@cloneseph @KeijiAkaashi005 If female chars are what keep hoyo going why the fuck is hi3 and ggz dead as fuck? Catering to both is what makes genshin big. The actual blockbuster females are Hutao, Raiden, Ayaka. If genshin didn't have males it would fail or be smaller than what it is even if male sells less

@larrkrl @KeijiAkaashi005 Bla bla bla... you still didn't answer me. How many blockbuster males does Hoyo have? I didn't give a shit about meta, you wanted to talk about it, let's go. Then tell me how many blockbuster females Hoyo has. We'll compare them both and see which one keeps the game alive.

Incels are so fucking weird. What’s wrong with wanting more male characters? This is a mixed-gender gacha, mind you.

@Birdiche @ChristinaTasty @nifinof If you find politics in this. Get help please.

@larrkrl @ChristinaTasty @nifinof

really sucks that localization discourse is such a culture war minefield, impossible to have any genuine discussion about it

@creepdimensions @ChristinaTasty @nifinof The same team also did localization for 3 other languages

@larrkrl @ChristinaTasty @nifinof Okay then if not culture war how about we call it just retarded and make sure they never do this bullshit again. Literally every other country did their job fine it's us doing bullshit

@ChristinaTasty @nifinof The EVIL LEFTIST WESTERN IDEOLOGY IS SPREAD BY PUTTING "SKIBIDI" INTO JP GAME. If you genuinely see any culture war BS in this you are geneuinely schizophrenic or severely mind fucked by engaging in it so much.

@nifinof In this instance, the ones who do the localisations are doing it because they are knee deep in said culture war, using it as a way to fight in it. The argument people are making is "please don't do culture war in my localisations." The mines are being placed by the localisers.

@cloneseph @KeijiAkaashi005 Meta also plays a big part of Genshin revenue if you don't know. The game has a really strong theorycrafting community in china and west. What gacha has KQM equvalent? Zenless has lots of popular males per capita also. Female fans in JP go crazy for harumasa. Also Hsr. PER CAPITA

@larrkrl @KeijiAkaashi005 Okay, how many males characters hits Hoyo has ? How many of them? 2? 3? Now how many female hits they have? Wanna compare? And we are talking about Hoyo... Wanna talk about WuWa? I don't think so...

@cloneseph @KeijiAkaashi005 there are tons of popular males in genshin though. In west and east asia. Alhaitham, Kaveh, Cyno, Flins, Zhongli, Childe, Neuvillette, Venti, Scara, XIAO, they all popular among the target audience. wuwa ? its just a shit game. PGR males are all loved by the fans despite not many

@messatsou @weirdphil @Maddlad_L for most games this wouldnt be the case. this game isnt most games. but yes JP should gatekeep the fuck out of every single of their media and not let anything out. Because everything gaijins touch turn shit. All that culture war bullshit. And take down piracy from foreingers too

@larrkrl @weirdphil @Maddlad_L It doesn't work like that. If everyone just learned Japanese, then there would be no use for translators. Assuming they had a use to begin with. So I guess you're right. They deserve to pack fries and be jobless.

I feel nothing but hatred towards EN Localization. I was looking forward to Yunyun Syndrome, but goddamn the disrespect feels on purpose. Just learning ANY language other than English feels like an upgrade.

@zenilant yeah because the spanish TL into "fanfic" is so great and convey so much emotions here and doesn't totally mess up the meanings lol. You're so fucking retarded and everyone around this mess are soo fucking retarded it's crazy.

entire Yunyun localization summed up in one image; never hire Jeremy Blaustein again. Not sure how he hasn't been run out of the industry forever until now

@Jotarodorifto1 @Maddlad_L another culture war larper who hops on the retarded bandwagon and doesn't actually give a shit about this game nor understand anything about it. Pipe down brownoid gachatard.

@larrkrl @Maddlad_L Just say you're retarded bro

@solumodium @Maddlad_L what is the premise of this game then? pretending to care about something you don't know about won't make you cool fucking normgroid.

@larrkrl @Maddlad_L "quirky internet lingo" and it's just leftist self-insertion

@Foojack220 @suflors_ They mald about yuri yaoi etc literally also another part of anime tropes. Just same piece of shit different side. They also support silencing those artists. Hoodweebs are just normies. Like the typical shonen onlies. They all use their gaijin mindset into JP stuff lol.

@larrkrl @suflors_ For those people, I’ll say at least they usually don’t mald about classic anime tropes like fan service, lolis, “wincest”, etc Hoodweebs are genuinely the lowest of the low. It’s not that they just don’t bring anything to the community, it’s that they’re genuinely a detriment.

it's pretty disgusting how most western "anime fans" are so divorced from the actual production that they don't even know demographics, airing times, and some don't even know studios they also usually don't read any manga, lns, or vns and only watch adaptations of them

@FromIceToFrazil @KanashiiWolf @magicgirlcrisis Niche and obscure communities in general. And where does it prove that those people dipped their hands into the localization? You're literally just parotting normgroid talking points lmfao. Identity politics, propaganda,localization,trans lmfao hottest buzzwords in 2026 they are.

@larrkrl @KanashiiWolf @magicgirlcrisis LOL "Niche and obscure" and its an INDIE ANIME RHYTHYM GAME "Discover" meaning joining the discord and deliberately feeding identity politics propaganda and garbage localizations to the dev "Normgroid" HAHAHAHAHA You love the game so much you support its vandalization Fuck off

Dont you hate it when a game you were REALLY looking forward to has the worst translation known to man

@Foojack220 @suflors_ even those wannabe "true weeaboos" who constanrly shits on hoodweebs do this also though. They only consoom CN gachagames and mainstream anime. Covid really brought the worst out of the world.

@suflors_ Covid era hoodweebs are a blight on all lol

@Maddlad_L @weirdphil brainrot internet lingos are basically unintelligible gibberish. These aren't just traditional slangs. ENG grammar WILL not work without totally messing itp. For example. Pixiv tags, as japanese internet as it gets. How do you TL this? lots of ENG TL tags are BS due to that fact

@larrkrl @weirdphil To whatever is closest, even if they have to add in the japanese terms themselves. Otaku of yesteryear used to LEARN terms, phrases, and other part of Japanese culture because we gave a shit. Their culture was different and it was fun to learn about it.

@weirdphil @Maddlad_L My bad then. Still, directly mimicking contemporary brainrot quirky lingo of ENG plebs. The game is not set in the 2000s and pretty much does not suggest such. They try to convey the intentions of the OG dialouge with murican lingo. What would you TL this to, personally?

@larrkrl @Maddlad_L WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEEEEEEEAN???

@FromIceToFrazil @KanashiiWolf @magicgirlcrisis "political activists" and they discover the niche game before you. if you have ever been in an actual niche and obscure community you wouldn't think like this. you're just a filthy normgroid parroting normie talking points kek

@KanashiiWolf @magicgirlcrisis RIP. Troon flag emote reactions on the post. The discord is being astroturfed. Political activists are out to ruin everything you love

DEPLOY RYONA FETISH BOMB UPON 8 BILLION HUMANS NOW

@Maddlad_L @weirdphil The ENG localizing here is directly mimicking western or atleast american internet culture lingo of the 2000's though. for easier understanding for murican plebs. theres no skibidi toilet or whatever bs like the other dude suggested. dudes just pullint shit outta his ass.

@weirdphil @larrkrl Especially 00s Internet Otaku culture. That was an entirely different world back then.

@messatsou @weirdphil @Maddlad_L Or maybe just play in JP by learning JP without trash AI TL that is probaly going to butcher it in a different way. Theres no way to perfectly TL this game. The language and mannerism of JP internet lingos cannot be translated and kept all the emotions and intentions.

@larrkrl @weirdphil @Maddlad_L You're not going to get them with the 'modern' lolcowlizers anyway. At least the slop from AI you get isn't wholesale butchered by 'people(?)' that you expect to do a decent job.

@TalkingFishhh @weirdphil @Maddlad_L sometimes the words might appear as gibberish and ordinary TL cannot understand. like "wutdafaq" in ENG or somethign along those lines.

@TalkingFishhh @weirdphil @Maddlad_L Well if the TL doesn't fucking take the slangs in JP characters and TL the face meaning of those words then yes you will be able to learn those. The only way to fully learn is play JP without any dumbass auto TL that isnt a JP chronically online person doing it for you.
