@nozaki I’m reading Fairy Tail currently and barely more than a decade ago they were leaving the attack names in Japanese with a footnote for the English name, and there’s pages of tl notes every volume. Fundamentally different translation industry philosophy than today, where the goal is to try to trick the reader into thinking they are reading something that was originally written by an American.

I’m watching Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle with the dub (funimation) and sub side by side looking for localization antics. It’s nothing surprising if you are familiar with funi, characters are all a little bit meaner, jokes are worse in the dub, etc. the big thing that jumped out is they really don’t like it when the original talks about her pretty white skin, the dub doesn’t even just change it to “fair” or something to avoid directly saying white skin is pretty, they change it to “smooth” or otherwise talk about the texture only. But this is also not even close to the first time I’ve seen this, “pretty white skin” is right up there with “now I can never be a bride!” as the top lines that don’t get translated into English by localizers anymore.

@Shadowman311 Historical circumstances have been such that Kurds have never had the opportunity to commit evil on the same geopolitical scale as Turks, but mark my words their capacity for evil is at least as great. Making Kurdistan real is as insane a prospect as making a state for the Hmong. They are CIA stooges at best, psychotic demon worshippers at worst.
