To really understand the issue I feel like you need some training in writing, editing, and translating a foreign language, and almost nobody complaining online has experience in all 3. So it ends up being like everything on the Internet, people complaining w no frame of reference.
Classic leftist argument tactic. Trying to make anything and everything into an expert field and propping up "experts" that agree with them while silencing those that don't.
As someone who is a professional translator, the people complaining about retarded woke localizers in anime and video games are right way more often than not. And not having specific training in creative writing doesn't invalidate that assessment. It's almost always as simple as actually understanding Japanese enough to notice that the original doesn't match up with the localized version. No experience in other fields needed.
Leftists love defering to authority/experts, because if you have to deal with informed individuals, leftists lose. If you can create expert culture, and narrow a space down to a few experts, those props can be coerced, silenced, or canceled.
Fucking lol

Yeah any retard can use a free translator online to see what the localization peeps changed from the original. No expertise needed.
