>character says onii chan, senpai, sensei, etc>subtitles say the character's first namethey think we're stupid
They think the people who pay for their mistranslations are stupid, and they are right.
>>289854329>mondainai ojisanbecame>no cap unc
>>289854329>good translation BADwhy are you guys like thiswe don't use those kind of honorifics in the western world, it sounds completely idiotic to use them
>>289854998that's just butchering subtext, meaning and intent to avoid alienating the lowest common denominator. how is it good? it doesn't benefit me.
There is no subtext Japs just don't use older family member's names
>林太郎君>Mr. Tarou Hayashimail bombs are the only answer
>>289855116there's plenty of implicit information regarding how characters refer to each other you disingenuous nigger.
>>289855116So there's no reason to add them.
>>289855365No there isn't. All imoutos call their big brothers onii-san/chan
>>289855426okay faggot keep defending your crunchyroll subtitles made in israel
>>289855426No you uncultured dumb nigger, some call them their names or use aniki or nii-san/chan.
>>289855365if you can't convey that in another way then you fail as a translator
>>289855881You're just a puritan racist who demands the erasure of foreign culture from foreign media.
>>289855426AnikiAniueOniiOniisanOniisamaOniichanOniihyanNiisan (you get the pattern)Niinii[name]nii
>>289856606>NiiniiI remember the subs for nu-Higurashi translating nii nii as big brudder. God that shit was terrible.
>>289854626thats accurate.
>>289854998I probably agree. They tried it with "bro" in the Alya anime iirc and it was kinda retarded. They did it in the 90s german dubs and older subs by using "Brüderchen" for "onii-chan" but nobody really says "Brüderchen" nowdays and it was even in the 90s outdated..
the one that really fucking makes me rage is when they turn onee-chan into "sissy"
>>289854329>they think we're stupidYou are.
>>289857907Onee-sama into "big sis" enrages me more, even "dear sister" would be more optimal.
>>289854998No one bat an eye when some translator use monsieur, madame, mademoiselle, frau, senor, senorita, or anything such in english literature or conversation.But the moment someone read a single word "-san" in some foreign niche media, they will accuse you for butchering english language and demand you to stop working as translator forever.
>>289860990Source?
>>289854329They're just racists with an inferiority complex.
>>289861066the mind of someone too retarded to stop making these threads and learn japanese
>>289861164>They're just racistsUhh... based?
>>289861177Hate to tell you that they're not the based racists that beat niggers up on the street, but they are soccer mom racists who will lash out like a karen and will accuse you cheating for being an asian.
>>289855365actions speak louder than words. If a character regularly refers and respects an older one do you honestly get confused if you don't hear the word senpai?
>The way a character refers to the character (senpai, onii) is LITERALLY the core of their characterization in some way that only makes sense near the end of the story, and not translating it causes the entire story to unravel and stop making sense, because it turns out it was actually super important all along>Translator STILL refuses to translate it properlyI can't even count on two hands how many times I've seen it happen lately
>>289862065Us racists need to stick together in these trying times
