Don't even need to check, we already know
It's actually worse than the tweet says. The Japanese text you see in that shot actually says "Christmas pa(rty)" but the subs say "holiday party". This isn't just a matter of not sticking to the spirit of the scene. It's objectively, maliciously incorrect.
They do this with EVERY FUCKING Japanese game or anime…
In Animal Crossing, in the original (Japanese) there is a Christmas and Easter celebration, but in the Western localization it’s changed to “Toy Day” and “Bunny Day” or some shit like that.
Any time Christmas is mentioned, which the Japanese clearly love, it’s deleted from the Western localization.
There was actually a legit Jewish Nintendo employee ranting on reddit one time about this, basically admitting he was responsible for Nintendo avoiding, or fearing, the use of the word Christmas at all costs. If I recall correctly the Jew employee was STILL mad that Animal Crossing ultimately ended up utilizing Christmas decorations despite the word “Christmas” having been axed.
This is the jew living in Japan and telling them they need to be more multicultural

Best I can do on short notice and with zero effort.
tl;dw An anime scene: Merry Christmas! (Happy holidays in subs)
Summary:
Fansubs note memed on for decades: "Keikaku" means "plan".
Official, "real" subs note that we're expected to swallow: "Merri Kurisumasu" means "Happy Holidays".
That twitter name seems familiar. I think he's been on twitter long enough to have bad takes back during gamergate in 2016.
Seems he's still got some choice bad takes.
Every fuckin' time!
Umamusume is a great anime series. Every season or OVA gets better!
Twin Turbo is my waifu! SFW.
Why are they using these people then?
You heard it here, folks! Hating localizers is 'antisemitism' now!
.... commencing hatred of localizers to MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!
Why would anyone even be pro-semitism?
