Not a dramatic example but annoyed me through an alright read:
SAO spin off Gun Gale Online light novels are localized, suppressing honorifics and changing Miyu/Fukaziroh turning her dialog from a boke character to deviant art comment sections; but one offense that is a technical fault and shits on the entire premise is changing from metric to imperial. Badly.

The author of this work is the guy who wrote Kino no Tabi and mentions in an afterword going on trips to gun ranges in Asia for the SAO production that introduced GGO. Every single encounter has a basis on line of sight, plain distances and effective (shooting) distances; hence measurements are important, but localization demands imperial: that would be alright except that you can't really trust the likes of a localizer to use a calculator correctly.

Just imagine, a 27 inch blowback fold-stock pistol SMG.

Actual measurements for comparisson

So every encounter and place is subject to this jarring 'how retarded was this guy feeling when converting that day' factor you cannot really measure while you also reverse translate characters going "Wowzers" (multiple times.)

Manga adaptation was translated by the same guy, and he works with Shonen Jump

Warming to the idea of localizers being cultural commissars soft-locking people into the gay and retarded western reserve.

Capcom would make a game about murdering puppies and kittens if they thought it would give them profit so is no surprising that they are bending the knee to that nonsense.

I myself dont know what else to do but to wait and see what are going to be the effects of that and hope that not many other companies go this way (unlikely imo)

Also just to be clear, I don't condone violence against anyone including these localizers.

No, I do condone violence.

These people are no different to the CCP destroying temples because it wasn't communist or Isis destroying statues to remove all traces of civilization that came before then.

Localizers are cultural vandals, they should be treated as such.

These faggots are simply crying wolf and do not deserve any sympathy or pity. These assholes do the same thing on social media if they don't like you, yet they want protected class status. Fuck them. Here are some of the "vile" things said that were merely jokes:
