Castrate a Grinch

When some thing, usually a joke, is worsened by removing parts of it, most often because of reasons like morality, censorship or being afraid of social consequences.

Ex. 1:
"Hey have you seen that new episode of this show already? It was pretty good IMO"
"Yeah, but they castrated a Grinch with that Tianmen Square joke near the end"
Ex. 2:
"Did you know that they had to remove like 1/3 of the script just because she didn't like it?"
"What? No way! They would never castrate a Grinch like this!"
