Rough censorship in the subtitles of the series "Rehearsals" here 11 (Photo: screenshot, here 11)
First publication: After criticism came to the corporation here from deaf and hard of hearing, the corporation decided to stop using the asterisks over curses and obscenities that appear in the subtitles of its series and programs, and from now on all the words spoken in the program will be transcribed.
The previous decision to censor the swearing and obscenity in the subtitles stemmed from a desire to reduce the dose of verbal and obscene violence, so as not to offend an audience that might be sensitive to it, and it is also practiced in some channels around the world.
Sources in the corporation clarify that the decision on what and how will be marked in the subtitles was made after watching the episode, examining the specific content and broadcast time, and in consultation and consultation with the production, the content editor in charge of the program and the broadcast department.
Thus, for example, in the text programs "in ******m" appeared instead of the word "bulbuls", and in another program the transcript "child ***" appeared instead of "child cock".

Subtitles is to make content accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people. I'm grateful for that. I want to remember why there are subtitles. I ask not to censor content - for a population that is already difficult to understand and be part of the discourse and culture. I ask for a channel here "Consider us, respect us and not publish more content with asterisks in the subtitles."
From the corporation confirmed to Walla!
Culture that after many discussions on the subject, it was decided to stop using the asterisks and translate everything, adding that they discuss the details and implications.
