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

Tell me about it

@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 @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)
