Can relate

Fuck off. This isn't funny.

Bro

It's a translation so translate it

Serves you right

Just fuck you, go fuck yourself with this fucking bullshit

Thank God

Ok that's funny

He doesn't fucking stop

Meme references aren't funny

It wasn't funny the first time

It wasn't funny the first time

@matrix the shit people write, draw and read...

@matrix Todd ran out of consoles to re-release Skyrim on, now he's forced to port it to loli manga

@matrix > skyrim

@matrix
Sometimes I appreciate when the translator leaves in some of the weeb for us. Lately I've found a lot of anime missing their -chan or -san in the subs, and it's annoying me to no end.

@alyx
I'm annoyed too when they are missing, but -chan and -san aren't just weeb memes, they are honorifics that don't have an alternative in the English language.

@alyx @matrix Vanitas no Karte had fucking "monsieur" for -sama. In the official sub. Then when one character really did say "monsieur" in the final episodes, they simply left it untrunslated. I'm watching anime, not a french cartoon, use anime slang and don't assume otaku will know or care about french.

And all the translator notes legit helped me learn a good bit of japanese. In my translations, I tend to do one tl per episode just because it's cool and doesn't hurt anybody to know a little more. Translating "onii-chan" is very cringe

@Spaghettimon @alyx

@matrix @alyx Step-family is incest for the cowards. It's so idiotic to try and defend your taste as "well, it's not acktualhy incest". They're aking to ironic lolicons

@matrix They released Skyrim again?

@matrix
>I'm not a lolicon but a loli is fine too
I get that the TL guy wanted to make that reference, but honestly that's just shitty wording and there's no way around that t. autist

@moth_ball
That's a reference too?

@matrix @moth_ball

@pleb
God dammit. This manga/translation...
@moth_ball

@matrix @pleb
Tell me about it
>hurrdurr it's a comedy mango/hentai so I can replace all the jokes
E N O U G H

@moth_ball @matrix all according to plan*
plan means keikaku

@moth_ball @matrix @pleb localization™

@dwaltiz @matrix @pleb There is a place for changing things to convey the same meaning for another language but especially with knowledge about weebisms becoming more commonplace it's a fine art.

There's a whole another place in hell for people who want everything to be translated literally no matter how clunky phrasing it becomes in English.

@moth_ball @matrix @dwaltiz and then there's the jokester who admitted to treating this series more like a rewrite than an actual translation.

@pleb @dwaltiz @matrix when you can't produce quality by yourself, you gotta shit on other people's work

@moth_ball @dwaltiz @matrix @pleb

At a certain point, you have to step back and realize you are being righteously indignant about the faithful translation of cartoon porn about kids fucking each other.

@Senpai-kun @dwaltiz @matrix @pleb
No matter the subject, it's still devaluing the original product and i won't stop being upset about that just because most people can't respect niche aspects of culture. And not even that niche either.

@moth_ball @dwaltiz @matrix @pleb

That's a great high minded principle but this is a cartoon about kids fucking each other. The only potential value it ever had was to be openly mocked.

@Senpai-kun @moth_ball @dwaltiz @matrix @pleb Have we considered that maybe this actually is an accurate translation and the Japanese dialogue was 100% memes too?

@galena @Senpai-kun @dwaltiz @matrix @pleb
I'll believe it when I see it

@galena @Senpai-kun @moth_ball time to dig up the raw scans in search of references to 2ch memes

@dwaltiz @galena @moth_ball

Problem: "You are lacking the necessary knowledge to answer a question."

Normal well-adjusted person: "Oh, well I've got a friend who can tell me more about that, let me call them up."

Weeb: "I must delve alone into the archives."

@galena
I considered it and that's why I said "manga/translation" however I have no way of verifying it.
@Senpai-kun @dwaltiz @pleb @moth_ball

@Senpai-kun @matrix @pleb @dwaltiz @moth_ball Artistic principles don't care about prestige, but in doing good art

@moth_ball @matrix @pleb @dwaltiz As a translator, I agree that is a fine art that honestly seems to be getting lost, with most people going full literal or full localization (looking at you, official subs)

@matrix @moth_ball "a cat is fine too"

@moth_ball @matrix the entire translation is shitty wording, even when he’s not trying to make references, probably a bad case of esl.

@federal_bureau_of_the_interwebz @matrix
I hate shitty fan translators so much it's unreal
