They translated "Maria", a common Czech name used in the shape of "Marie" as "Maria"

That hurt much more then it should.

@LukeAlmighty but that's objectively correct, her name is Maria, not Marie

@LukeAlmighty although with a last name of Robotnik the Chech form would make sense

@tomie
I am not sure what you mean here... Robotnik doesn't need any change in infinitive for a guy.

A woman would be Robotniková. This part is driving international feminists insane :D

@LukeAlmighty I mean that the word "robot" is Czech in origin
but 'Maria' is also a perfectly valid form of the name, nothing latinx about it and no need to change it when it's already kinda abnormal (her name by default would be Mary otherwise)

Follow

@tomie
I could accept Mary, since it isn't czech compatible, but Maria is.

Well, anyway. Robot is robot. No need to change it.
