Yeah, some people get really autistic about it. But it's supreme disingenuous bullshit to point to a few autists and say, "see, these people are ridiculous, so localization is good, accchtually."
Both can be true; weirdos can get bent out of shape over innocuous stuff...and large swathes of modern localization can be cancerous alphabet rot.
Define "innocuous". Because it varies person to person greatly.
Modern anime translating "I don't hate [thing]" to "I love [thing]", to me, damages the character's character. They switch from being in a negative statement to a positive one, even if the meaning itself is more or less similar, but plenty of people would say "oh, that's innocuous, a girl saying she likes a guy, or saying she doesn't hate him, 100% the same thing! You're jousting at windmills!"

Of course it's disingenuous, lying is their lifeblood, if they had any other merits they wouldn't be such scum.
