RE: Sexism on Sailor Moon.
Neo, it wasn't that they made them cousins due to their relationship in the original. It was that they left in most, if not all, of the romantic scenes between the two (the 2 minute hand-holding scene in S springs to mind). Made them seem more like incestuous lesbians than just lesbians.
I think we, or at least I do, understand the reasons why they changed that. The FCC has very strict guidelines on children shows. What can't be shown, or said, or even implied. However, I think in that regard they could have done a better job handling the whole thing. At least they could have removed the scenes that blatantly screamed "We're not cousins, we're lovers!"
