@MinModulation maybe he can translate the story to be something more than unfunny jokes

why doesn't Toby Fox simply pay someone to write the game so he has more time for translations, which are legitimately a deeper artform. he has more than enough fucking money so there's literally no excuse. just tell a friend the plot and they could just autopilot it

@LoulouFoxgirl transfems really are men of transgender community

i thought i was nb and then i realized i had to use iel in french and decided to stop fucking around and actually transition

@VirusZeke Other languages surely have no expressions of being overwhelmed like that

People really underestimate how hard it is to not just translate language, but also intent and the impact of the delivery. Eg. "I'm gonna kill myself" can be read as feeling POSITIVELY overwhelmed in English But it can never deliver the same way in different language

@StarkyTheSald grown ass man

i feel like you guys dont understand that no matter how many experts you have explaining to you the thought process and reasonings for a translation, if you dont speak the language, theres always going to be a layer of uncertainty. he can only trust what they tell him

deltarune if toby didn't want to pay a guest artist to design characters for his game again

Ok, ja wiem, że dzisiaj jest 1 kwietnia, ale to nie jest żart. Kristi Noem to była gubernatorka i republikańska Kongremenka, do niedawna Sekretarz Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego w administracji Trumpa. To ona była odpowiedzialna za działania ICE i brutalne łapanki imigrantów. No i właśnie wyszło, że jej mąż ma pewne specyficzne zainteresowania - mianowicie lubi na siebie zakładać wielkie sztuczne piersi, obcisłe różowe spodnie i płacić modelkom tworzącym kontent dla fetyszystów za sprośne rozmowy z nim. Co robi w prywatnym czasie to jego sprawa, natomiast pojawiły się obawy o kwestie bezpieczeństwa, bo konserwatywnego polityka z mocno religijnej Południowej Dakoty łatwo można takimi zdjęciami szantażować. Noem najwyraźniej o tym wszystkim nie wiedziała, bo stwierdziła, że jest zszokowana tymi zdjęciami i prosi o modlitwę za jej rodzinę. Trzeba jej przyznać, że mogła nie zauważyć, bo ostatnio spędzała mało czasu w domu - jej romans z doradcą prezydenta Trumpa, Corey Lewandowskim, był tajemnicą poliszynela. Ale pamiętajcie - to małżeństwa gejów niszczą rodziny, a Donald Trump przeprowadzi nam konserwatywną rewolucję!

coincidence??

jaka parówa wariacie? #oc #furryoc

@glitchchilla straight furry fans are the tourists though. insufferable at that.

A 19-year-old thinks he knows more about the origins of the furry fandom than someone who’s been in it for 27 years. Shut the fuck up. The fandom wasn’t built on LGBTQ propaganda, zoophilia, or public kink. Those elements flooded in later and actively ruined it for everyone else. Public kink exhibitionists and zoophiles turned conventions into spaces where minors and unwilling adults were exposed to sexual behavior without consent. If you’ve been around that long and still defend it, you’re 100% complicit in allowing exhibitionists to flaunt themselves in front of minors and people who wanted no part of it. I was there in 2015 at RainFurrest. The entire convention reeked of urine and feces, and diaper fetishists were leaving used diapers on people’s cars in the parking lot. That was the final straw for me. The fandom I joined no longer exists.

@kijuler lmao

This guy is absolutely justified to remove Deltarune from all digital stores except the Japanese one and make chapters 5-7 Japanese only I'm being so serious

Horrible take. Accessibility>>>>

@Yuriswasdnah @ventiisick Spanish is taught in american schools

@ventiisick "jokes" and is harrassing the creator because he doesn't speak a gazillion languages

Unpopular take maybe? But the idea that art made within one culture MUST be made accessible to every other group is absurd and anti-art. I mean us Turkish speakers have even less translations than Hispanophones, yet I’ve never seen the equivalent of this meltdown in Turkey?

liberals when you tell them that dressing up as a frog and dancing to “raise awareness!!!” at the fascist government mandated “protest” authorized from 4:30pm - 5:30pm literally does absolutely nothing:

@JustFasar "Guys we just can't do that! The only way we do that has only 50% of successful deliveries!"

Unironically starting to believe Fangamer and Toby are purposely shitting on LATAM

@BrechaCeja @kijuler Because the issue is understandable for anyone who's first language isn't English and does not believe in some social darwinism

@tomfoolerycut @kijuler I'm not even from latin America and I'm supporting em. I know it's gonna be latam Spanish translation, I know people from latam will make fun of Spain if it does or doesn't get a translation and viceversa and I still think they have the right to ask and be mad, so they should

Y'all are acting like he actually said something insane and all he said was "I don't feel comfortable making translations into languages I don't speak" You speak fluent English god damn why would this even trigger you And if you hate him so much Don't play ch5 😭😭😭😭😭

Not doing a translation is one thing. Fangamer making merch ultra expensive or even downright inaccessible in LATAM while they all have a tag that says "Made in Honduras" is downright despicable. Making merch in LATAM while making the merch inaccessible in LATAM is so shitty.

Of all the Toby Fox discourse, this is the one that really got me. This is truly the thing that defines the conflict. People who speak in native english are incapable of understanding what it's like to have most art NOT made for your native language. It's baffling to me.

He voted for the "KILL ALL GAY PEOPLE" guy twice and the very queer fandom just let him get away with it

There is something interesting to note here with Toby Fox's lie in his response. The excuse he gave for the reason why there was only a Japanese version of Undertale localized in the first place is because he "actually know the language" and therefore, be more comfortable to work on it as it's conception. However, it could be verified that Toby hasn't properly started learning Japanese until the next year after the official Japanese localizion of Undertale has released (August 16, 2017), and has only able to be proficient enough in the language to help directly with the translation by the time he worked on Deltarune. With part of the process of the localization being officially stated: "Before Undertale's English release, Toby told me that he intended to release the game in Japanese sometime. He faced some big questions, though. How do you get a game translated and localized? And how do you ensure the final product is good if you don't even know the language yourself?" And for a tweet: "Even back when I was translating Undertale, I actually mistook Toby for someone who was already intimately familiar with Japanese...That's how committed to the Japanese version he was, it was quite amazing. (And now, in the space of only one year, he's already become "intimately familiar" with it, to the point it blew me away...)" Toby Fox is lying, most likely unintentionally, but it's still not exactly a white lie. The one excuse he has is faulty, and it leads to the truth of it seeming just out of favoritism. The personal interest that drove him to undertake that process for Japanese did not exist for other languages. This isn't bad in itself, but the excuse he uses frames him as more altruistic than what is actually the case. And this also disproves the notion that the process of localizing other language couldn't be done without prior fluency, since his own Japanese localization proves it is possible without prior fluency. Thai distinction wouldn't necessarily matter if it didn't make a difference, but that is tht opposite for the case. It puts him at a more favorable light even despite the actual logistic issues being valid for why he can't pursue it. It should be correct into the actual reason, I think, despite it being a less favorable framing because it locates the cause in his choices rather than in his circumstances, and it invites other overseas fans to ask why their community did not merit the same investment rather than accepting that the investment was simply never possible.
