I'm just happy when a translation is mostly accurate nowadays. Punching up doesn't bug me too much--yeah there are some projects that get a little too wacky, but it's worth it if we get more Austin Powers-esque games.

Another favorite clueless culture war tourist moment I remember is when people accused the translators for Somnium files of "forcing in Woke ideology" and citing the LGBT line...even though the JP line says out the acronym in plain detail that even if you didn't know a lick of Japanese you'd pick it up lol.

I really really liked it except for all the parts where it pretended to be more of a video game. Remove all the VR puzzle stuff and it'd be a 5/5 instead of a 4.

the person making those complaints doesnt even know japanese you moron, and neither do you



'we completely fell for it' is a literal translation of this line that google translate spits out

however what's actually being said here is, 釣られ. which uses the kanji, 釣. this means angling, fishing, getting hooked (by fishing bait.) the character is saying he got baited and hooked like a fish. the translation keeps this. the google tl he spits out does not.

sit down and shut the gently caress up about poo poo you dont understand.

How was the danganronpa anime adaptation, I think a lot of gamers ragged on it.

The endgame one that tried to explain how it all started just made me go “this is dumb” a video that mindbreaks everyone in the world?

the first one is just a straight up adaptation of the game

the prequel one is actually fun but i feel that showing more junko is bad overall

hope arc is mid

e: what i mean when i say more junko is bad is that she's kinda by the nature of the premise too powerful.

The closest acceptable translation is
"die properly"
Way back in the day when I was translating a Touhou fighting game dialog on the wiki, someone got mad at me because I wrote Reimu telling Okuu that she would have to take responsibility for her own actions as "it'll be on your head" because "head" didn't appear anywhere in the original phrase.

Then, when I was on my first job as a translator, a coworker wrote every instance of だろう as "I wonder" even in prose because that's what the dictionary told him it meant. He was let go a few weeks later.

i get that junko is the ultimate analyst which is why she can mask as the ultimate fashionista and becomes the ultimate despair, but the plot bends over itself to let her do what she wants and get away with anything because the games need to happen and its kinda jarring

the only acceptable way to translate a manga or anime is to insert out of place curse words to make the series more adult and edgy
