Meru thought is a good idea on Twitter to post her ego in regards to critics criticizing her work.

As an aside, I don't think the "woke" stuff is really the main issue people have. If it's the devs' decision to have a gay or trans character in a game then I don't think nearly as many people would care. It's the censorship and altering stuff that make people mad. People would probably still be mad if they censored a character that was trans in Japanese (like Vivian in Paper Mario TTYD). If they wouldn't they'd be a hypocrite.

That's how I see it anyway.

:cirno-laugh:

There are numerous threads here with multiple examples of woke localization, removing sex, adding faggotry, rewriting traps as trannies to name a few.

Don't know why you keep running optics for these sub-humans when they deserve all the shit they get.

Personally, I think localizes should have one bone permanently broken for each line they vandalize.

Adjusted tweet. Do this people live in a parallel universe? Like, dude, who not gonna explain that, no one, literary no one asking for MTL, but we ends up in the place where MTL looks more appealing then what those people are producing.

Maybe if these sub-humans didn't keep vandalizing other people's work, no one would prefer machine translation.
But let's be honest, once AI like GPT-3 offers Japanese to English translation and we can replace these fuckers, we would all be better off.
Sure some lines would be awkward, but I rather a 80-90% accurate translations with no memes, censorship or vandalization than what we have now.

Wait for them to train that AI on those fucked localizations, and AI would translate even worse :cirno-laugh:
Actually maybe its a long con? To secure working space for themselves? jk

If it's anything like stable diffusion and you can train it yourself to get your own data set, I'm certain enough of us weebs would be willing to pay help train it just to avoid localizers.

Exactly, they're changing the game into something that it wasn't intended to be. It doesn't matter how they're changing it. I'm not defending them.

If you're not running damage control then why is woke in quotations?

I don't think the "woke" stuff is really the main issue people have.
Japan can and has made woke media and I hate it just as much as I hate western woke media, look up Kamen RIder Black Sun as an example, with niggers running a civil rights campaign, references to St. Floyd of Fentanyl and the works.

Wokeness itself is a problem, it's a tumor upon a culture and should be surgically removed

Whether localizers add wokeness or it's woke from the offset is still a problem, separate problems but a problem.

Well the first tweet is the correct course of action for everyone, but on the other hand not being affected by the censorship lets you be more objective about just how bad localization is instead of succumbing to stockholm syndrome like EOP localization defenders.

It's funny how she instead succumbed to becoming a loooocalizer herself

Also obligatory gambs was right. Did he ever make a new Twitter account?

man i miss gambs so fucken mutch

but on topic, the problem with the whole "just learn Japanese" thing is yea. everyone should be learning Japanese, it should not have to be reiterated a billion fucken times. and the problem with what Meru is doing is that she is using it to shut down people's valid criticisms of localization.

these things are not mutually exclusive. people and both learn Japanese AND criticize and dunk on these people for not doing their jobs correctly simultaneously. so we should watch out for when people like Meru here try to reframe the "just learn Japanese" advice for their own benefit by using it to dismiss us. and not fall into the trap.

anyway, remember to do your daily reps... for gambs
