Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door English Localization Co-opts Vivian as Transgender - Techopse - Trading Enthusiasm for Anger
Trans activists across social media are pretending to have an interest in Nintendo’s latest re-release of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. What’s the reasoning behind their curious interest in the remake of the cutesy 2004 classic? Egregious colonized ...
Don't buy remakes from queers; demand emulation of the original.
When possible go for the undub version.
As ever, Treehouse insists on removing Japanese cultural elements and touchstones from their localizations. Been like this back in the 3ds era with the Fire Emblem debacle, been like it now.
What happened with what fire emblem?
Fire Emblem Fates. The classic example- two assassins, formerly on opposite sides, have a discussion.
Original dialogue (approximated)-
"Localized" dialogue (exact)-
Saizo and Beroka was it? Yeah its not just that, they also removed the waifu rubbing game and some dialogues were infantilized
Best thing would be to play the translated jap version, its somewhere on arhive.org
Wasn't this the one where they removed the fanservice-y touchy game mode?
What the fucking fuck.
I remember they removed headpatting from some FE game.
There's the infamous dialogue changes, e.g. an entire dialogue chain was removed and just filled with "..." between two characters in a support conversation, the "RAWR! That means I love you in dragon!" or some similar fucking nonsense.

Awakening also had some bullshit but that was 8-4.
It's literally restoring the original dialogue from the Japanese script. It was the American dub that removed it. Normally your statement would be correct, but in this case the old 2004? dub was heavily modified and censored. This re-release is closer to the original.
You're perfectly free to hate the character, but it's kind if silly how people are acting like this is some new thing. God forbid people acknowledge Nintendo of sucking the Tranny dick decades before it was cool.
That argument would hold water, except they're changing other things from the script willy-nilly to avoid stepping on lefty toes. No fat jokes, no skinny jokes. No Bowser calling Kammy an airhead. No catcalling goombas. (Dupree still gets to hit on Goombella with his heavy French accent though. Weird...) No saying Luigi in a dress is horrifying....
That's a very strange statement since the article actually provides the original Japanese and it is not, in fact, the same at all.
Japanese crossdressing characters have no cultural connection to American-style queerness, even if American queers get very loud and obnoxious about it.
An effeminate male is not the same thing as a tranny. Unless you think all twinks and traps must actually be female as well.
This is just trannies trying to lay claim to something that has nothing to do with them to force representation in mainstream games people love.
no, he was originally a girly boy being made fun of by his incredibly ugly sisters.
I'm hate these fucking groomer cultists so much it's unreal.
You are morally right when fishing up nintendont games from the high seas. Never but thier remakes, because youre supporting left wing retardation, and a terrible console company. The Rom of this is perfectly functional.
Looking at the different language localizations is interesting. The English is cucked, the German is semi-cucked by just cutting the gender talk entirely, the French and Spanish are pretty faithful and weirdly the Italian is the most turbo-cucked of all.
Italian localization often, not always but often, is taken from English localization, and thus goes through the localization machine twice.
which fundamentally breaks a gendered language. English is the only European language that I know of without grammatical gender
We really need to recognize we're dealing with profound mental illness with a huge dose of obsessive compulsion disorder.

The only solution is to get rid of gender bending in games altogether. ;)
The Japanese don't seem to have any problem with their character types in their media. If the rest of the world can't figure it out, maybe they shouldn't be consuming Japanese media.
Maybe gender bending needs to relegated to the dustbin of history. I'm sure the Japanese will be more than willing to take one for the team.
They're Asian. If they grow out their hair they already look like a woman. Its like asking manlets to not be so short.
