They are frequent objects of censorship and criticism, due not only to their nudity, but their liberal attitudes toward women as dominant. Many conservatives have attempted to pass legislature to force the rats to be “clothed” in a synthetic skin. Although this has given way to criticism, Conservative maintain that sometimes censorship is necessary to save the youths of America.
