Calling people babies (for some up-til-then-at-least very minor pushback) is pretty friggen unprofessional though, I don't even have a dog in this fight and that immediately flipped my "wow gently caress you" switch. This is hardly the place to talk about it though.


Seems like a pretty relatable situation for a Tokyo office worker :smith:
I didn't click any of the links. Was it that bad? I only saw the "and I wish then well" pic. (Unless more was linked and I just don't remember. That'd be ... in character.)

I'm sure the dub will add "but I'm not gay" after every line of Kobayashi's speech this episode about people being afraid of people who are different from them.

Oh I see! This must be the Bad Opinion Zone!
The dub will have Kanna state her last name as Not-Kobayashi to her classmates to squelch any idea she might be considered to have been adopted.

It really is the case, and I think "captive market" may be the operative term.

Zoglin may be better poised to explain, but it's a thing. Often, grandparents will buy the backpack for the kid and see it as a way to dote upon them.

(From what I know)

E: You know, I don't even know where I got that from or why I think I know it.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is the latest Kyoani show. It's based off of a cute gag manga about three friends. To save money, they all live together in one apartment.

They are good friends, and it's super, super charming. :3:

Really the only thing bugging me about the line change is that culture is in enough of a precarious position that people are really sensitive to things that can be construed as anti-LGBT in any possible sense. poo poo's kinda touch and go right now and that might explain the reaction.

i mean. it's changing a line from something really innocuous to something that completely changes the context of everything, in a really bad way, that kind of ruins a part of the show people like and lots of lgbt people i've seen connect with. that's why people are mad.

The dub writer's defensive stance made the twitter drama a lot worse than it needed to be, too. "I'm sorry people were hurt by the decision, I'll try to do better" would have defused things pretty well, "this is the obvious right way to read the character you dumb babies" ruined a decent chance to let people assume the best intentions.

But whatever. I didn't even care that much for the dub anyway.
