Conservative Star Trek fans really do fascinate me because watching these shows for the first time is just getting beat over the head with the woke bat the entire run time

We're asking for "burrito" not to be translated as "cheeseburger" you dishonest shit

If your plan for localization is “just keep it in Japanese and expect English speakers to learn what Japanese words mean,” that’s not a plan. Imagine if they did that in Spanish shows and left “usted” and “tú” to show the difference. It would sound bizarre.

The "Thank them for censoring diddy ahh content" angle is new but fandoms for 4Kids shows were like this years before COVID. It's not kids who watched their first anime in 2020 doing this, it's after-school anime block nostalgia milennials like with Faulconer DBZ

This is the ultimate tourist detector If you present someone the 4Kids censorship and it refer to them as "reasonable", then it means you are dealing with a post-COVID tourist.

Cryonic experiments from 2014 Tumblr will watch shows that went through censorship standards that would make your fundie grandma go "that's ridiculous" and STILL think it's offensive, we're in hell

Jack Thompson comparisons are too good at this point, this is "Harry Potter and Pokemon teach kids how to use magic and summon demons" tier, these people need professional help ASAP

I was always surprised this was never censored in any of the English releases and today I find out the translation made it LEWDER? In the JP she gets electrocuted, the translations all leave it to the imagination what happened and everyone's mind arrived at tentacle porn

Never bothered to check the Japanese until now because there's three different translations and they're all pretty much the same so I thought it was safe to assume it's accurate, but I guess they were all just copying each other's homework and rewording it so it's less obvious

Someone said "Flint has a Steelix because steel and flint make fire" and it's fine if people wanna headcanon but when it's framed as "GameFreak is genius for coming up with this" I can't help but think "You know that's not his original name, right?"

I swear a lot of Pokemon fans act completely unaware this franchise isn't originally made in English

Maybe it's because I included the meme, but since people are missing the point: I know why his team is like that, I'm criticizing people who make assumptions about the intent of Japanese designers based on names thought up by the English localization team

German dub butchers this by using a word for "hard" that has no double meaning whatsoever, despite "hart" being right there, so it's like Jim just says "That's gonna be really difficult" and that somehow cracks Michael up

Here is the "That's What She Said" scene from The Office Japanese Dub.

Either the translator didn't get the joke or they have some walking stereotype of a German whose job it is to make sure absolutely no slang makes it into the script even at the expense of ruining jokes. Neither would surprise me honestly.

Me looking for places to download music videos because everything on youtube before 2014 got replaced with 16:9 cropped AI upscale garbage and everyone on r/piracy goes "just use youtube downloader bro"

Not the same thing. Nobody has a problem with translation as a concept, dubs are just an overreach. You don't need them to translate an anime or movie because subtitles exist and get you a closer experience to the original. Books don't have an equivalent to this.

If you call dubs anti-art because they're "not the original vision", then you have to call translating books anti-art, or literally, any form of localization.

There are Germans who import every single game they buy just to not have that massive USK label ruining their boxes

Yup, I checked. The German version is even funnier.

Oh sure, but when I say anime and vidya should move on from localized names from the 90s I'm Ken-sama ruining people's childhoods or whatever

Lol @ the concept of learning English through school when I spoke better English than my teachers through most of my school life

First time I noticed in elememtary school (teacher thought pants were called "trouthers") I didn't say anything until someone else did and she was like "Why didn't you correct me?" I dunno, I was still naive enough to think the teacher must know better than a 10-year-old

You gotta dumb your writing down in essays cause they'll take points off if you use words they don't recognize. You're the teacher, you don't own a dictionary?
