DeJap's Phantasia translation is infamous for being extremely loose and inaccurate. It was made in a completely different world from today without any intention to censor or niggify. In other words: it has soul even though it's flawed.

This idea that if you just had a few more people complaining about troonlation then everything would change is pure delusion. As an individual, all you can do is ignore companies that pre-censor and beg westerners to fuck their shit up.

The reality is that you're just lazy, and expect the world to bend over backwards for you. Years of complaints about Crunchyroll, have anime translations returned to the heyday of fansubs? Lol, lmao. Manga, surely that's improved, right? There's no way most of those haven't switched over to MTL gibberish to make a few bucks on patreon off dumb kids who need the latest one piece ASAP, right?

The sad thing is, game work has always been shit. The two categories I just mentioned were briefly "okay", before there was big money involved.

That's why it needs to be used as an editing tool.
Just do exactly what that screenshot does and during the editing and cleanup phase, have a 3rd party ask the AI
>"is this accurate"
>"has this been censored or changed in a bad way that is dishonest to the original message"
Then, you make whatever edits you need to based on what it tells you, and better yet, make a log of every single time the original translator made shit up and send it to their boss so they can be written up and/or terminated and replaced with somebody who won't pull shit like that.

I still don't know why you're trying to have an autistic fit over the grammatical construction of the sentence itself, but refusing to admit that the Japanese text does directly state "marriage is the greatest happiness for a woman" and not the fanfiction in the official English TL.

MTL is very good nowadays. It's biggest weakness is that it really struggles with assigning genders to the pronouns ironically simply because of the differences between JP and ENG.

You're delusional if you really believe this. These troon schizos will never give up their power freely. They will try everything to cling to it.

Akamatsu has been bringing this shit up in the Diet for years. There's no law yet, but METI proposed "Five Principles of Entertainment and Creative Industry Policy", one of which is "No interference within the content of creative works", and Western influence is specifically named.
Many entities seem to be on board with following this; Square Enix purged their Western division after these guidelines were released.
Again, these are not laws, but they are the kind of thing a company will want to toe the line with, lest they be met with scrutiny by the Diet.

>Born 1994

That is a 30+ year old speaking and acting like a teenager.
A lot of this is regressive behaviour of their part for how they perceive they were bullied and maligned in High School, this is a way for them to try and claw back some control over that period of their life through mental regression.
Peel away the thin veneer of the life on display and you'll find low self-esteem and an unhappy life, deeply unhappy.
This type of person is dangerous and wants to take out their frustrations in a malicious way.

You fucking retard, that has absolutely nothing to do with western involvement or localisation in any regard. METI is about government investment programmes.
Try actually reading shit instead of getting all your news from Twitter reposts.

Here's another retard that didn't actual read the actual guidelines. The "no interference" part is on the government's part with projects they're supporting and there's no mention of "Western interference", if anything the program seeks to expand Japanese works internationally
>>
>>729436263
>>No interference within the content of creative works
Yes. From the government. It's about METI not demanding changes to works as a stipulation for providing grants to the recipients. It has absolutely nothing to do with localisation or interference coming from other factors, you fucking moron.

I don't know what this tranny shit is intended to accomplish, as if trying to gaslight people here will undo reality or something but the actual text states that government funds will not come with strings attached ESPECIALLY RELEVANT where international distributors or platforms (Western streaming services or console makers) have demanded modifications to align with local sensitivities, such as toning down violence, sexual content, or cultural references
Seethe all you want, you and your ilk are on the way out.

It's because people don't actually care if a translation is accurate or not, and they never have.
It has always been performative.

He's completely right. The alternative is having a character suddenly flip out when someone calls them "you" because that's rude as if that somehow makes even the slightest amount of sense in English.

All they did was delete that section from their website, no one actually knows if it still exists or not (my bet is that it does and they just deleted that part because of bad PR)
