From the dev statement:

All of the Japanese text was written and crafted by me personally and I also worked very closely with our localization teams in English from the very start to create a version that represents my vision for Yunyun and Qtie's world. The scenario itself is something I carefully wove together over a long period of time with my own thoughts and emotions included in it deeply. The characters are like my own precious children to me,

And above all, everyone who plays the game or looks forward to it is truly irreplaceable to me. I want you to have a wonderful experience, and I want more people to come to love Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis, as well as the characters Qtie and Yunyun. To achieve that, I am committed to doing everything I possibly can.

I'd be careful of insisting how closely you worked with such a shitshow of a translation, mister dev-san...

I’m putting money down that the developer did actually work with Dragon Baby and told them what he wanted directly. He trusted them and didn’t check the file deliveries so he just threw it into the code.

Yep, they 100% cozied up to the developer and lied to them to inject whatever they wanted and rewrite everything they could getting tacit approval over their bastardization.

It's entirely believable that -Baby leftists would sociopathically lie to someone, not showing their true intents. Perfectly possible this Japanese dev worked with them and they hid their true snake-like nature.

it's probably just the usual not publicly display hostility part of the Japanese culture

i will NEVER be victimized under fascism again

"By becoming a fascist myself! I was ordered to do a faithful translation but I decided, on my own, to change that mission, in order to blindly push my own politics where they were never wanted. I am LITERALLY the thing I claim to hate."
