It was this shot right here

(yeah, try censoring the internet, not even spoilering it because it's so friggin' tame) for the character in the background, which according to the BBFC was (and I quote) "likely to encourage an interest in underage sexual activity (in this case a young girl in the background of a shot suggesting sexual activity)" so NOT for the groping, but for the girl in the background. Which I suppose you can take either to mean they think seeing a flat chested girl in a state of undress actually turns people into paedophiles or suddenly activates puberty in adolescents which, given that Geass already got a 15 rating, is more than a little odd. That or they're truly off their rockers and are concerned for the purity of the cartoon character who they believe to be underage witnessing sexual activity.

I'd say the more likely effect from cutting it is to infantilize women with small breasts, given that there's no indication she's any younger than the other characters in the frame, other than that BBFC Censor #491 just presumed that because she has a flat chest she's a child. Lina Inverse would smack their sh*t up.

Because this cut in particular was pretty bullsh*t. [spoiler]And the BBFC are the worst.[/spoiler]
