Since it was made I actually only watch the Viz dub personally, so that doesn't apply to me. If a dub is available, I watch it. (Honestly, I don't care if names are changed or if there are minor edits to reflect the region its in either. That sort of thing is perfectly normal, changes are made to things like Disney movies in other countries too, including Japan.)
I did say I prefer to think there's an innocent explanation but I guess I became cynical enough to speculate other ones.
I don't know her though so despite my musings, I'm doing my best to keep a neutral view of her, but I'm only human. I'm not outright accusing her of anything, because I don't know. The whole international moratorium thing in the 00's was super weird though you have to admit. Never heard of any other creator doing something like that, which was the reason I had those sorts of thoughts start.
The thing is though, whether she intends to or not her restrictions only end up punishing the fans in the end which is a real shame.
Anyway though, as I said, I don't know her so I'm not making any definitive claims, just wanted to explain my thoughts a bit more was all. Just going to say now that I don't wish to make a debate over this, as the only one who knows for certain what Takeuchi feels is Takeuchi herself. Do feel free to share your thoughts too of course, though.
