@RAGErkgk Just like the newgen western weebs.

The piracy conversation has moved to the old head otaku from Japan and the western community realizing that the problem is actually this new generation that aren't real otaku at all.

@michael4559349 @WebUndefeated Man, if they leave a fresh roll on the back of the toilet that's going too far.

@WebUndefeated As in love, war and epic pranks, escalation is allowed when all other avenues are exhausted. The wash cloths and the hand towels are now in play and I would expect that in courtesy, the tub would now become the hamper.

Nah..this is diabolical 😭

@DeltyThe73rd I enjoyed it, but I do get the criticisms of it as a weird fan fic entry shoved into the UC timeline. Any long running franchise with a lot of writers is going to have that though.

ever since I found out the admin of this mechatwt confessions page dislikes Gundam Unicorn, it started to make sense why she keeps pushing these types of tweets lmao

@holdfastfriends @Daamianski Inbreeding doesn't become genetic issues that fast. It's a problem over generations.

@Daamianski They're basically a group of cousins, they're kids would have genetic problems

Am I crazy or can they literally not just have ONE cycle of procreation and then stop, it would be a boost however small and they wouldn't inbreed

@retro_anime I never did read the manga to find out why he ended up in this place

Cromartie High School (2003)

@namlun0812 It's no Ghost Sweeper Mikami, but this show was fun too.

@greg__911 @TechOperator I was more of a FastMenu Gold guy

@TechOperator CD NC NC.exe

You walk up to your computer and see this screen. Your next move?

@KILLTOPARTY I've had friends like this. She's gonna get caught up in some weird political rabbit hole eventually.

I love her

@MynameJ54300954 @SoyCobson Imagine you had an enormous penis and servants who had to put up with your bullshit. Is this so strange a choice?

@SoyCobson Are there any philosophers that are just normal guys?

@R_man2400 @Scratch_Point_Z But you do? Popular Korean webtoons like "Solo Leveling" "Lookism" and "Wind Breaker" which are set in Seoul are set in Tokyo with the cast given new Japanese names in the LINE Manga release.

@petty_anon @Scratch_Point_Z 翻訳の問題かもしれませんが、中国や韓国原作の物を和訳するとき舞台を変更することは有りません(日本ではそういった行為は原作改編と呼ばれ非常に嫌われます) 中国の古典(水滸伝など)のパロディで日本版古典を作ったりは有りますね

While there are some egregious examples of specific individuals within localization openly bragging about their vandalization of Japanese games, anime, & manga, the concept of localization itself has enabled this loose approach to translation. The stated purpose of localization is "adapting a foreign work for the target region/culture" it will be released in, thus this inevitably leads to changing core elements of Japanese works that do not align with so-called "Western sensibilities" that often truly just means political correctness. However, political correctness is only a symptom of the larger problem with localization, which is the fact that it is a process that's intended to edit the original work to make it "palatable" for a foreign demographic. There are a lot of edits that aren't political in nature & just amount to localizers making changes they personally think are better because Japanese scripts are viewed as "too boring"; such as adding humor, slang, or memes where it wasn't present in the original script, changing character personalities, names etc., which shifts the overall tone of the story & strays from the creator's intent. Many Western fans of Japanese media oppose these changes, because they want a faithful translation that respects the original & find the unique nature of Japanese works appealing. Localizers often tell the audience this is not possible due to differences across languages, but many of the script comparisons that have been shown are fairly easily translatable bits of dialogue that demonstrate this is manipulation to justify their preferences over remaining true to the original work. When fans bring this to their attention, they are often mocked or dismissed, labeled names like "weeb" or "Japanophile," when in reality it's just normal to want accurate translations that reflect the creator's vision. Localizers are also guilty of whispering in the ears of Japanese companies & creators telling them that certain elements of their creations "won't work for an English audience," thus giving a false impression that many changes are necessary despite people across the world loving Japanese media for its differences. This has unfortunately led to an increase in Japanese companies incorporating localization teams into the creative process so that Japanese works will be the same across all regions from the outset, often removing what makes them special by focusing on not including anything that will be falsely labeled incompatible with foreign audiences. This approach has come to be known as "localization at the source." The ultimate problem is that the process of localization itself is flawed, so even if you get rid of the loudest localizers of the bunch, the issues with localization will persist until the industry is revamped to focus on faithful translation over making changes for cultural reasons. Basically, Japanese media must be free to be authentically Japanese.

@NeroFiammes @MMike59152 @Cacophanus You mean what they did on the Wii and Wii U. People complained that $8 was too expensive for a SNES game.

@MMike59152 @Cacophanus There's a huge difference between "hey pay like $10 for the game and its yours forever" and a rental that'll disappear if you ever decide you don't want NSO... for a game that was never online

@Dassal_Cokato @thegrayfruit No, but hotel keys don't like phones

@thegrayfruit Are magnets and credit cards still beefing?

it fucks me up mentally that electronics and magnets just got over their beef for the most part like they're chill now. my phone has a magnet on it. my pc case has a magnet on it. unsettling

@HyZock_E Char just had too many toys for any of them to become his iconic suit. Red Zaku is probably on top no matter how much I personally like the Hyaku Shiki or Sazabi

It’s so strange too because I rarely see suits like the Sazabi, The-O, Turn X, etc get discussed in comparison to suits used by protagonists or even just basic suits used by an antagonist faction, when I was first getting into Gundam this was an issue to where I thought the

The Zeong is genuinely such an incredible design, it’s a shame many don’t seem to appreciate it that much, it’s unfortunate that I don’t see it discussed as much for a suit used during the finale (though that may just be an issue in general with antagonist suits I’ve noticed).

@animeoutsiders He is annoying but I'm not quite sure how he became the face of this issue? Like he was saying it, but he definitely wasn't leading the charge on it.

Guys he walked it back later that means he never said it! Guys c'mon stop making fun of him for reaping what he sowed come on stop giving people i hate a w please i beg of you

@OliverJia1014 @PSPMan3000 Because that game is on the disc and definitely doesn't also rely on the online infrastructure to download a massive day 1 patch

@PSPMan3000 That’s true but sorta separate from what I’m discussing here. I hate Game-Key Cards and will just get the game on PS5 if it’s available.

This is a really bad argument. There’s a difference between emulating a rare 30-year-old Famicom game that’s no longer available and choosing to pirate modern, easily available stuff just because you perceive it as expensive. It’s no longer about preservation.

@kumayan_bear @Tats_Gunso Everyone on the internet is just the loudest. They don't represent anything.

@Tats_Gunso それを知ってるから、外国人が一生懸命理解しようとしてるのを見てて申し訳ないと思ってしまう。そもそも彼らが日本人代表の意見と言う訳でもないし。

これはマジな話で。 海外の冷静な人たちは日本との文化の違いがーって真面目に分析しようとしてくれてたけど、もちろんそういう面も多少はあるけど、大多数の日本側の反応はもっと単純化に日本人の「ムラ社会」精神からくる「村八分モード」の嫌がらせなんですよ。 冷静に相手してる人達が可哀想。

@jondelarroz I disagree with pretty much anything that comes out of your mouth without even listening.

Anime is inherently right wing and Christian. Do you agree?

@8116j @nekobungi I've always thought of piracy as something everyone is tacitly aware of that we all collectively agree not to talk about.

@nekobungi 海賊版が悪なのは言うまでもないが、それこそ倫理的にいかんワードを使って外国人を罵倒している人の中に何らかの権利を侵害しているコンテンツを使ったことのない人いないと思うんですよね、全部ちゃんと突き詰めていくと誰も石投げられなくなるんじゃないかなと

ここぞとばかりに二重基準を発動させて「俺たち日本人が著作権侵害コンテンツを楽しむのはネット文化だからOK、日本の高尚な芸術作品をガイジンが盗むのはまかりならん、それが理解できないのは遵法意識のないケトウだ話を逸らすな〜」モードになってる人がいっぱいいて怖いね

@TylerGlaiel True Internet in it's purest form
