I found something neat that was inspired by Feather Data's video on YouTube of a random NPC dialogue which had English voices:
In the English dub of Shenmue II, when you ask this random NPC Jiayu Kun who's a cook at the Stand Qr. about Yuan, it is strongly implied that he has a crush on Yuan and in the dub, Yuan was a woman, so that means he's straight.
After watching this video, I became instantly interested to see how this dialogue with the Japanese voices, since as you all know, Yuan is actually supposed to be a man.
Turns out Jiayu actually is LBGT, as the subs are the same, but they use male pronouns when referring to Yuan. I think in the original Japanese script he's still LBGT since he's verbally saying "kawaii" and "chan" when talking about Yuan!
So yet another stupid censorship in the English dub! Damn, every time I discover more stuff that was left out of the localization, I hate the English dub more and more. Too bad most people are noobs and play with the dumb English voices, and get the wrong idea about how the original characters and other things are supposed to be!
