What is the logic in "localizing" a game set in Japan with all Japanese people?
westoid racism because japan doesn't kneel to their israelite bullshit
I wince when I notice it, but can't do much without fluent Japanese.
At least I can hear cutscenes and they're typically faithful.
So that you could think that it's actually set in a western setting. Bonus points if it's a historical setting.

Are we actively getting dumber or what is it with the literal inability to comprehend that depicting something does not mean it is 100% your opinion actually?

>to insert the catheter grab the penis, note that penises come in a variety of sizes and girths, there is no widely considered "perfect" size and many women actually prefer a smaller penis that falls under the generally agreed upon 6" average myth. anyway, insert the catheter into the tip of the penis.
>Race is only skin deep, so bone marrow donations should be accepted and utilized in all ethnicities without prejudice
>Rejections of underprivileged bone marrow transplants by the body reveal deep-seated elements of white supremacy
wait, bone marrow is like blood? like, non universal?
It is even more specific than blood. Mixed race people have a hard time finding matching donors because they often need a donor with the exact same ethnic composition.
>Imagine
No need to. Inclusivity guidelines and its muddying effects on medical language has already started to endanger people.
You already have medical sites saying people with a penis, penis'd people, or born with a penis, instead of just man. Because as you know professional medical info needs to cater to loons and make it harder for everyone to take seriously.
they don't want chuds to enjoy the game. they want to do everything in their power to make chuds frown when playing their game.

The culture war and social media has made people both dumber and more impulsive. We jump are political boogimen every step we take, because we've been conditioned to think that we are in a constant battle for the fate of the world. This is not hyperbole.
I really fricking hate this sportsteam view of things
> we've been conditioned to think that we are in a constant battle for the fate of the world
That is literally true, though. All lifeforms struggle against one another for resources and means of reproduction.
Children never got taught these sorts of skills explicitly and human contact has been reduced too much to still learn them implicitly. This is the end result.
>Children never got taught these sorts of skills
Really weird how human nature just defaults to not teaching their fellow tribesmen anything simply because they either assume that they already know (because they know) or because they think it will harm them in some way.
Millennioids and zoombies need constant affirmation that the text they're reading in a fantastical universe is in fact heckin' yikes.
Unironic low room temp IQ.
And to be fair most westoids suffer this, not just libtards.
>Are we actively getting dumber
Yes. That's what happens when you can't say "no" to you children.
Yikes.
Y i k e s
Too late, now you can't have characters with negative traits like being sexist or racist, it has to be fixed, but only in Japanese media of course.
Characters are allowed to be as sexist or racist or w/e as much as they want in western media though, because then I get to have my self-insert LGBTWTFBBQ+ Bipoc main character kill them/convince them to commit suicide like in most modern capeshit comics these days, chud!
>we
Actors who play unreedamble drama villains have been attacked and assumed to be adjacent to types of crime that they acted in fiction.
Have you read the shit from the localizers and late neogaf and resetera? That's absolutely their belief.
That is exactly my read.
>depicting something does not mean it is 100% your opinion
People struggle to understand this now, but part of the issue derives from the mindset instilled by most modern college'ss/uni's: That you're actively part of the problem if you aren't part of the "solution"
Hmm, now where have we heard that rhetoric before?
This is what happens when people stop reading books and mainly just absorb modern media.
I just want to go back to the era where you can watch/read/play something, maybe not agree with the creator of the piece of media's intentions, and move on regardless.
>Y*kes
>yikes
you can go play a jrpg from the 90s right now and it will all make sense. all these modern troonyslators though fill every game to the brim with topical pop culture references guaranteeing that they age like milk and within two decades new players will have no fricking clue what characters are saying.
Normal people already have no clue what the frick they are saying because they don't interact with terminally online twittards.
I don't like the majority of localizers either, but you do realize that this already happens, right? The language any given thing is written in will eventually date it.
>yikes
I haven't used social media for over a decade and it has made shitty writing very obvious in media because it does indeed come across as incomprehensible babble.

just start busing, raping and then ultimately killing the AI at that point to teach it a lesson to not start doing garbage like that. his AI waifu there is clearly defunct so it either needs to be corrected or put down.
no, that wont fix the problem, ai itself remains pozzed. ony big ai corps can do pre-training (the most important part), common user left with the choice only, not control. it will only get worse as time passes.
Yeah, a corporate-controlled black box definitely will help
Corporate-controlled black box by Japan >>>> localizers.
It's far, far better of a choice since there is no way deranged leftoids stop being a thing.
>Corporate-controlled black box by Japan
Japan doesn't have any capabilities to keep AI memes, they only can use American AI services.
who's gonna tell him about the yakuza funds?
Yeah tell us about those yakuza funds.
That's irrelevant. All that is required is that the service doesn't belong explicitly in some troonlators echo chambers, and the idea of that happening is ridiculous.
Yes ChatGPT will lean left if asked, it will not by any means start injecting moronic left-wing propaganda everywhere, much less when you ask something from it.
>But they won't be using ChatGPT
You are delusional if you think that something as simple as "not injecting politics" would be ignored when considering a tool for translation.
You can ask him to translate the bit in which uncle Ted utterly shits on problematic leftist ideologues and it will do it just fine. No ifs, no buts.
you don't know anything about AI on a technical level so can you just close the thread and never post anything AI-related again
Either stop being moronic or keep coping and seething,
Frick off, moron. The original heavily implies that 'yikes' as well. The remaster just makes it more obvious for the right wing morons who think the text wasn't being facetious at all.
bait
>the original heavily implies the yikes b my not saying anything
Trannies really are mentally ill
Yeah, thats the point though, anyone with an IQ above 70 can recognize it was already a joke in the original, the "yikes" is completely superfluous, because it's a fricking joke
You'd think so, but we live in an age where people still deny the Holocaust happened. At this point it's better to spell things out rather than assume things.
>people still deny the Holocaust happened
At least the Holocaust happened nearly a century ago
People have current, thoroughly documented evidence of Black folk chimping out and still think racism bad

Did you know that if you just say something is implied then you never have to give any proof of your claim?
>The original heavily implies that 'yikes' as well. T
How so?
You made me laugh, anon. Though, you should probably start adding "yikes" at the end of your posts so left wing morons don't get the wrong idea.
You're a fricking moron, you genuinely need everything spelled out for you and it has to agree with what you already think. The original doesn't need a "yikes", you're free to think whatever the frick you want about it because it wasn't written by a fricking circus clown desperate to show off their opinions and force them on others.
If you even think about it for more than 2 seconds, you have a brain problem. If you actually get mad about it because it didn't scream "THIS IS BAD", you have a brain problem. Fricking get off this planet I'm tired of you brainlets being so stupid you ruin every piece of media with your non functioning brain
>No it's fine because I don't respect my audience
the stupid part here is how the original is already taking a shot at the issue
but the translator didn't really understand, so he felt the need to add to it
what utter incompetence
AI must not only substitute every translator, it's necessary to genocide them as well
>Yikes
Yikes
Why don't americans trust the end user to make their own value judgements?
Because Americans can't be trusted to make judgments. Even if the localizers didn't earnestly believe in the bullshit they're peddling (which they do), they'd have to do it anyway to avoid getting fired after a controversial twitter screencap of a correct translation explodes - see the Goemon translation debacle.
Most normal people do. These fricking idiots on the other hand insist that everyone thinks like they do, left they be cast into the fires of hell.
Let's not forget THE greatest crime in localization. The one that retconned Pokemon R34 being canon! (At least with the somewhat humanoid ones).

>Japan - men pretending to be women
Some of those vtubers have been doxed. They're not attractive but they are, at the very least, actual women.
Is there a popular vtuber that hasn't been doxed/put it's face out there
Quite a lot actually, mainly because most doxxing efforts find the vtubers' previous identities or social media accounts and stop there.
可愛い as FRICK women.
Actually true. Those Japanese lines were practically just as pozzed
I love the gays!
Two guys kissin, nothin wrong with it.
Haha!
Just two dudes going at it, touching each other's butts and stuff...
It's fine, you know... yep, it's all good in the hood
I mean with me haha, you might be a homophobe but I'm not lol
Just so you know I myself am not gay but if you choose to be then that's ok with me
I mean I know it's not a choice of course lol I didn't mean it that way haha
Just to reiterate: not a homophobe
Two guys just... noshing each other's wieners.
It's absolutely.... fine.

It's almost as if he was the one judging in the first place huh?
The natural reaction to two homosexuals kissing is immense disgust. You have something wrong with your brain if you think it's fine.
nta, but the only logical explanation for that reaction is that you think it'll rub off on you somehow.
It clearly doesn't affect you at all, so a normal reaction would be a nonreaction.
>the only logical explanation for that reaction
is to steer you into fricking women, not men so you can impregnate her and continue your bloodline, you disgusting homosexual
So the reason seeing two men kissing causes disgust for you is that it will somehow prevent you from having sex and impregnating a woman?
Or are you more concerned about the semen of the kissing men being wasted? If so, what if the men are already dads? Is kissing permitted then?
genuine questions.
I get that you love putting stuff in your mouth, but would it kill you to not immediately put words into someone else's mouth when you lack a proper counter argument?
>is to steer you into fricking women, not men so you can impregnate her and continue your bloodline
How am I supposed to know who "you" is here?
Surely it wasn't intended to literally be me, that's makes no sense. The scenario is Anon seeing two homosexuals kissing, so a specific other anonymous person can't have an affect one way or the other.
I really am not interested in teaching you basic biology.
I'm pretty sure Udemy teaches classes on human reproduction, go follow those.
>the same ol' plebbit tier pseud fallacious "y-you must be secretly gay then if you hate it so much"
No moron, it's just simple biology. It's hardwired into us to be disgusted by homosexualry since it helps perpetuate the species.
I'm not sure about this one way or another, but you're gonna need better evidence some random title that only suggests the presence of a strong negative response.
>I'm not sure about this one way or another, but you're gonna need better evidence some random title that only suggests the world being a globe instead of being flat
I mean, yeah. If that's really an apt analogy, you should be able to effortlessly point at stuff like the curvature of the horizon at sea or all those cam vids of of balloons climbing up the atmosphere.
The burden of proof lies with the one making the claim. I'm not going to do your work for you.
>Hmmm there's a title, a name, and a date, but I'll just keep insisting "D-Doesn't count!" since I don't actually have an argument here and just want to derail
I accept your concession, shitposter homosexual 🙂
You could just link it in the same breath you take to b***h about arguments and derailing and further contribute to it.
>You could just do this thing for me so I can handwave it again with a "doesn't count" again
Come on now, if you were really interested in going into this discussion in good faith you would have looked it up yourself already. 2 seconds of googling wouldn't keep some obsessed moron like you away from trying to "own" someone online.
I know all the little tricks you homosexuals employ, again, you just have no argument so you're b***hing about me not linking it instead of the argument I presented itself, so let me repeat this again: I accept your concession, little homosexual 🙂
>if you were really interested in going into this discussion in good faith you would have looked it up yourself already
My problem is that your image looks like bad faith to begin with. It's literally just words on a screen with no stats or even a url in the corner, so I'd rather see you pull your weight before dropping into it.
I don't even think you're necessarily wrong, it's just poor form.
>blahblahblah more reasons why I'm a huge homosexual shitposter
Anything else?
Like I said, if you actually cared that much you would've looked it up yourself. You're dishonestly making it seem like I'm making it up when all the evidence that page exists is right there.
Try again.
No anon, I will not engage in the internet light saber duel you want to make this out to be. Your choices are simple: extend the olive branch yourself if you want to have a discussion or continue screeching into the ether against a made up enemy.
>Hmmm could I look this up myself? Nah, better to just say "D-Doesn't count" like a little b***h homosexual instead.
Fascinating.
I didn't dispute that the existence of the emotion. I asked for a logical explanation.
Facts don't care about your feelings, or so I hear.
>I asked for a logical explanation.
"Biological imperative" apparently isn't a "logical explanation" now KWAB

>No anon, I will not engage in the internet light saber duel you want to make this out to be.
lmfao this is too rich homie, try again though.
>Your choices are simple: extend the olive branch yourself if you want to have a discussion or continue screeching into the ether against a made up enemy.
Aww he's pissing and shitting in his diaper after I exposed his homosexualy behavior now, I'd almost feel bad if I knew you weren't just derailing.
Yes anon, you're totally right and anyone who shows you attention without instantly sucking your wiener is a bad actor.
>some shit about men sucking wiener
Pretty easy to tell a homosexual is upset at someone posting that article kek
>is a bad actor
You are when you pretend like you care about arguments in good faith, then keep backtracking and acting like you weren't that interested in it to begin with, then b***hing out with "uhhh I-I-I don't really care actually I just thought it was bad form, h-haha"
Have to admit though, your earlier personification of the "Source? Got a source on that?" copypasta was pretty amusing though.
Next.
>then keep backtracking and acting like you weren't that interested in it to begin with
No, I genuinely care if you have something legit, otherwise, I would've left you to stew with your strawmen a while ago.
My problem is that you come off as so desperate to "win" over online randoms that it destroys your credibility and seeming ability to carry a conversation, so I've been prodding you to try to do the bare minimum of work as a litmus test.
Seriously. If you were to link a peer reviewed study at any point, I would respect it.
>I genuinely care
You don't, otherwise you would've google it yourself instead of writing all this inane babble and cope, little homosexual b***h-kun~
It's even funnier considering where the article comes from too. And no, we both know you "wouldn't respect it", wokie derailer shitposters don't care about "sources", they just care about getting the last word in and saying "doesn't count". That makes that projection about "trying to win" even funnier.
You could have just not kept responding if that weren't what you were trying to do.
Again, if you really cared about the "pursuit of truth" here 2 seconds on google would not prevent you from "owning" me, come on now son.
Try again.
Anyone kissing in public (or making out technically) is disgusting.
This is why I don't go anywhere without my bell.
Leftoids and the alphabet people cannot live without their victim complex.
Why would they even add that? Seriously whats the point?
victim mentality
ironically normalizing homosexuality is their greatest fear because it robs them of their snowflake identity
Hit the nail on the head
They want to pretend like it’s normal but also act like a victim and have special privileges at the same time
Agenda
I think it's more like they have to shoot at some hypothetical homophobe's reaction as if thoughts are arguments to be had. They project their own insecurity onto a video game and think of themselves as in the right to protect their ego.
Is that a Seinfeld reference
Yeah and I think op missed it. Localizer added a western in joke and OP missed it and thought it was propaganda because they have no cultural literacy outside of Fortnite and among us. That’s what we get for going on this shit zoomer board
I don't want your cringe references. I want the original intention of the author. Not some gay shit from americans.
Always cracks me up when you guys get backed into a corner and start talking about your soulless weebslop like it’s the Bible. Legitimately makes me smile.
>changing the script is okay because it's "funny"
lol...
ok
I like to picture the reverse, like some Japanese localizer inserts a throw-away Jap exclusive joke in their translation of The Avengers and then westaboos over there are like nooooooooo it has to be exactly what Joss Whedon said! His original intent!
The westaboos are right too. Did you think we’d say otherwise? It was the Jap’s job to translate WHEDON’S work, not HIS fanfic shit into it
I’m glad you guys are being replaced
Fricking nobody would care if Japs did that. Marvel writing is crap, not that Japanese writing is any better so I don't know why people care about mistranslations there either.
Feel free to check the subtitles of the Japanese Marvel movies. They ABSOLUTELY do not do this shit.
Vid related:
They chose to translate the FEMA joke to "being killed by the government", and the pork chop joke to "death by overeating", but other than that, it's really a line by line translation.
This is cable TV class. Movies are one level higher in translation quality.
i'm going to try and remember that blog that keeps track of bad english to japanese video game translations. there were some real funny ones that are even memes like "all your base are belong to us" is for us.
i found it. legendsoflocalization
they're just like us
The opposite version of this is literally mentioned in the Togetter here
It doesn't matter how much he worked with the translators if he doesn't understand the fricking language.
Thing is, I'm ok with this. Ghost stories can be hilarious, just don't pretend you are actually doing work you are not doing.
This blog actually dickrides modern localizations like crazy, it's funny how it's unintentionally a great resource for the opposite purpose
the absolute state
It's always funny when westoids keep downplaying JP kino when even low effort porn games are better written than anything tolkien did.
>If you have integrity youre the problem
Typical western mindset.
It's not your job to "improve" the script.
>no bro it was totally a reference that’s why
We don’t want that shit either. Who the frick wants a Seinfeld reference in their JRPG? Stop ruining the original work for memes and shit
okay so they added a joke where there wasn't one(and which tons of people won't catch, seinfeld is older than the game's audience) which then made their characters look worse.
not sure that makes it better!
that line is in the broader English lexicon to the point that people who've never seen Seinfeld will say it.
You are unironically too young to remember being in social situations where homosexuality was a taboo and unspoken thing.
Either that or you're an ESL.
>that line is in the broader English lexicon to the point that people who've never seen Seinfeld will say it.
yes? that doesn't disprove my point. i've seen the phrase, i had no idea its a reference. so all i see is someone deciding homosexuality is an "other" and needs to be explicitly defended while in the japanese it doesn't even register as a problem.
>You are unironically too young to remember
i already addressed this. if you want to make a funny reference you should probably not make it a reference to some 30 year old show.
whether it's meant as a funny reference, or the line being played straight, it is an awful change in both cases. it's literally indefensible.
Seinfeld is 3 decades old. How do you expect a bunch of fricking zoomers and gen alpha to catch that kind of reference?
No it fricking isn't you stupid fricking child. Were you even alive when that episode aired? The quote is "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" It's said like 10 times in the episode only occasionally replacing "that" with "it", no other deviation and this is exactly how people quoted it ever since. Phrasing it completely differently is not a fricking Seinfeld reference.
Woke leftie here.
OP is right. Localizers are being the opposite of useful when they alter already pretty progressive dialogue just so they can virtue signal harder.
Why do localizers think that every line, every dialogue is an opportunity to "educate" the player?
main character syndrome.
They also think they can "improve" the script.
Really hope japs start using AI to translate everything. Frick americans with their shitty localizations, ruining the fun for literally everyone else with their failed society.
YOU VILL NOT FORM YOUR OWN OPINIONS
VE VILL TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK
AND YOU VILL BE HAPPY
I'm a translator and the first thing you learn is to be true to the original and to NEVER insert your own interpretation or politics. This is an insult to my profession regardless of what "side" you are on and it pisses me off to no end. The artistic expression comes from finding elegant ways to fit the subs without taking away from the original meaning while making sure that people from the target culture are able to understand it, injecting your opinions and inherently changing the meaning of something is objectively a terrible translation.
As usual, vidya ends up with all the refuse who couldn't hack it in their field in an actual job
TranSlators, writers, "journalists" - many such stories
Honestly why is this the case????
You a failed movie director? Go direct games (Kojima)
You a failed actor? Go motion capture games (Debra Wilson)
You a failed writer? Go write video games (90% of Californians)
You a failed activist? Go lobby in video games (Majority of troons)
You a failed musician? Go score a generic orchestra in games (Every Sony Triple A slop)
You a failed designer? Go design games (Western Studios in a nutshell)
Why the frick are all the failures flocking to our hobby and pretending it’s THEIRS????
Standards aren't as high. They simply found a place where their lack of talent doesn't get them crushed, like a wienerroach that scurried under a cupboard
>You see, there was no way to literally translate the honorific of -san
>So we changed the line to say black lives matter, gay agenda, etc
How do you feel about your career becoming obsolete?
you're a translator who doesn't realize that there's no inserted politics in that translation?
The majority of EOP peasants here I can understand kneejerk reacting to something they can't read. What's your excuse?
maybe he's not a japanese translator
he's agreeing with you, dumbfrick
He isn't but aight.
He's saying that it's an insult. I don't need to type up his post again, do I? It was really clear.
it unironically sounds like you needed his post to start with "Yikes, I'm a translator and..."
okay
You may be moronic. Or you may be an ESL (functionally the same thing).
What exactly are you getting angry about?
It's always ironic when people who lack reading comprehension call other people ESL without any evident reason. Keep calling me that, though.
>What exactly are you getting angry about?
I want dumb posters to feel bad about making dumb posts so they leave or stop making dumb posts.
you do you
it's obvious you're already miserable but when will you stop posting then?
>moronic troonslators think people only hate them because of politics
>these troon don't understand most people are not terminally online freaks who understand wtf are bussing frfr monkas pog mean
what game is this? (if this is actually real and not an edit I need to know what to avoid)
princess connect but its a gacha and the english servers are dead already so you can't see that anywhere
Yeah, same. I was never formally taught but I've always thought that the translator should be invisible. I don't know why it's so hard for so many translators.
But if I'm invisible how am I able to push The Message™ then, and then gloat about it on social media 24/7/365?
>learn
Implying these "localizers" learned anything, or even deserve to be confused with translators.
>original work is already gay
>troonylator has to make it super gay bait
There's nothing wrong with that, you know.
Seinfeld?
They said that a lot in Frasier too! What was wrong with these people?
I would love if more people made mods to make these games more accurate.
behead every single localizer
keep crying
AI will be a massive failure
an tbhtte? "I don't know"? "that's it"? What does it mean?
Nandesutte without the N. Its basically Estelle's catchphrase through Sky. Its very grating in the Evo voice mod as its delivered in the exact same over the top tone and quickly wears out its welcome. Same with Lloyd's omae na...
Anime character catchphrases is something that just doesn't translate well to English. Believe it!
Yeah, so they should just get rid of it
AI-powered translation can't come soon enough
Xsneed Estelle = Bestelle
>Surrender now and I promise not to break your legs!
I like this one. A lot of Estelle's lines are made up, but I remember this one making me laugh during my playthrough.
This one caused so much seething.
I don't mind this one because they applied the meme correctly without overdoing it, while still sounding like a researcher that's amazed by history
Okay but why did they turn the researcher into an epic memester?
kys
Arbitrary references to internet memes is overdoing it by default.
indeed
It's nice localizer drama is finally hitting Japan proper, maybe they'll finally do something.
They already have
Shit like pic related is pissing them off because they weren’t aware to the extent that localizers changed shit so now they’re starting to hire AI to translate their manga and anime and cut out the middle man (western localizers)
It’s why there’s been so many AI localizer threads lately
this is an entirely acceptable translation if the original is anything along the lines of "うるせぇ、童貞"
If you don't know Japanese. Thats as accurate as nazi or chud.
>nazi or chud
insults based on far-right political beliefs, not 童貞 equivalent at all

insult based on not being able to get laid, very 童貞 and doesn't sound as dated as a plain "virgin" would. if a woman were to insult you for not being able to get laid in 2023 they would definitely primarily go for incel so that's the best translation for it
Stop living on twitter. This is why translators are fricking filled with your garbage.
Incel nowadays is a meme insult that means nothing
"Incel" won't date a translation faster than "virgin"?
Virgins are considered virtuous in most cultures. Only a stupid prostitute would use it as an insult.
"shut up, virgin" makes me feel like i'm in an 80s teen movie bully scene. it's not something people would actually say these days
>it's not something people would actually say these days
Shut up, virgin. Go defend your troonylations on reddit.
>it's not something people would actually say these days
How is that any worse than some of the fotm slang that's made it into recent translations?
At least it's a genre
Hearing someone calling someone else incel instantly paints them as an oversocialized twitterette
she's using doutei as a spiteful insult regarding a man's inability to have sex
of couse, i know the Ganker approved version would be to just say virgin because that doesn't evoke images of the typical teen girl insulting a dude's inability to get laid
>she's using doutei as a spiteful insult regarding a man's inability to have sex
And? That has nothing to do with incel
Sarah Silverman called Elon Musk, a man married like three times with 12 kids an incel
doutei is used as an insult the same way incel is
It's used by feminists and leftoids about people don't like, regardless of how much sex a person has?
His next argument will be about how it's totally a valid word because it can be found within modern dictionaries.
it's used by every fricking teenager. that character is literally some reiwa girl
you just let the culture war rot your brain to the point you can't accept people calling someone an incel rather than virgin loser in the 2020s
>"i-it's used by teenagers bro"
>source: my ass
Okay homosexual.
>muh culture war
Always funny whenever some disingenuous shitposter says this, implying that it doesn't exist or doesn't have any sway even though a "culture war" is the epitome of living in any society. Ideals clash all the time between groups, but apparently this is bad now because leftist buzzword spam is being targeted.
Get new material homo.
>it's used by every fricking teenager
I doubt that
>you just let the culture war rot your brain to the point you can't accept people calling someone an incel
Okay, the projection is off the charts here
I'm saying virgin is a better word because it actually has implications that the person never had sex, unlike incel which doesn't mean anything anymore
I don't understand why this makes you piss and shit your pants
>of couse, i know the Ganker approved version would be to just say virgin because that doesn't evoke images of the typical teen girl insulting a dude's inability to get laid
Spoken like an ESL, "virgin" has almost always had a negative connotation attached to it in regards to men, so yeah, it would be fine.
Several years ago "Incel" did stand for someone unable to have sex, but these days "Incel" is just leftist troonspeak for "person who disagrees with me politically", as evidenced by it being used even if the person actually isn't actually sexless.
>ESL
former EOP, now JSL. i have risen above you.
and lets not pretend that we didn't called married men virgins either or that this is unique to the west. like when karl jobst was getting cancelled and getting called a virgin despite being married
>lets not pretend that we didn't called married men virgins either
Find me a single piece of media where that happens
>u-using l-le buzzword would be ACKceptable if-
No it wouldn't, dumb troony.
Slang for slang is already iffy at best, slang for a normal term is extra dogshit with piss on top though.
troony
From Jap Twitter
The funny thing is if you actually understand Japanese you'd recognize that that was MTL'd from English to Japanese in the first place, and it's a good example of how MTL is still leagues away from ever matching a human translator.
no japanese would use that many fricking commas
Are you two stupid or something?
Is that supposed to prove something?
>No Jap would ever use commas like that
>screenshot where they do
homosexual
It's the exact same MTL text and there's no indication whatsoever that those posts are actually from Japanese people. Plus the commas are only one of many telltale signs.
your screenshot literally proves him right, this shit reeks of westerners LARPing as japanese by writing in MTL babble. you'd know this if you actually understand japanese and how actual japanese people write
several games over the past 10 years are already ruined though
Much of the commentary I see on the japanese side is Japanese people miffed at the whole Kimono debacle in boston, and thinking
>These frickers are so up their ass about cultural appropriation to shut down a japanese exibit made by japanese people with kimonos, and they have the audacity to do this?
>Activists are trash
FTFY
I fricking hate when there's dialog with a character stating that they're not gay, and immediately back pace to state there's nothing wrong with being gay. It like they're forced to apologize for not being a carpet muncher or crust-loving homosexual. I fricking hate everyone in the current writing medium.
That one Avenue Q song in shambles.
are people really still larping as anti-gay on Ganker?
what's even the basis for the objection now? Surely you don't expect me to believe that you're a 65 year old Christian white lady or something.
I’m 28 and I think homosexuality is not normal. I won’t stop you from doing it but it’s not normal and you are free to buttfrick but don’t act like you’re a victim
Also I just want properly translated shit
I think posting 5 anti-licakization threads a day is not normal.
Also, is media only allowed to depict normal things? Normal doesn't mean moral, you know.
>Ganker is one person
Strike 1
>I don’t like thing
>you “SO MEDIA ISNT ALLOWED TO-“
strike 2
>your idea of normal isn’t mine so now I feel personally attacked
Strike 3
fine, so you personally aren't interested in anything unusual? You'd rather the media you like only have Normal™ things in it?
>still trying to put words in my mouth
Lemme guess, you came from Twitter
I'm just trying to understand the basis for the objection.
All you said was "it's not normal," which is an insufficient explanation because abnormal things are in virtually everything.
It's not my fault you were purposely vague and left it up to inference.
I started disliking them after actually interacting with them online, I have yet to meet people that are more narcissistic and attentionwhoring than them
How many dogs have you spread your monkeypox to?
Powerful
lmfao this actually makes it so much worse, because they feel the need to explicitly address it and are assuming the person they're talking to thinks something is wrong with it
meanwhile in the japanese they just think it's based without needing to make a big deal out of it
im a leftist btw
This link has more than 100 images with examples of how they destroyed Fire emblem Fates:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230614205455/https://imgur.com/a/X2w49
Even literal sjws were writing articles saying that Nintendo was wrong to take out the face-touching minigame.
is there one for Engage?
they didn't remove anything for Engage.
well, maybe a line or two, but not like Fates.
So no line removals, I get that. What about the myriad of changes?
I mean yeah "removed" is not the word I guess.
They "censored" hundreds of lines. 😀
I have this list for Engage, in the uncensored patch page there's images.
homies complain about the pedo shit being removed when that was the least of changes.
Can someone nuke Treehouse?
What's okama?
Drag queen
Japanese gays
Bag woman
Bag with two golden balls inside
imagine how we use the word "troon"
basically that
A cooking pot.
Marginal at best. Why would you use it instead of virgin?
What? If anything incel is the meme that will sound dated and has more political baggage.
Well, there's a LOT of stupid prostitutes in vns.
>So what if I'm an okama
Why do translators do this?
>Does though
Dumb piece of shit doesn't know what "thou" means.
>localizers false-flagging as homophobes
interesting strategy to divert attention away from the real issue
>ITS LE SEINFELD REFERENCE SO ITS OKAY
Everyone and their mother knows Seinfeld, that shit plays on tv all the time, do morons think because it’s old people somehow haven’t seen it????
We don’t give a shit about what it’s referencing, it’s that it’s referencing in general
>oh god localizers are ruining everything just watch this:
>*posts an 11 year old anime dub*
>*posts a single line from an 18 year old rpg*
>*posts nagatoro saying 'sus'*
>see? it's already too late... everything is corrupted... you can't trust any translations...
nice try
>japanese sentence indirectly and subtly points out to the fact there's nothing wrong with it since the man obviously has a positive reaction to it as in "good for then, they love each other"
>english sentence HAS to DIRECTLY tell you "uhm btw there's nothing wrong with being gay homosexual homosexual, mmmkkaaay???"
I don't understand. Why do they have to be so on the nose about it?
that's where the localization comes in, idiot. japanese is a context heavy language where paragraphs of text can be conveyed in a single sentence. english is not.
that wasn't the point... you can say exactly the same thing in english and you would understand the subtext to it is a positive one without having to say "ofc nothing wrong with it lol"
>>JP: *Two men in a relationship*
>>EN: *Two men in a relationship* There's nothing wrong with that, you know.
>Localizers are trash
Oh stop lying about caring for "accuracy." You just want to hate on certain people doing the translating.
The inclusion of "there's nothing wrong with that" belies some problematic homophobia in the localizer. Like, obviously there's nothing wrong with it?! You didn't need to say that... someone really ought to notify the employer that they're working with a bigot.
xD
Ong
OHIOOO!
It's not localized, it's actually closer to literal. It's a verbose way of capturing the nuance of けど
Basically, the yellow line comes from けど and the subsequent line. The implication is "traditionally them being lovers s wrong BUT it's alright (because they're young)". It's the usual Japanese implication that gay is a cute phase.
It's probably something people would consider offensive, I guess. I think the translation is fine, especially if the translator's preference is "just convey everything the Japanese conveys".
>It's not localized
it is
>もしかしたら、本当に恋人関係なのかもしれんけど
>maybe it could be, they could truly be in a loving relationship however
both the troonlation and the MTL miss the point it's like 3 different "howevers" and "maybes" and "could bes"
>若いっていいですねー!!
>ah to be young again, rightー!!
i still don't know why the frick ね turning phrases into "right?" and "isn't it?" trips up westoids so much
>グフフフ
>Grrr...
>僕はとってもうらやましく思うなよ!!
>I'm not jealous at all!!
how in the absolute frick do you miss 思うなよ being a NEGATIVE conjugation meaning the speaker is not jealous? even MTL would get that right
It's not worth malding about. At the end of the day it's a choice you disagree with that mostly gets the points across.
>i still don't know why the frick ね turning phrases into "right?" and "isn't it?" trips up westoids so much
Because it's clumsy as frick
>how in the absolute frick do you miss 思うなよ being a NEGATIVE conjugation meaning the speaker is not jealous? even MTL would get that right
Because it's not 思うなよ
>思うな
That's imperative + negative anon.
The "けど" in the first line has nothing to do with "however". You'd learn this had you ever taken a Japanese class instead of "translating" shit with Google Translate
Also what you wrote for translations here barely qualify as English and would get you laughed at by any actually proficient speaker
n4 bro...
>just personal insults, no refutation
troonylator please...
The use of "思うなぁ!" doesn't necessarily make the sentence negative. In this context, it's more about expressing the speaker's feelings in a casual and conversational way. The particle "なぁ" (naa) is often used for emphasis, seeking agreement, or expressing a somewhat informal tone.
The sentence could be translated as "I feel very envious, you know!" The "なぁ" adds a touch of colloquialism, making it sound like the speaker is sharing their honest feelings with a hint of emphasis or seeking acknowledgment from the listener. It's not indicating a negative feeling; rather, it adds a personal and conversational touch to the statement.
You're literally replying to an AI post
Holy shit dekinai kek, watch/read more jap media

Do you think all those tweets are negative?
>troon having a melty because he got called out
KEK
you're moronic. Even AI would know what
says is correct because it's so common. the original post in this chain completely misread what it said (literally got the characters wrong) and now you're bending over backwards trying to defend it kek
?t=601
this is for you
so where's the 思うなぁ example
Says the troon making mistakes not even literal MTL should do?
>even MTL would get that right
Here's what gpt wrote
>Maybe, they might truly be in a romantic relationship. Being young is wonderful!! Hehehe... I feel very envious!"
But it's なぁ and not just な, so it isn't changing the 思う to negative, right? It's like ねぇ, isn't it?
>But it's なぁ and not just な
What? It's just な. Where are you getting the sokuon from?
From OP's image
Ah, I see! My bad.
To answer your question: the sokuon doesn't change the meaning. It still says "I'm totally not jealous!".
What
no, that actually means "Huh!" not a negation.
Anooonnnnn, dooo youuu knoooowwwww whaaaat speeeech like thisssss meanssss?
>how in the absolute frick do you miss 思うなよ being a NEGATIVE conjugation meaning the speaker is not jealous? even MTL would get that right
you've obviously never seen any piece of media that featured japanese salarymen
weird that this anon's explanation was mostly ignored.
It's almost like the people complaining don't actually give a shit what the intended meaning was, and are just here to b***h.
Something about japanese media seems to attract the severely mentally ill. And bots.
Cause it's wrong kedo isn't used as a "but" but aa a softener adding to the kamoshiranai to be more polite
I'd say the kedo there is to express uncertainty, which makes it the third time she says 'maybe, possibly, perchance" etc. in one sentence.
It makes her sounds like she's equivocating too much and leaving something unsaid about male lovers. The translator filled in the gap with what they thought was being implied, mostly because English is a much more direct language.
>kedo isn't used as a "but"
I mean it is, essentially, unless you want to split hairs because it doesn't suit what you want to push atm

*localizes your game*
She makes me a little less racist and sexist. Wish they were all like this.
I don't even play Jap games and this disgusts me.
The problem is, if you don't know the language, how are you supposed to differentiate a good translation from a bad one?
How are you supposed to know who does and does not have an agenda?
All you need to remember is that no japanese game has ever been translated faithfully. Zero. All of them are subject to incompetence and troonylations.
What about Zelda minish cap?
Nintendo is inherently pozzed.
Minish cap was capcom
>it was properly translated, cope

>AI will be woke too
>japan is getting pozzed at the source anyway
YOU ARE HERE
>ok but in due time the AI models will become pozzled
>ok but muttland will threaten japan or something to give me my job back
Wait so no Japanese games were censored at the design stage? Was that all just a lie, did people get mad at nothing?
>AUS: "Two pooftas being a pair of gay c**ts"
what's wrong with that one?
i refuse to believe this is real
i piss on the water enhanced graves of these mongrels
I will learn the language and I'll still root for AI to replace localizers
If all JP-EN translations are bad and infested by trannies, where does the dataset for accuracy come from for the AI manga publishers will use to replace them?
They don't feed the AI with past mangatranslations if that's what you're implying.
unironically by using JP>CN>EN datasets because chinks have westoids on a leash and force them to have accurate translations and there's no real issues on JP>CN and back
>chinks have westoids on a leash
Bullshit. Genshin is rife with complete nonsense.
yeah because hoyo doesn't give a frick, the whales still pay
Unironically real literature, and as someone pointed out, by cross referencing with chink language and their own literature.
Go read up stuff like No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai for example, while obviously not perfect the translation is still held to literature standards.
The aren't. Just SOME of the game ones. Check out fansubs from a decade ago by comparison.
Publishing houses for actual literary works, probably. They are often done by professors of japanese in collaboration with native speakers.
>tfw you've failed as a writer and your only cope is rewriting japanese videogames
want to laugh harder? realize they are failed writers when compared to goyslop like this
what the frick?
>implying that the writing in japanese videogames is good
It is not your job to "fix" it, thanks.
>this dismissive trannoid cope again
Yawn
Get new material homosexual.
Unironically yes, even the lowest effort slop from japan is better than westoid masterpieces, this is an objective fact.
Why are westoids so afraid the world is going to inevitably find this truth when westoids become unable to butcher japanese media?
>The writing is bad! So let ME be the one to fix it. Don't like it? I don't give a shit

welcome to modern western society
or as some would call it: hell
When the frick have rightoids ever been wrong when mocking wokies? You don't have to do any extra work exaggerating what they say when it's already batshit insane.
Just like the "we're coming for your kids" stuff, MSM loved saying that was just "fearmongering from transphobes", but then last year we had several large troony gatherings all chanting that.
From the ones using "troony" as a buzzword for literally everything they don't like, I'm surprised to see something legitimate.
Isn't Funi headed by someone from Toei?
That would have been immensely entertaining, but you can say for certain it would've just been her screeching GET OUT OF HERE NAZI!1!!1!!!1
I've lost count of the times I've unironically deboonked stuff that's posted here after a 1 min google skim

It'd surprise you, but people are able to shift through trash results to uncover actual useful links pretty easily.
Boomers like yourself struggle with this, most likely due to your brain having shrunk massively over the years.
Nice deboonk there.
Don't worry bro, I know you can "totally do it", you just won't though because uhhh you wanna look cool or something (really just to derail, but that's okay)

literally no one posited they could deboonk anything you posted. I wasn't even aware you had posted anything worth deboonking. only said fake, easily falsifiable shit gets posted on Ganker all the fricking time.

By the way this is literally saying you could deboonk it, but alas, we know you can't.
>Yeah I can bro but I won't haha
Basically akin to vagueposting.
Try again, troon!
Awww babby's first inspect element edit, how cute!
Like that other anon said though, you're just acting like it's incomprehensible. It's a very typical play from wokeoids to try and discredit what anyone says, but anyone that can see past fallacious bullshit realizes you just tried to duck out of answering.
But yeah bro, you totally have all the proof to "deboonk" everything I said earlier, it's just uhhh somewhere out in the aether in google maaan "edcuate yourself" maaan

Please don't lump us in with newbie tourists that weren't around for GG.
Gamer Grifters were amongst the first to start licking TERF twat over everybody's favorite common ground issue.
And what the frick is that?
The thing that they paved the way for and then blamed on the patriarchy and male privilege once dudes in dresses started invading their spaces.
anime conventions are already full of insane people. it was a Q&A with people who work on anime dubs, you don't attend that unless you already like sniffing their farts.
Pretty much this, western anime cons are full of normalhomosexual ironic weeaboos. It's admirable the dude even asked the question when he was a sheep in the wolves' den.
The original is pretty cringe, regardless.
All the localization drama just show how these troon think Japan is below them
They will never dare to do that kind of stuff to Chinese media
adding the line makes it sound like there is something wrong with it, compared to the original version.
Hey Japanese learners!

Total troonylator Death
When are they going to localize the prison break manga?
I like how the troonylation schizo is posting in multiple threads about his mental illness.
The issue is that western branches don't give a frick and original Jap branches are too clueless to react to this shit.
ATLUS West is pretty much woke/troony central and they try to do everything to influence SMT into being a troony franchise, including completely rewriting scenes in games when they are "problematic".
Unless the main, head branches/executives in Japan learn about this, nothing will happen to the troonylators.
>Unless the main, head branches/executives in Japan learn about this, nothing will happen to the troonylators.
Who cares about some western streamer?
>he's unaware
Again, who cares about some western troonylator.
Show me an official response from Japanese executive of a publisher that they will react to this. If you cannot, i don't give a single frick. Nothing will happen and trannies will keep getting away with it.
are you sure nothing will happen?
I am 100%, a 1000% sure nothing will happen.
Until i see official statement and those people kicked out and blacklisted, it's a literal nothingburger.
Now kys, homosexual.
you should start planning your next grift instead of shitposting your denial here boi
>Show me an official response from Japanese executive of a publisher that they will react to this
>continues to post youtube videos of not that
>demoralizer troon still in hysteric denial when people are already getting replaced
AI replacement is completely unrelated. They are just saving money. This is not a response to theme being shit.
Yes and no, it's always a tradeoff. Same with art.
AI is cheaper, but if the worker can offer more then he will surely get hired, artists can provide consistency and a high degree of customization and detail, for example.
The point is that localizers have no moat. They have no selling point. They were already bottom of the barrel and they are now trying to garner sympathy when many deserve none.
>firing and replacing
Literally not happening. The Ancient Magus Bride was not getting simulpubbed before, so there were no translators to fire or replace. Seven Seas is publishing the volumes with human translations and will continue to do so.
>Seven Seas is publishing the volumes with human translations
Bro, Seven Seas won't even be necessary when Bushiroad could just go straight to Simon & Schuster (the actual distributor) and get them to distribute their AI translation instead.

You coped the same way about Bridget.
Truth is, they don't give a frick. Games sell and that's all they care about.
>Games sell and that's all they care about.
The Japanese are insanely image conscious. If what's happening doesn't represent what they intended, they'll hate it. If it affects the image of the company they'll hate it worse. Because they know those things are what impact the sales in the next ten years.
Can you not read? A youtube channel with a talking boxfish isn't a video game company.

even expat english teachers are on the chopping block anon
And what does that have to do with editors and corporate guidelines? I mean, I'd like for this fantasy to come true too despite being a translator myself (though I'm working on transitioning out f this dead end career because I stopped enjoying it a long time ago). But it's not. Even if every Japanese company majorly changed how they did localization and somehow stopped bad translators and editors from touching their work, there's still going to be censorship because the companies make excuses like "Well, Americans won't like that!"
Japanese devs

Baffling how troonylators and their whiteknights will say their rewrite dialogue "reads like natural speech" but then they always make the characters sound like capeshit quips or cartoon network slop.

>American calling someone else an ESL
Isn't literally 50% of your country functionally illiterate?
Nope.

And of course your pea brain doesn't know what ESL is.
Google what ESL means, Mohammed.

Its literally over.
Why must everything be so stilted and tryhard with these morons?
Not that anon, but most of us don't want to. We just love the culture and media that you homosexuals keep subverting and changing.
translating japanese is very hard. that extra sentence was created from the shavings between the lines that only they could see.

Trannies at this point need the rope.

Japan is catching on to shitty localizations
this is based but it wont change anything
>amerimutt localizers are racist cultural imperialists
yeah people have been saying this since the 90s
Pretty much.
Most Americans who work in any kind of field translating Asian media are ironically racist as shit.
It's so bad that I generally don't trust any American translators who are white since I know that they're likely to be cultural imperialists.
What I find this funny is that "official localizers" 30 years ago would have translated this to "There might have been brothers, ah how close they were, ugh if only i was that close with my siblings".
>ummm ill just lie and pretend like this would’ve happened despite no examples evidence or proof
Im starting to think im too old for this website now.
The people bringing up moron takes are probably over half my age.
You're looking at zoomers pretending to be boomers, ESLs pretending to be White, poorgays pretending to be rich and gays who are angry at everything 24/7. And it's worse on Ganker.
I wasn't able to speak up about it 30 years ago. If I was around back then I would have, but I'm here now, so I'm fighting these battles. I can't speak about the injustices that happened before I was born.
>theres nothing wrong when a species who's survival depends on opposite sex mating prefer to mate with same sex
pffffft yea sure.

Why did they reference Seinfield?
Maybe this damage control will work (it won't)
>This is WhiteSnow, a town filled with snow. Enjoy the world of snow.
>(Note: This is what happens when you do a direct translation.)
Except it's not actually a direct translation, they translated it badly on purpose because they think they're funny how dare they ruin and destroy the sanctity of the original dialogue spoken by a single NPC that has no bearing at all on the main plot just to be """""funny""""" HOW DARE THEY DEATH TO ALL LOCALIZERS
>HOW DARE THEY DEATH TO ALL LOCALIZERS
this but unironically
The desperate localizer, after being out of arguments, and his job, starts making imaginary strawmen with himself. Sad!
You will never be Japanese
to be honest the yellow part could've been implied by way of context. can you give the part just before this?
Shitty localization has been an apparent issue since the early 00s like seen in old snes rpgs. If you haven't learned japanese by now you have no right to complain anymore.
Learning Jap won't matter soon enough, major players in Jap media have already bent over and spread their asscheeks for localizers to ruin shit at the source. It's only a matter of time until more join in, Capcom did recently.
True but japan still lags behind the west in terms of wokeness by at least 20 years or so. This ship will sink too but its sinking really slowly.
>True but japan still lags behind the west in terms of wokeness by at least 20 years or so.
? They've been slowly but surely implementing "all gender bathrooms" everywhere and shit like having one unisex uniform at their schools now too. Maybe at best like 5 years in some areas, but they are matching the west in others.
You're commiting a selection bias here. Japan is still selling e-girl doujins so my estimate of 20 years should be correct. There's no way japan is just 5 years away from turning woke bro. Let's rejoice the remaining life time of japan.
the irony is the first one is more implicitly tolerant lmao
