Ah yes. Wholesome discussion where one side wags their finger at the other side, calling them bigots, and gets them censored and fired from their jobs.
You look at the stories they say would be too dull and boring for Western audiences and it's usually "a hero gathers a group of allies and defeats a bad guy" or "a guy hangs out with his friends" or "cute girls doing things cutely" or "look at the boobs on this girl". I mean, sure, there are puns that don't translate precisely from Japanese to English or cultural references like Momotaro or Princess Kaguya that Americans aren't going to know, but you can just explain them with translator's notes or have faith that your audience of people who are seeking out Japanese media will look up references they don't understand.
Some of these people are tourists, but tbf plenty of weebs and other nerds are susceptible to going full-shitlib because they see it as their ticket to respectsbility. SJWs have done a great job of reframing selling out as "evolving" or "growing up," and while plenty of edgy people are edgy because they genuinely despise polite society in its current form (such as us), plenty of edgelords will flip the moment they're finally invited to the cocktail parties.
Troll's Remorse is a helluva drug, often times it's as simple as a guy like idubbbz getting a shitlib gf, but more generally a lot of people who grew up as the bullied outcasts will jump at the opportunity to have a seat at the cool kids' table once they're "adults."
Put more bluntly, normies don't spend their time sabotaging anime dialogue out of a petty vendetta towards anti-SJWs. Normies aren't the types to get offended at video game boobs or "sexist" jokes. Only neurotic activist types do that shit, and the most vicious bullies are losers desperate to prove that they're not losers.
Also just lots of spiteful cowards who will jump at the opportunity to unleash their rage at a target that's not allowed to fight back. They get to be like the rich kid bully whose parents are friends with the principal so anyone who defends themselves gets in trouble.
To them "Serious discussion" = fart sniffing and gaslighting about how they have done nothing wrong and localization is a noble artform.
So not sorry you're not allowed to be a crudely dishonest hack in public anymore without people heckling you the fuck off your soapbox. Go suck a dick and complain about it in private dipshit.
They really think it's their story they're telling, like they're not just a linguistic gas station attendant. Stop trying to fuck around in the driver seat and just fill up the tank asshole.
"Serious conversation" like deflecting criticism of your terrible "writing" with juvenile sexual insults. Particularly when you're a middle-aged woman and many of the people criticizing you are teenage boys. Who in turn often have more maturity than said middle-aged woman.
Or am I missing some other "serious conversation," like deliberately ruining the dialogue of someone else's work with stupid meme references. For no other reason than to "own the neckneards." Regularly gloating about how much effort they put into DUNKING on the INCELS and CHUDS by vandalising art made by someone who has zero involvement in your petty little schoolyard bitch fight, for an audience that has zero involvement with the aforementioned petty little schoolyard bitch fight.
Yes, let's hear more about how to be serious and mature from people who act like spiteful middle schoolers.
I remember GG Classic. "Politics in the Philippines", I believe was the complaint of the video game journos? How they hated doing their job and going to conferences around the world for free for their job, and were wondering why no one was discussing politics of the Philippines instead of video games at a video game convention.
The lolcalizers are the same way, they want to be anything BUT translators. That's why they're so threatened by an AI that can easily do their job, because they have a really easy gig: Run some shit through Google Translate, then arrange the words in a more easy-reading order. You could do a whole anime in less than a day, and they stretch that shit out to months of income. But instead of coasting on an easy job with easy income, they want to be of the journo caste, they want to be culture warriors.
Here's a simple solution: fire every single last pink-hair and male feminist in the industry and let peace return. You're merely firing the unprofessional elements, anyway. They should have done so from the very beginning.
"inclusive story telling"
No, just translate the damn story, we don't need tranny shit injected into our games.
Inclusive is a euphemism for intersectional.
They are pretty much confessing to shoving regressive leftist bullshit into it while censoring anything that violates woke ideology.
A "translator" is upset that people react to the very existence of localizers with hatred?
Surely there is no self interest here.

So glad I'm an unhinged autist kek

Do a flip you dishonest goblin.
People like you are the actual problem in localization, buddy.
YOU
STARTED
THE
CULTURE
WAR
YOU ARE THE CULTURE WAR FREAK
Okay, I have to ask. I know it's rhetorical around here and all, but honestly.
Why do they talk like recently unmasked scooby doo villains?

"Beyond mere translation, we're diving into the art of cultural adaptation, preserving context, and inclusive storytelling."
"mere" translation
the art of cultural adaptation
preserving context
inclusive storytelling
One of these things is not like the other...
