Why did Earthbound inspire so much faggotry? -

You boys owe it to yourselves to read Nausicaa. It goes almost without saying that Miyazaki’s art and characters are of the very highest quality, but the plot and themes will very much resonate with all of us here. It goes well beyond the good but limited environmentalist message of the film, the guy who recommended it to me called it “eco-fascist” but I think it transcends meme ideologies and will speak deeply to any right minded person. I would easily call this Miyazaki’s finest work, including his films, and one of the best books, not just of manga or comics, of all fiction, that I’ve ever read. -

@KonataWagner 7 volumes, so it’s something you can read in a day or two. i have a hardcover version that’s a box set of the whole thing in two almost comically oversized books, but it looks like it’s out of print, and I’m not sure if any version is currently in print. But you can read just about anything on mangadex, I’d expect this has to have a pretty good fan translation. -

@RehnSturm256 @fluffy Nah I don’t really care about Pokémon I just happened to be in the room when my wife watched this trailer. I haven’t cared since the gba really, other than appreciating Japanese artists drawing the girls. So I’m really curious to see what they do with these things, if they can work their magic and make them into hot girls, or if they even bother. -

@fluffy @RehnSturm256 Other than this one who really looks like a tranny the rest of the women in the game give off that “woman who calls herself non-binary” vibe. Or at least the vibe of what girls like that wished they looked like since most of them in real life are landwhales -

@WashedOutGundamPilot I may be too optimistic but I truly believe that the people are not really eating ass. It’s a zoomer meme and zoomers are an infamously sexless generation, so statistically it’s got to be mostly hot air regardless, but for the rare zoomer who gets an opportunity to have sex, fall for the meme, and get right up to the point where they’ve got an anus in their face, I think they all say “wait a minute this isn’t like hentai this isn’t like the memes it’s not a pheromone producing part of the body im not smelling girl scent I’m smelling shit and ‘eating ass’ just means consuming feces, I don’t actually want to literally eat poop, I should just have sex with sex organs” -

@merchantHelios Do you feel like trannies will start to lose in your lifetime or is this a “someday” thing? -

@berkberkman Yes it’s not that I think all but Japanese women are racially incapable of doing cute voices, it’s that the ones in the industry here can’t do it. -

@nozaki TL notes are pretty much only used now when a specific Japanese food, clothing, or other object is mentioned. Something like fairy tail that doesn’t take place in Japan would probably not have any TL notes today.
I don’t agree that the low quality of media translations is due to the low pay. It was a low pay job a decade ago too, but translations were better. I think the problem is that social media, particularly Twitter and discord, has shifted and continues to shift the culture of the industry in a negative direction. Basically, translators are technicians, their job is to methodically take Japanese words and render them in English. Since the two languages are very different, they have to sometimes make judgement calls, which one could misconstrue as a creative act, therefore every translator has this temptation to see themselves as an artist instead of someone who works systematically. Industry standards used to keep these inclinations in check, often in contrast with fan translations where you would see the creative urge running rampant with TLs that said “fuck” constantly or would make family guy references or whatever. It’s changed now that all the translators are on Twitter fanning each other’s balls about how great they are when they artistically translate, and the reaction from normal people against this fuels it further, especially because it fits into the wider culture war with trannies libtards and other psychotics on the creative translation side and normal people on the authentic translation side, so you get this cycle playing out in the heads of every translator and in their conversations on Twitter and their discord servers:
“I want to be creative with my translations” -> “the people I already hate are mad about this” -> “I want to be even more creative with my translations”
The industries then start to slowly shift to the new standard being pushed by the translators against the will of normal people because even if they may have some principles about authenticity, editors and other staff members are still libtards and usually women and consequently they really really don’t like pushing back against consensus. Gamergate caused a purge of right wing and normal people from the entire gaming industry, including translation departments, so it went to shit very very quickly, a similar thing happened with most anime translators, but manga seems to be transitioning more slowly, still definitively happening but rather than any big purges it’s the natural process of older editors and other company men retiring or leaving naturally only to be replaced by people who are always more dedicated ideologues who agree with their translators. -

@berkberkman That comes with the territory. There do exist dubs that are serviceable or even good if the female characters are all older teens or women, but any younger than that, forget about it. American actresses can’t even pretend to be that kind of cute. It’s physically impossible, the sin miasma that accumulates from being performatively woke on Twitter accumulates on their vocal chords and prevents them from projecting pure and innocent timbres.
