no like i still rlly don’t understand. how does going from an zhe to anzhe make the name lose its meaning, how does it no longer honor an ze? i just don’t understand these arguments, what am i missing

@biheretic right ppl keep saying the translator was unprofessional in their response and also mocking readers by being so flippant (i personally disagree with both) but like i don’t think that is part of their job description 😭

i don't go here but it's wild seeing people respond to this like "well that makes sense but the translator should've said so" like have y'all considered not harassing translators because you assume they're just making choices willy nilly with no thought
🍈 yuyu@congeebrain

some additional context that went into the carefully considered choice of rendering 安折 as “anzhe” 🧵🪡 firstly, anzhe is not a person, legally or physically. all his documents say an ze, and that’s who he’s assumed to be - the name “anzhe” exists only in his head.

i understand why ppl are upset with the name change decision for the LM 7s TL and i also understand the translator’s reasoning behind the decision and ultimately i don’t really care either way. maybe this is how others feel when i freak out about rosmei’s TL decisions lol

@luobingpup @zechulian @stranglingstars You keep resorting to accusing others of illiteracy because you fail to make a sound argument. I promise I am not as dumb as you think I am. You are the only one making a fool of yourself here.

@luobingpup @zechulian @stranglingstars Falsely stating that danmei are not actual books is not a figure of speech. So I don’t know why you keep hiding behind that. OP admitted the wording was poor, so I don’t understand your insistence here.

@luobingpup @zechulian @stranglingstars Dude I know that a hyperbole is a figure of speech LMAO. Which figure of speech did OP use? Because it wasn’t hyperbole, which is the example you gave.

moving the goalposts from danmei vs “actual books” to webnovels vs “actual books” to actually self-published vs trad published. and regardless of which one you finally choose to land on, they all sound elitist asf.

@luobingpup @zechulian @stranglingstars I still find the conclusion that only traditionally published books qualify as “actual books” elitist, not to mention silly, considering how seemingly low-effort large publishing houses have been with their releases in the last few years.

You should immerse in your target language, even if you don't understand a single word. I am watching a Stardew Valley playthrough and the commentator has been talking about fish for 5 minutes. Now I know the word for fish because my brain picked it up.
