Oh, they tled it the same across the board lol. Enough nuance in the JP term they could've at least done something with that but I guess not.

I suppose it's more just, yeah you could tl this in a less loaded way but I feel like the misstep of it especially in a context like Ouran has some value. I got a bit lost in the weeds proposing basically a tl-only construct that doesn't even align with the level the series cares about its usage, like Colonel was saying.

Personally I would recommend watching the show 15 years ago with Lunar subs, which just left okama untranslated with a note at the top of the screen. :)

the real cancellable thing about ouran is that it was one of vic mignogna's most famous and popular dubs

2006 was definitely waist deep still in the "hahaha our society is unapologetically awful by being as edgy as possible."

I dont think that translation was like...trying to be disrespectful, but it's definitely a product of the time. One of those moments where you have to focus more on how the stuff is actually handled than the words it uses.

Every year we move further away from the 00s and I've become increasingly thankful about it.

the dub was made in 2006 and 'okama' has to be translated into something. they chose, poorly, but it was 2006.

why do a ton of people in the west seem to cringe at the mere thought of fanfiction compared to japan (doujins) whether it be anime, video games or any other medium? i know the history of doujin and how it's become popular, so why does the west have such a negative attitude with something similar like fanfiction?

I think it's a mixture of things, not the least of which being the real lack of an established market compared to Japan. It doesn't mean that the marketable scene doesn't exist internationally, there have been popular book series that started off as fanfiction before the serial numbers were filed off. But as a culture it doesn't have as much of a foothold in physical media compared to something like zines.

Ive written fanfiction in the past. Hell, I'm writing some now for the first time in like ten years. It can be a good creative outlet, kinda like buying a Lego kit and then modding it with other pieces to make something with your own flair.

Gaogaigar being just constant escalation after episode 30 is so different from any other long running kids show. Usually even after the mid season arc you still get quiet or filler episodes but Gaogaigar just keeps raising the stakes. It's great but fascinating
