the localizers did this to themselves tbh. being caught openly bragging about inserting everything from dumb memes to their own headcanons or politics into localizations against the will of the original writers drove fans to fan translations and now drove authors to ai.

they made their bed, now they have to sleep in it. fuck them tbh.

OH NO THEY WOULDN'T LET ME FUCK A TEENAGER IN FIRE EMBLEM ENGAGE CENSORSHIP!!!!

nice strawman

getting really reddit in here

wait reddit is right wing now

or is 'reddit' just the apolitical catch-all term for 'place where i can find people who disagree with me'

go outside

there isn't enough grass in the world

oh fuck off tourist, hero hei won't fuck you

literally had to google him, never even heard of this guy

Hero Hei is the most garbage dramatuber I've ever seen.

nice fanfiction but the truth is that they're using AI because it's cheaper and faster than hiring translators. robots don't need to do things like "eat" or "sleep" or "complain about not earning a living wage"

+1

Even if what they're saying is true, the real reason is "because money". They wouldn't give a shit otherwise.

yyyyyep, i guarantee you no thought about ethics in localization had a single part of this. like literally everything else involving ai, it's about making a quick buck.

it's funny that people are acting like this is solving some localization problem when ai-translated manga have already been released that gets major characters' names wrong. it's all about being cheap and fast.

i can still enjoy the schadenfreude of localizers losing their jobs. again, serves them right.

a long, long time ago i had a pirated dvd of some movie i don't remember. the movie was dubbed in chinese with english subtitles and what i do remember most is the scene where the subtitles went "a duck fell down."

i remember going wtf at random it seemed, before everyone dropped right as a bunch of bullets whizzed above them and i realized that it was supposed to be "duck down."

enjoy your ducks falling down i guess.

don't you have a 3ds rpg to incorrectly complain about or something

You're one of those weirdos still mad that big titty dragon maid girl said "patriarchy," aren't you?

you cried when stellar blade came out and they didn't show the robot's vagina bones, huh

the rapid turnaround from those subs dropping to humans being dropped for ai makes me think it was an inside job tbqh

localizers are sometimes bad but machine translation is always bad

like even if you don't care about ai for ethical reasons, chortling fatly about consumer products getting worse because ceos need more money is brain damage

jesse what the fuck are you talking abouit
