Censorship

Disney Standards and Practices Censorship

According to Alex Hirsch, the creator of Gravity Falls, Disney's Standards and Practices (S&P) Department had attempted to censor numerous parts of the show, such as a mention of the word "Lucifer", taking offence with religious phrases such as the term "Holy Christmas" and "Jeez", which was considered an abbreviation of Jesus.

One of the most notable was that the term "bottles will be spun" was removed on a flyer due to the implications of making out, and was replaced with "Not S+P approved", which was initially requested to be removed as well until S&P later allowed the phrase.
