Isn't Pom Poko a little rude for the kiddies?

In this context, I believe the appropriate word is "fixed"... or perhaps "neutered". What else would you call a Pom Poko without the scrota?

BTW, did you know that kintama, the expression for testicles/scrotum, and also used in this anime, is one of the oldest known slang expressions in Japanese, dating back to the Heian era a thousand years ago?
