Infamous "translator"/"localizer" Katrina Leonoudakis has just gotten a new job as a localization director at a "major video game company" and is moving to Tokyo.
>>720962931
Hopefully it's some garbage AAA company so we never get to see her garbage translation again.To think she came up with BIG BRUDDER and thought it was good, fucking lunatic
>>720962931went from segay to crapcom kek
That poor company It's fucking square enix isn't it
Demoralization thread, what news headline am I being distracted from?
She'll end up influencing the games themselves. That's terrible news.Oh well, life is getting worse in multiple ways.
>>720962931political partisans shouldn't be allowed to touch localization
I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TWITTER SHIT>GO BACKI DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TWITTER SHIT>GO BACKI DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TWITTER SHIT>GO BACKI DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TWITTER SHIT>GO BACKI DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TWITTER SHIT>GO BACKI DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TWITTER SHIT>GO BACKI DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT TWITTER SHIT>GO BACK
>>720963040Before anyone asks why localizers are like this, it's because the quality translators are working in law and business, not video games and anime.
>>720963116this is bluesky actually
China won
>>720963142Put a shotgun in your mouth and pull the trigger with your toes
>>720963176Do it yourself, pussy.
>>720962931>/v/ complains about localizers when they actually have jobs and make a meaningful difference in the worldMaybe /v/ should stop listening to grifters who want people to be constantly angry.
>>720963176Woah now this is 4chan we do NOT condone or laugh at the idea of people being murdered.
>>720962931time to report
hope its atlus because you deserve her. and everything else will be safe
>>720962982maybe if they bred more often it wouldn't be an issue LMAO
>>720963291Yeah anon I'm sure translating games/anime for minimum wage badly just because you are mad because of being paid minimum wage is a meaningful difference in the world...
>>720962931It would be so fucking funny if square enix fired kate cwynar just to get this cunt to replace her
>>720963370>faglus>major video game companylol
>>720962982they're gonna wish it's a white country when those jeets they signed in start pouring in
>>720962931My brother's uncle's mom's sister's plumber's dog said that Katrina celebrated Kirk's death, would be a shame if her new employer found out about it
>>720962982I'm sorry your women aren't into your lil'shrimp.
>>720963054They are probably on break or changing shifts/threads
>>720962931WHITTU PIGGU GO HOME
>>720962982Based japan. wish they'd do this in the UK too, fuck foreigners
>>720964258What, complain about them while they just keep getting imported?
>>720963141it's because all the good translators do it for free :)
white women should be banned from entering japan as they are an invasive species.
>>720962931The moment you start following the lives of people like this religiously is the moment you should take a step back from the internet and get some irl friends. I'm pretty sure whoever this is work fucking sucks but Jesus theres more to life than this
The "muh AI will kill localizers" was obviously a Trojan Horse. Katrina herself said that most of the localizers don't speak a lick of Japanese and the MTL tech only covers the first step of translation, the one that localizers don't do.
>>720962931You're overstepping you schizo faggot.
>>720963116>I don't care about video gameswe know, kill yourself, thanks
>>720964456>theres more to life than thisI'd post that image of the troon bragging about destroying gamers' hobbies if I bothered to save it.
>>720963657Kek
>>720962979>>720963040This really the best you got? I don't give a fuck. If anything, I'm happy your crying results in nothing and she keeps getting to do her job unimpeded.
>>720964456I just stole it from someone on Xitter. I don't actively follow her.
>>720963657She's clearly trying to get inside before people can warn the company about her. Why else would she be that vague about the company?
>>720964573Fuck off touristWe used to shit on people posting stuff from Reddit and Twitter. Now they're the majority
>>720963074>influencing the games themselvesThey already do
>>720962931So why can't any of you fags do this? Why don't you actually occupy positions of importance instead of whining on 4cuck?
>>720963657Anon nobody outside the states gives a shit about that, it's only americans sperging out.
>>720965056I'm not a woman with dick sucking skills.
>>720964689https://youtu.be/2bEZQ00OOxY?si=Mw50N8moh2HJziLp
>>720965056Because the localisation industry is built on Cronyism, not skill.
>>720965056Same reason why chuds don't make games anyone cares about.All they know how to do is bitch.
>>720965056BECAUSE COLLEGE IS A SCAM EXCEPT FOR STEM!!!IF YOU KNOW PROGRAMMING THAT AUTOMATICALLY MEANS YOU KNOW EVERY OTHER SUBJECT THEIR IS!!!!NO, I STILL DON'T HAVE A JOB YET AFTER THEY MOVED ALL THE JOBS TO INDIA!!!!!
>>720964689troon spotted
>>720965056Anti-woke grifters just want their audience to be outraged. They don't encourage them to actually solve the "problem" they complain about.
>>720964986>touristwow you are cool and fit in>fuuuuuuuuuuuuujuam i right?
>>720962982It's so fucking funny seeing Japs crying about whites and say nothing about browns
>>720965395asian women date the whites; they run away from browns
>>720964986>wefuck off newfag retardKatrina hate is older than you are
>>720965275It's a symbiosis. All of these people know that they can't do jackshit about it and they would be angry if the grifters actually told them to fix shit. All they want to do is send angry comments telling actual developers to cater to them.
>>720965451Reddit hate is older than that
>>720965395Historically, they've been raped by whites and not by browns. Their stance will change very, very quickly.
>>720965479Reddit is also older than you, fuckwit
>Wanting people to translate things properly instead of making shit up is a political stance
>>720962931God help us all
I don't know who that is but they're going to ruin a lot more games
>>720962931Probably going to be "improving" the next Dragon Quest game.
>>720965547Sure thing faggot
I'm more sick of japanese compabies being willfully ignorant and hiring these people to cuck their games. How dumb can you be?
>>720963141This is going to make me seem fucking retarded but I've LITERALLY never thought of it like that.
>>720965143>Anon nobody outside the states gives a shit about thatEhh, you'd be surprised, it's been making the rounds in Japan and Korea.I found it funny when Youjo Senki's author had to remind people that no, he is not a commie or a fascist, he is actually just a free market center-right liberal who believes in freedom of speech and dislikes politically-motivated violence.
>>720962931It's a mistranslation. She was offered a chance to go and commit seppuku to atone for her offences
>>720962931This is what happens when you don't rape and kill bitches
>>720963171Yea, it made a bunch of americans buy a game from the premise alone it's chinese. What's the loss of a few wars when you can enslave the enemy in the future?
>>720963171At this point I'm kinda warming up to China more and more.The west has collectively gone batshit and it's infected Japan to the point where it may end up being terminal, so who knows what shit will look like in 5 years.
>>720965056Yeah it's a real mystery why there aren't more open chuds in an industry where a fucking CEO has to step down because he espoused mild pro life views. It... its just because chuds aren't creative!
>>720965784>How dumb can you be?I don't think civilization would be possible if the default assumption for any interaction was that the other party is a malicious incompetent and also unbelievably evil or insane.>>720965968Seppuku is for Japanese people only, or at least spiritually Japanese.She at best could get a modelling gig in a documentary about the perils of letting live eels enter your anal cavity.
>>720965891>I too am a libertarian fellow enlightened thinkers
>>720963141Makes sense I guess but still seems weird to spend years learning Japanese when you hate Japanese people and media and especially foreigners who consume Japanese media
>>720962931Who hired her? The sooner I know which games to ignore the better.Probably Capcom judging by their policies, and that would be the best scenario. Keep them contained.
>>720966210Who said anything about being a chud? How about just translate with no political biases? Isn't that what is wanted?
>>720964689Calm your tits, Katrina.
>>720966325I'm having a hard time thinking of any AAA jap dev that can get any worse. She'll blend in and you won't even notice what she ruins
>>720965395You are not allowed to complain about browns in american occupied territories.
>>720966210lol cope
>>720962931Sanseitō can't get premiership soon enough
>>720964456>theres moreThere are more of them plaguing every single game
>>720962931I learned Japanese 20 years ago, I dont give a shit.
>It's another "500 reply thread about muh trannylators" because /v/ has a dedicated zealous community that really gives a shit about this but is completely impotent to do anything about it.
>>720966361If you're just talking JP to EN localization, it's mostly a small incestuous clique nobody gets into unless you know some of the people currently doing it. You aren't going to pull yourself up by the bootstraps into translating major projects.
Remotely sane people don't dedicate their lives to trying to ruin something so it makes sense there would be even fewer doing the opposite
>>720966509Lol tranny
>>720966289>learning Most lolcalizers have 0 knowledge in japanese, they just copypaste the script into a translator and (((correct))) it
>>720966572We're getting closer and closer to them taking over Japan.
>>720962931Oh ho ho ho no. She's fucking in for a shock.
>>720962931Unironically how do these people get employment? Is there some kind of cabal that just makes sure these people never fail and rewards them endlessly?
>>720962979>tranny :(>tranny, japan :D>NOOOO! you just dont understand cross dressing is totally different in japan like there is a deep culture and history and its totally normal to pretend youre a woman, in japan
>>720962931Did SE fire Kate and replace one retarded leftist harpy troonslater with a slightly less insane but far less competent retarded leftist harpy troonslater?
>>720963141Kind of like how only the shittiest of programmers/software developers go into video game development
>>720962982catholic chads ww@
just learn god's language and play the games in japanese
Can 4chan with the power of AI scan the OP image and give insta ban if it's a screenshot of tweet
>>720967109The problem in SE is that the Japanese staff have been infected with the woke. And they're actively pushing for all the localization changes. Some of the third parties they hire to do the localization actually try to scale them back. But the HQ in Japan get mad and demand more changes. This comes directly from the team that localized Dragon Quest VI/VII.But they also have Sony employees and western woke consultants overseeing them in SE of Japan.
Sanseito is coming
>>720963054Trust zhe Plan
>>720967085The companies in Japan probably just ask their global HQ in California to send someone, so the recruiters just give the jobs to their friends
>>720965784>>720966252I think that a not insignificant reason is that going through the bullshit is part of distribution in the West. This is especially relevant as a lot of Nip CEOs are blackpilled on their birth rates and think that they need to have a strong overseas presence to keep their businesses afloat.If you want your anime to be widely successful on a global release, for instance, you need to go through a platform like Crunchyroll or Netflix, and if part of the discussion that Crunchyroll has is that they have an in-house person do localization (they might even have it just be considered QA) then you kind of don't have many other options since as far as getting subs go, they're so big that they are largely a monopoly. Even if you get your anime through Nyaa most of them use the CR subs anyway.>>720967085A huge portion of the Western anime industry is populated by cliques who specifically aim to hire likeminded people, yes. Look at Funimation.
>>720966289Why not? They >get to ruin what they hate >get paid while they're at it
>>72096579690% of things have a simple explanation, usually incompetency, not some grand conspiracy
>>720965056I'm not a tranny.
>>720967085>Unironically how do these people get employment?Nepotism.
>>720962931The localization scene strangely is one of those places where you fail upward. Strangely enough. I've only seen that for CEOs and big wigs in Hollywood. Very odd considering how low the pay is.
>>720967248they're changing things at the root so this is not possible any longer
>>720963020Either that or Sony. On the plus side that >>720964456Fuck no. Her track record of fucking up games is so perfect that knowing what she's on so I can spend money elsewhere is more than justified.
>>720967248>just learn god's languagelook at what happened to FFXIV.
>>720967708The pay is peanuts and the managers are huge ideologues who want to hire fellow ideologues. The fuck ups are what they're being paid for, very intentionally.Do not assume incompetency when the actors themselves tell you they are malicious.
>>720967597>DEI is being pushed because of uhhh INCOMPETENCE yeah>pay no mind to investors being perfectly fine with wasting billions on doa projects as long as they can pander a nonexistent "modern audience"
>>720965056>So why can't any of you fags do this?I have a better paying job and prefer to>do it for freein my spare time on projects I actually care about.
>>720967597It's not a conspiracy, Larry Fink is quite open about what he does and why he does it.
am I supposed to have sympathy for you faggot weebs? how about you stop playing japshit?
>>720967174Entertainment media has the lowest "good enough, ship it" threshold, so translators in those fields get paid like ass.
>>720967708It's not just them. It also happens in politics, literature, government and pretty much everything in western society these days. It's because the person at the top only hires people more incompetent than them, making sure they don't get replaced. And then those people get "promoted" to jobs that are still below the managers. Unless they cancel the manager and take their job.This is also the same system the nassies and soviets had.
lolcowlizers are having their daily meltdown
>>720962931quick, see if she's said anything that's worth getting fired. and why is it always women getting the localization job?
>>720965056I work from home like 3 hours a day max, gonna be a manager soon as well and am already making six figures. My life is fine in that regard. Would rather be a solo indie dev but that’s just a hobby until my game actually comes out.
uh oh troons itt are scaredi know you don't want us here but we could just leave at anytime, you knowso could you
>>720967991nothing is expected of you, you don't matter
>>720967109There's no way they're firing Kate, she literally has SE in her pocket, but maybe they want someone else to be the face of the localization team after the backlash to give her a breath
>>720963526>haha le funnywhy would I trust this retard to know the difference? do you trust her?
>>720966926It is surprising how many basic mistakes slip through.
>>720967095This but unironically
>>720962931Lol I'm glad I'm not white so I don't have to read trannylations
>>720967919mr goldberg isn't visiting every shithole office to make sure the cartoon character is saying amogus
>>720968219wow ok
>>720965395White people who move to and starts living in Japan are literal fucking niggers and deserve to be thrown out together with any other brown shitskin.
>>720965056And work with a bunch of leftists? No game is worth that
>>720968075Black and trans men dropped down the woke totem pole. Women (especially lesbians) are back on top this month. Next month is anyone's guess.
>>720968593>Next month is anyone's guess.october is ableism monththe focus will be on black people who cant walk because of the patriarchy
>>720965056The same way we can't get good writing in Hollywood anymore. There's hundreds of thousands of people trying to get in. But they only hire the same small group within their bubble. It's actually worse with localizers. You need to be a vetted shill for SAG-AFTRA and be willing to be treated like shit by SAG-AFTRA at the same time. Basically those few people who kept defending SAG during the last two strikes, but didn't get accepted by SAG for acting jobs, were given the localization/dubbing scraps jobs. And if they make so much as a peep in complaint, they're blacklisted.
Alright /v/ I'm a newby localizer so I might as well ask, how should I deal with this harpy when I evenetually bump into her?I don't share her retarded views but video game localization is a somewhat small group of people and I think she'll be a nuance when I try moving up the ranks.
>>720962931Not my problem.I'm into chinese and korean games now.
