They kept Goku's penis in the VizBig editions.
Yup. They only censored "adult" nudity and that finger in the Vizbigs.

I feel like I mention this a lot, but there are versions of Viz that don't censor the nudity at all. Finding a copy is just kind of random, since they seemed to flip-flop on it between printings.

Think he might be confusing the VB editions with the printed versions released a long while back that tried censoring the manga for the first time before going back to uncensored.

You mean these ones?

These were likely the most censored versions of all. If this was all that was available, I'd understand people being unhappy about it (whole jokes are changed in some cases), but none of the current releases are anywhere near that bad.
