@balgeunmyeon @AndeanPuppy @__ndz at least try. surely if u have superior knowledge u should be able to point out how accurate or inaccurate my assessment is. like the first two paragraphs of the fucking wikipedia page have u beat

@mysteryswords @Everlaft @PalmyrPar theres a shit ton of fan translations out there milord

English

✨HydroCosmo✨🌜@mysteryswords·16h

@Everlaft @PalmyrPar Instead of allowing others to add their own interpretations to his work, he is obsessed with having some ultra control over every word to the point where there has been no effort to make any translation for any other language than the one he prefers. non english speakers get 0.

If Toby Fox doesn’t want to do a translation for whatever reason, ill-conceived and weird as it may be, he has the right to do that because it’s his creation to do with as he pleases. The author of a work does not have some special debt to pay just because his work got popular.

@krispycakeslore i disagree. i think everyone is entitled to have the chance to enjoy a piece of art. especially after said piece of art released 10 years ago.

Okay yknow what I'll just say it louder. I think any creator is allowed to favour artistic integrity and control over their creation over width of distribution of their product.

Also, “but you guys can fan translations” ok. What if those are wrong since you care so much that one mistranslation can ruin everything

Addams 🇪🇨🖤COMMS OPEN🖤🇪🇨@yuyu197100·13h

Bruh, “one mistranslation can ruin everything” ok. So the options are no translations at all or force people to learn the language just to enjoy a piece of media???

@Soy_Said123 @TextopOnDaTwitr i bet u the vocal latam fans dont give a shit abt any1 else but them getting an official translation

English

Soy_Said@Soy_Said123·11h

@TextopOnDaTwitr yes exactly, because there is no official way Toby cares so much about his vision, that he chooses for millions of people to get the wrong one in exchange of a good "offical" label

He literally says in that same post he fully supports fan translations as they allow for more accessibility without having to be the official way to experience the story but yknow whatever

イザ 🇵🇸@izariez

Sometimes I forget how fascist the average gringo is, even the brown/black and lgbts, the most woke gringo still has a fascist demon in their brain that makes them believe only "their people" are ppl and everybody outside of their country is just a little animal they need to save

@15dollarreturn @ArhurComTh @Gumshoww I think this is a stupid opinion onky held by stupid people who only value their own personal experiences and benefits and no one and nothing else.

Gumshow #FriendpinsSweep2026@Gumshoww·1d

I think demanding a translation is completely reasonable and clearly has results. I can't read Dostoevsky as it was originally written but the painstaking work that translators do makes it accessible and deeply meaningful.

@FlippedGears @Honkadoi "When they act like we don't already have those" and your answer is "wEll pLay thoSe, wHat's tHe pROblem thEN?" You can't make this shit up, my point is by now if he cared anything about accessibility he would compromise about it so fans could properly play the game.

@balgeunmyeon @AndeanPuppy @__ndz i think 'opposing' is better than 'opposite' here. like in an orientalist view the western world trends towards democracy and the orient trends towards despotism etc

English

15dollarreturn@15dollarreturn·11h

@balgeunmyeon @AndeanPuppy @__ndz to extend a hand, my understanding of orientalism despite not having read the book: orientalism is the understanding and attitudes towards the 'eastern' world in and by western countries as distinctly opposite cultural entity, esp. as it relates to imperialism and colonization
