And while it worked surprisingly well, it's not a perfect system. It literally just mutes the sound and alters the captions. It is painfully apparent what they're saying. Jey: Does it cover their mouth and stuff too?Ĭlint: Oh no, no, no.

The TVG would then read the captions track of whatever you’re watching and any time it recognized a curse word, it would instantly mute the TV and bring up captions with the word either removed or replaced. The video signal has to pass through the device so you would connect your VCR to the TVG then connect the TVG to your TV. So the TVG is a little set-top box that goes between your TV and your media device. The idea behind it is rather simple and actually kind of genius. And it wasn't specifically religiously affiliated but conservative religious people were certainly the target market. It is a self-described “foul language filter.” It was invented by Rick Bray back in 1998.

Jey: What we're talking about here is mainly them going through and editing the films, editing the captions, stuff like that, in some cases in violation of copyright law.Ĭlint: Yeah, we’re gonna be covering TVGuardian, CleanFlix, ClearPlay, PluggedIn, and a handful of lesser known movie censorship services as well. So any time you say fuck, it's going to be translated as “wow” on-screen.Ĭlint: To this day, any time I read the word wow, I think, “fuck,” it's an association I will never get over. Today we're talking about Christian movie filtering.
Jey: I just got worried because, like, when someone says they're a therapist, I'm like, Oh shit, they're going to figure out that I have a bunch of problems, even though I'm very open about it.Ĭlint: I don't think you need to be a therapist to figure out that you've got a bunch of problems.Ĭlint: Hello, everyone, and welcome to How Gay Thou Art, a comedy podcast about growing up queer, Christian and hella confused. You know, are you close with your parents? Like, how many siblings do you have? Normal ass questions are traumatic for me.Ĭlint: Yeah so maybe you're just projecting onto this person.Ĭlint: Because in my experience, you know, my partner is a therapist, and I know other therapists by extension, and none of them want to talk about therapy or deal with anybody else's problems outside of work, because that's what they do all day. I went on a date with a therapist yesterday, but she kept asking me questions.Ĭlint: Did they sound like therapy questions?
