If you've encountered discourse on localization within certain circles, you may have seen @iuntue. He's an active figure in these circles. Most evidence can be credited to him. But something about him is suspicious. Here is the tweet in question. https://twitter.com/iuntue/status/1782585035473985577 I couldn't help but ponder whether the uproar sparked by this tweet is, in fact, orchestrated. A lot of the outrage comes from youtubers and streamers, whose opinions are easily influenced by money. From the looks of things, it appears to be a smear campaign with the goal of smearing anti-localizers as extremists. Even the "based centrists" are going around accusing these demographics of being racist nazi bigots. And this is not the first time a post of his got dogpiled. https://twitter.com/iuntue/status/1730545337335468298
So I decided to take a deep dive into @iuntue as a person.
Let's take a look at his thoughts on Xenoblade 3. https://twitter.com/puppetrevival/status/1783038772440870958 These feel incoherent. It feels like he's putting together random things that a lefty thinks how a chud views video games. An "adult cast" is a bad thing? Sounds like. Regardless of how you may feel about lolicon as a whole, this to me isn't something a lolicon would take issue with, much less even notice. Typically, lolicons argue that the age of a character doesn't matter in the context of fiction. So why does he complain about Xenoblade 3 featuring an adult cast? Here's a similar post on a Ace Attorney character: https://twitter.com/iuntue/status/1752855588696891466 Really comes off as someone trying to larp as a lolicon without knowing what a lolicon believes.
The attacks didn't start until this user replied with the following: https://twitter.com/HenriqueJos12/status/1782585892290355575 A Spanish account with a low follower account. A literal who like this would normally be ignored, but the quotes say otherwise. The fact Twitter takes issue with this one user's reply in particular leads me to believe the outrage is heavily coordinated.
@iuntue's tweets read awkwardly. Very unnatural. I can't describe it, but https://twitter.com/iuntue/status/1783295336313655748 https://twitter.com/iuntue/status/1780040661078548674 Now compare to another anti-localizer's tweets, who sounds more natural. https://twitter.com/Scratch_Point_Z/status/1783141346041299284
Not long before the outrage, he posted this. An attempt to lump in WWII skepticism with localization discourse? Strangely he chooses to censor "Jew". https://twitter.com/iuntue/status/1781901984691323320
At best, @iuntue is just a sperg. At worst, they're a bad actor trying to poison the waters. I recognize that I may be wrong, but I just wanted to share my concerns.
Because he thinks having a sheboon as the main character in JRPG is sus, and then a bunch of liberals on Twitter are quote-tweeting and attacking him? How does that make him a fed?
I mean, in the same post, he also attacks the game for its localization, and for adding tranny, nigger, and interacial relationships, whereas in Xenoblade 2, there was none of that.
lmao, you know Scratch Point also got attacked by the same type of people in the same thread, right? https://twitter.com/Scratch_Point_Z/status/1782588160976748968 Do you think Scratch Point is a nigger loving liberal or something?
It's his Twitter account, so why shouldn't he tweet about WWII skepticism if he wants to? Should he keep tweeting about how the left has gone too far or how the localization problem is non-political? (even though every single localizer is left-wing)
Because he probably could get mass reported on Twitter for being 'antisemitic'? What is the problem here?
It seems to me like you are the 'based centrists' here, trying to accuse him of being a fed because he is further right than you or not an optics cuck individual like yourself.
The funny thing is it's usually the "based centrists" and optics cucks who out themselves as feds.
True, I couldn't imagine the type of person who would try to fed-jacket an anon posting on Twitter.
