In a shocking twist that absolutely nobody saw coming, the progressive game mod hosting platform Gamebanana, known for removing comments and mods that go against the current agenda or deviate from LGBT inclusion in video games, has removed a modification t...
Proper localization gets removed from all popular mod sites. Yet, the Persona 5 mod that adds gay romances is okay. Quite obvious there is a gay agenda.
This is why we have basedmods...
The trenders are totally oppressed, guys! The genocide is real. Free hormone drugs for all!
"otokonoko, which translates to “femboy”"
Its the normal everyday word for boy. It means "male child". Pretty bad if people have corrupted the word so badly in that its now accepted as a pornographic term.
Depending how it is written in Japanese, it pretty much does translate to femboy though. It's a play on kanji readings.
男の子 vs 男の娘 Both read the same.
That being said, naturally, you can't just say "otokonoko, which translates to femboy" in English alone because of course, the normal 男の子 is 1000 times more common in most contexts.
What is in the game?
No idea, I haven't played it in Japanese and never did a dive into the script. Everything I've heard second hand points to it being a dude acting as a woman in the original but that could be wrong. Haven't seen it myself.
Streisaaand! /shakes effect
The Japanese is well within my translation abilities. Maybe I’ll pirate the game and play it in Japanese. I don’t want to give them a dollar for the tranny shit.
https://basedmods.eth.link has it + lots of other mods that jannies get upset about.
That last replacement kind of takes away an obvious joke - Bowser calling anyone "Tubby".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Vivian a male in the original JP version? Like I thought the original GC EN version was actually censored? Or am I mistaken?
It was. The original was still localized, it was just 20 years ago so the localizer theme at the time which was to sand off anything not super child friendly or overtly Japanese.
So while its far less offensive and disrespectful than the current crop, its also a case of people's nostalgia making them fine with something they'd probably complain about if it happened today anyway.
Really showing, once again, how much they don't care
It's already up on BasedMods
