Oh hi.
The Alyx Vance must go this way anyway.

@mischievoustomato I've been cursing the penguin for years, and the only response I get back is "no, you don't get it, it's meant to look ugly!". These people are literally worse than art snobs that pretend a shit stain on the wall is art. 
@mischievoustomato
Can't tell if it's one of those Chinese fakes, where it's a woman in a dress and makeup that pretends to be a robot, or if it's AI generated, or if actually is the real deal.
@SMetzeler I wonder if the models appreciate being used as political pawns by a lunatic. I can't imagine they were informed of this stunt prior to the show.
@BasedLunatic The worst part is that I swear I've seen that exact face.
@BasedLunatic
That would actually be better than what they actually do.
@BasedLunatic What's the job? From the items on the desk, my best guess would be accounting.
@mischievoustomato Trick question, one of those will never happen.

@wgiwf @Goalkeeper @DrRyanSkelton I was going to start a manga publisher back in the mid 2000s, got my business plan together, got into contact with Tuttle Mori (the agency basically all works used to be licensed through) and I found out a lot of things about the Japanese industry.
1. It is market driven.
2. They are aware that they don't know what Westerners want and trust Western companies and journalists to reflect what we want to them.
3. This is not "art" to the publishers (Kodansha, Square Enix, etc). To them, it is a product to be made to sell and whatever needs to change for it to sell overrides whatever the artist might want or think unless they are a reliable hit maker (Toriyama, Seo Kouji, people like that)
The function out the other side is that they will absolutely let Western studios change just about anything they want. It got bad enough in some cases, that the Japanese companies were getting upset at having the media misrepresented to the world and clamped down a bit.
For the more artistic Japanese side reaction to this being the state of the industry, you can see the minor rebellion that Murata Range created in the form of his ROBOT books, where he got weird and interest artists together and let them just do whatever they wanted.
But generally, it's understood that this is a product and appeals to a specific genre segement (shounen, seinen, shoujo, ecchi, etc)
China doesn't have that view and is very protectionist of their culture and cultural output and how it's viewed abroad so I expect they will remain better about it.

@Goalkeeper @DrRyanSkelton The annoying part, even beyond the "localizing" is that they aren't just making it "more understandable," they're erasing the culture behind the product which made all this popular to begin with AND adding their own "better" version. So many localizers talk about how boring and straightforward Japanese is.
And yes, if you learn nothing about the culture, it seems boring. It is a nuanced method of communication that can be expressed well without "localizing" it and filling it with memes and whatever these fanfic faggots think is funny.
They obviously have no respect for the art, they have no respect for the culture that produced it, and they imagine themselves as improving it by spicing up "bland" characters, ignoring that the cultural output being interesting and good is the only reason they have a job in the first place.
I hate it so much. I hate that most localizers don't even speak the language, let alone understand the culture. They need to be killed. It's such a brilliant and easy way to learn about a culture, learn about their quirks and world view and customs, and these faggots delight in shitting it up.

@beardalaxy Just had a crazy idea... now that she's indie, what are the chances chat can get her to spill the beans on Kronii's question?

Oh, I absolutely agree that it is completely plausible. Which is why I do find the post highly interesting, and I keep reading it every time I encounter it. But plausible things don't always end up being true. So to me, it's one of those things I am cautious to completely believing it, or repeating it as factual, because it kinda feels too good to be true.
Thanks for clarifying the Israeli IP thing, and thanks for your response. I guess we're ultimately in agreement. It reads as absolutely plausible and possible, but we don't actually know.
@RatPoster
I don't usually wish this kind of thing on people but... how funny would it be if "they" killed "themselves" over Saba doubling down on the loli thing?
@beardalaxy I feel like I once came across a similar image, but with their Holo iterations.
@RealRaul Do you need anyone to come and rescue you from that cage?

I don't think it proves them right, I just think that it is hilarious.
I do think, though, that there is an inherent fragility to any organization that relies on repetitive propaganda and censorship for its continued existence; cults or governments or all those wignats that start repeating their slogans at you if you use one of the words.
I noticed something about, I forget, I think it was chess, but it was definitely not about race or politics, and I said on fedi that I had noticed it, and some wignat pops in and says "Noticing things makes you anti-semitic" and this was about the eighth time I'd heard that but this was so completely out of left field that I got pissed off at the guy, like they refuse to allow you to use some really common English-words without injecting their horseshit thought-stopping cliches.

Quick question, more out of genuine curiosity than anything else: how do we know that 4chan post is real? Like how do we know the buy actually had any insider information, and wasn't just making shit up? Or the less likely possibility, that he was saying the opposite of reality to lull people into a sense of security?
Didn't the semi-recent hack reveal that the mods were controlled, and something something Israeli IPs? In that kind of an environment, what exactly is it that make people trust this particular post?
