You mean, slang that otherwise means an older person? Unc doesn't mean you're fucking elderly like geezer and that character looks like they're pretty young and trendy
>>
gimme a screenshot of some game, either the actual one from OP or any really, of the characters saying おじさん/おっさん/whatever so I can see what AI would do with it.

unc is an apt translation for おじさん

What makes it really agregious is that they clearly used 'UNC' because of it's recent internet resurgence. Unless, I'm mistaken, Daybreak 1 and 2 did not call him this, even though it would've been understood and said as a slang by youths. It's not some streamer slang.

It's creates a disconnect from their own translation, a major problem, but the main issue shows that they have no definite standard of localization, and instead alter it based on current popular slang and terminology. Abysmal localization direction.

ossan to unc is a surprisingly newly-possible highly literal translation, but not a very good one

"Ojisan" (Translator's Note: Ojisan means middle-aged man)

Short for uncle, used as short hand for 'old man', 'grandpa', etc.Arguably even a replacement for boomer.

Translators note:
In America blacks refer to older males as uncle or "unc” for short, due to the fact 70% of black children are raised in single mother households .

It's par for the course nowadays for literal vandals to be mistakenly hired to localize (not translate, there's a difference) content. The point of localization is to make it understandable for other audiences when a translation can't be literal, such as regional in-jokes or something that literally nobody would understand if they did not live in the location the joke, phrase, or idiom is from. Of course, the people who are hired to localize can't even do that right, so they just look up the hip new terms and phrases from Reddit or Blusky to use as filler. All it takes is to cut out the localizers entirely and have the translators' direct translations be used, and either the game's instruction manual (pfft hahaha) or credits have translation notes to explain small things that might've seemed weird. This would encourage replayability as well, since you'd learn why a phrase was used.

In real life, you could come across some old people who use a phrase you're not used to. Let's say the phrase is "Catching a cow by it's udder". What the fuck does that mean? To the player, it'd just sound like comparing something to a cow, and it wouldn't make sense. Later, when they find out that (for this example), the meaning was "catching a thief when he has too much evidence on him". In the context of whatever game this would be from, it'd be a big hint that someone nearby who got a bit too lucky was the perpetrator, or at least someone who can be used as a guide to the real criminal. Sure, this isn't a perfect solution, but we don't need sus uncs cappin frfr in the hood, you know? ...I hate myself for typing that.

Shes using the same slang girls use when telling their rates when they do 'dates' usually its like "hey just so ya know old man touching my tits cost extra"
Are western JKs really selling themselves and using those retarded new terms as well? If so then its an inappropriate localization.
But to me it reads as if they explicitly got rid of those 'slutty bimbo making guidelines clear' undertone as much as they can so it doesnt come off as ""possibly sexual""
