The thing about RE5 is that Capcom actually got consultant groups in to make sure they didn't depict any specific tribal culture in Africa, they didn't want to be insensitive. But unfortunately it's a game from the Obama years so Chris ends up dodging spears while collecting gold from their huts lol
Talked about this with a friend, and they delivered a summation so utterly perfect in describing the following which Fujimoto has developed that I can literally add nothing beyond sharing it here.
What issues did the subs have, exactly?
Umiri literally kills people.
@katrinal10n.bsky.social Besides for "can't forgive" for ่จฑใใชใ, what are some of the other "stock" translations that stick out to you as especially bad?
NOT THIS TRANSLATION AGAIN
่จฑใใชใ DOES NOT MEAN โCANโT FORGIVEโ
โWhat is truly reprehensible (is the fact that)โฆโ
Despicable. Disgusting. Anything but this translation.
(Also poor grammar: what = the teacher?)
happy birthday jacopo #fatamoru
It's one of the most beloved characters in the series, that's who it is.
Can't wait for the latest rounds of hot takes about Chainsaw Man being some secret act of spite from Fujimoto towards Shueisha to fall apart in a few weeks time.
Amusing to me that this is likely how a decent number of people will learn about the most famous and popular Danganronpa fanwork.
Honestly, about fits.
She also wants to drag you to live in Dubai with her. It's a lot.
hear me outโฆ
Aaaaaaand then Kaoruko and Futaba spiral into active relationship problems.
I think my prime example of how translation works is just to compare how I handled a specific line VS the actual sub:
็งใใใใฎใซใใฎๅญใซๆนใใใใใ๏ผ
Official: "Because you were drawn to her and not me?"
My TL: "Or is it because, even though you have me, your heart belongs to her?"
You can see the difference.
Where does Desscaras from Ichi the Witch fit into the dichotomy.
I've seen multiple people name Lillie as their introduction to waifu culture.
It's a good thing that people are realising how taboo piracy is in Japan since it really shows how silly that Moon channel guy is for thinking jp gacha companies are trying to censor him for pointing out chinese games are taking their market. Sorry man, they're just anal about copyright!
Basically the only reason why doujinshi culture exists is because most JP creators are smart enough to play by the honor code.
Or a Kazutaka Kodaka protag.
FFIV-X really was a goddamn generational run creatively, holy hell.
That reminds me, did you see the LoveSetsu copium. bsky.app/profile/end-...
Noticed that right wing anime fans tend to fixate on English speaking vtubers more than Japanese ones these days. Makes me wonder if the bulk of them would mainly watch dubbed anime if funimation didn't do what they did to the Dragon Maid dub lol
ONE OF THE TWO IS THE OTHER'S MOM

Language exists to drive us both insane.
It's evidently hereditary, given some of the stuff Beastars and Sanda do.
Is the joke that she's also gay herself.
Behold! The mind of someone desperate to not be seen as immoral!
Really funny thing about this meme is that the character pictured is in no way a pedophile.
He's a murderer, a cult leader, a mysogynist, and a rapist, but he is not a pedophile.
Pretty much my wholesale impression of Jessie Gender is a woman who got viscerally upset about how her left-wing activism failed to garner the fast results she wanted, and has defaulted on wanting art to give her that fantasy instead.
I could be wrong, but I have yet to see a solid counter.
