You just pulled some "both sides BS" and used a worse example to justify the current thing not being so bad.
Maybe you should actually consider what your words are saying rather than just spitting out nonsense and assuming everyone will understand and agree with you.
There IS bad faith arguments. That recent NicheGamer article on the opening segment of Infinite Wealth? Bad faith. I hate this shit as much as any of you, but that article hurt our position, making us look way too obsessed with unofficial rough translations. Pick your fucking battles, because loose cannons lose support.
The only bad faith arguments are ones which disregard the truth. The reason GG was able to make progress at all was because a group of autists refused to compromise on their principles.
pick your battles
Oh, you're one of those "muh PR" people. It seems you're upset that people are choosing "hills to die on" that you don't see value in.
Here's the reality: Censorship is inevitably a slippery slope. Something that looks small will become big in the future. That's how we ended up in such a shit situation to begin with.
There will always be opposition and people who sneer at anything which goes against the status quo, but we wouldn't even be having this conversation to begin with if autists didn't care about what was actually being translated or not.
I also took a look at that NicheGamer article and I don't see any issues with it (unless I'm missing something). The translators literally added in feminist terms and turns of phrase where there weren't any. Sega and Atlus are not in a position of good faith where something like that can be called an honest mistake.
These are not 'rough translations' people are talking about, stop letting the NPCs manipulate you with a false narrative. This is like when this stupid woman went around New York in an area she knew she'd get cat called depending on how she dressed they are pulling the exact same shit. Then you look at it and realise what they did and how manipulative it all is.
