation of Mushoku Tensei,

apparently this is the second bout of censorship because the japanese light novels forced the author to change some things from the original web novel to make it tamer, and that was the tamer version they published

fwiw, Seven Seas has been doing this with various light novels, even on stuff that isn’t this gross, or gross at all, and has gotten a lot of shit for just the general process of omitting stuff in general.

Not to defend THIS, because. Yeah. Mushoku Tensei is some hot fucking garbage.
