As someone who is a Japanese to English translator I could rant about this endlessly. The average translator of Japanese media is pretty much a radical communist. The only thing on the top section of this that even makes sense and holds any water is part of Steiner's section. Indeed, the vast majority of translators don't hate the works. But the conclusions that he reaches are retarded. Just cause most dont hate them, doesn't mean they don't strive to change them "for the greater good."
Funny to see so many familiar names in this meme though. I've known herkz to be a certified lunatic for about a decade at this point.
While I dont think most of them inject bullshit out of hatred of the original works, the fact remains they live in a fabricated reality lala land that radicalizes them to feel the need to inject their shitty ideologies into translations where they have no business being.
The correct answer will always be to learn Japanese in order to make the influence of these people on your life literally zero.
