The original twitter thread that I'm assuming that video is based on is interesting. It's basically a mixture of: things that are surprisingly accurate (the clothing, the utensils and other day to day life details of ancient China), things that are inaccurate but probably deliberately for plot/stylistic reasons (the anachronistic Forbidden City, arguably everything to do with the villains), and mistakes. https://twitter.com/XiranJayZhao/status/1314765485087420416

Dire Lemming posted:Not really? I stopped watching Contra because I didn't like what she did but saying she's not allowed to feel isolated because she has a successful business is absurd. I've yet to see argument along the lines of "you are x, thus you cannot be a victim of y" that actually holds up, maybe they're actually all bad arguments? Yeah it's not like hearing positive things cancels out hearing bad stuff, in any real life scenario. Imagine trying to hold onto a good mood when someone accuses you of cannibalizing trans people. mycot fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Nov 15, 2020 |

CelticPredator posted:That really isnt true about Batman or Superman though? I dont read comics but half the time I see Superman or Batman panels its Superman telling a suicidal girl off a ledge, or punching the joker through his chest. With batman it's his giant dong, or Joker ripping off his own face. I have to say this conversation is making a very poor argument that edgy interpretations of superheroes are not terrible dogshit.

DesertIslandHermit posted:I don’t know where Bob picked up his background but some of it may have fermented from that American period in the 00s when the culture war was brewing over things like teaching evolution in schools or prayer in class. So he does what plenty of teens and young adults did, take pride in science and intellectualism. Nobody would object to science. It’s all facts! Combine that with consuming lots of 00s media where dunking on the Bible Belt was all the rage and voila. Yeah. I don't think it's anything more complicated than "all the world's problems would be solved if all the money went to white science bros" mindset aging very very poorly.

Yardbomb posted:Also like what "myth", china is still trying to ethnically cleanse tibet, they're still constantly trying to tread on taiwan including passing ever more transparently abusable laws (Because HK's legislature is filled with party toadies) against like "disrespecting" the chinese anthem and limiting the size of groups in public and a guy just got out of prison after like two years for merely commemorating the tiananmen square massacre. Where's the lie in any of their big authoritarian shitfits over those three and more. In an area that most people in this thread are probably more familiar with, there was also the recent case of the Taiwanese indie game Devotion basically getting annihilated off the internet due to complaints from mysterious parties.

Keep in mind A LOT of this is trolling and shitdidnthappen because it is now a thing to look cool owning dumb teens.

Augus posted:The infamously whitewashed Last Airbender movie had an Indian-American writer/director/producer who hand-picked the actors he wanted to be in the movie. Not disagreeing with your main point but the hilariously obvious nepotism with the white girl playing Katara showing up in blockbusters for a hot minute is always something I remember with the ATLA movie.

Dapper_Swindler posted:thats the thing alot of the chuds trying to false flag poo poo tend to show their hands/asses really hard because they don't know how to actually sound woke/progressive but if the blood is already in the water it doesnt matter anyway. jenny also isnt terminally online and doesnt really get in fights so she is actually hard to fake poo poo well. also no one cares about fake star wars tweets outside weird reactionaries who don't like her already. On the contrary I feel like Jenny never has any real twitter dirt because she is extremely online.

Augus posted:I got recommended this video about 100%ing Balan Wonderworld and wow is this game just a deep rabbit hole. Balan is such a weird bad game because there is actually so much effort in places that very few players would see or notice. Everything about the secret costume that actually gives you air options and turns the game into a NIGHTS clone is . I wonder if it would have been better received if it actually was a tap-to-jump phone game, but Genshin Impact came out and was a "real" game on mobile so maybe not.

As someone who only experienced the plot of Harry Potter through the Shrieking Shack, looking at just the text on its own I was honestly impressed at how consistently unsympathetic House Slytherin is and how the books never throw a single bone to the massive fanbase that was desperately holding out for Slytherin Not Being That Bad. I would almost take it as commentary against people trying to see the good points to the Wizard Nazi faction if it wasn't for....all the context in real life.

I agree that legitimate translation criticism gets buried because of all the twitter hot takes but it's not like someone from the perspective of not knowing Japanese (e.g. me) is happy with it either. Every time someone starts complaining about a localization I always have to double check their profile to make sure they're not Weeb Hitler or believe that the West literally invented LGBT people.

Endorph posted:see how the fire emblem fates tl was terrible but the entire conversation was about the facetouching minigame.

e X posted:Basically every story that tries to juxtapose Batman and the Joker ends up pretty shallow, since there aren't really that many similarities between the two, outside one being the hero and one the villain of the story. Every time the Evil Batman thing circles around I always think of that video of Mark Hamill saying that there's no thematic connection between clowns and bats.
