Umamusume anime: They're clearly saying "Merry Christmas," but the subs say "Happy Holidays" anyway. They did this in the game, too. (xcancel.com)

Many such cases. :(

Death to localizers!

Localizer supporters will hear a character clearly enunciate "Merry Christmasu" and then argue that the nuances of the Japanese language simply can't be translated directly to English, and they're not joking.

Even the sign says "Christmas party".

That's because most people who aspire to learn Japanese just to be subtitle translators for anime tend to be massive faggots. I suspect this is due to the medium, but I'm not sure what else causes this phenomenon; there must be some other psychological factors at play that link the two.

20 years ago, when today's localizers were forming the connections that let them get the jobs they're in now, anime was siloed off in the "stuff weird nerds like" category, so you ended up with a lot of future communists and future trannies networking together.

This. You simply don’t understand how radioactive anime (and thus weebs) were back then among teenagers. Only the future trannies, commies, and pedos absolutely loved Japan on this level. This is not an exaggeration either.

AI thats run by the same tribe that introduced Happy Holidays in the first place?

But that's the beauty of it. AI programs will be ubiquitous and controlled by anyone. One person can redo subs for an entire series, in a matter of hours, and distribute it through open sources. Like videogame mods. We'll be able to overwrite woke bullshit across all forms of media, pretty soon. Hell, currently, but it's a little early right now.

And every competent studio will own their own local model. Time for localizers to learn how to do manual labor.

First reply "Why would I hate localizers for something so fucking minor. This is your best example?" is from a kike with "protect trans kids" as their pinned tweet. He also looks like a cartoon demon and is running interference for somali fraud. You can't make this shit up and you can't escape it.

All according to keikaku (TL Note: Keikaku means plan).
