The Shitty Localizers List >a thread for documenting a list of localizers who alter, or insert personal things (memes, political takes, etc.) that did not belong to the original source in their works with the intention of ruining/half-assing it (varishangout.com)

Super Robot Wars 30 also suffered from this where they made fun of am androgynous femboy, which is standard stuff for the Japs. But it got butchered into a discussion about pronouns and shit here. It's fucking awful. Luckily fans released a patch for the steam version to restore the original dialogue. But it's still unacceptable for localization to do anything but translate as close to the original as possible, your personal feelings don't fucking matter.

released a patch for the steam version

I'm not exactly sure how it worked with this one, but it sounds like the devs are still getting money, so there's no incentive to change localizers. I support fan patches for the import versions. Otherwise pirate.
