Have you ever been an "original language snob" when your fandom was translated?

[(Anonymous)]

Whether anime translated into English or whatever, has a localized translation ever bothered you - even irrationally? Are you ever that fan who insists on using a non-canon spelling or translation?

Re: Have you ever been an "original language snob" when your fandom was translated?

[(Anonymous)]

Sort of. I was in the fandom for a Japanese game that didn't have an official English translation, but the English-language patch was so badly translated for one character (who was also my favourite character) and was really mean to him. But luckily I found a long explanation of translation differences which corrected it, so that was nice.

I'm not sure if this counts but in the Yen Press translations of Fruits Basket, Kyo says "yucky Yuki" instead of "that damn Yuki" or whatever else he called him in the Tokyopop version and it's so very wrong to me.

This is a sort-of, sort-of-not example, but Final Fantasy VII's heroine will always be Aeris, not Aerith - as in, the first official transliteration, not the re-transliteration.

Does it count if your canon got a 4kids/Saban-style dub? Because you can pry the Japanese Digimon characters' names from my cold dead hands.

Re: Have you ever been an "original language snob" when your fandom was translated?

[greghousesgf]

I can tell you that they're not really saying "amusement park" in the original Japanese dialogue in Spirited Away. They're using a Japanese word that doesn't have a direct translation in English but it means a combination shopping mall and apartment complex, which is why you see a lot of food stands and NO RIDES.

The only one I can recall right now is my country's dub of Gilmore Girls, which removed a lot of pop culture references.

Re: Have you ever been an "original language snob" when your fandom was translated?

[(Anonymous)]

absolutely, because Western pirate lingo in One Piece makes me want to flip Viz right off a cliff. And don't even get me started on ""Zolo.""

but when it comes to canon spellings/suggestions, Japanese transliteration issues make for a handful of extremely awkward naming conventions wherein two different romanizations appear in canon so you don't know what to use. See: Alabasta/Arabasta. Most of fandom uses Alabasta because it's a multi-lingual pun on alabaster, a common stone building material in desert climates, but it does appear as Arabasta once or twice. There's also "Sabaody" which appears in multiple places romanized by Oda himself that way but it's pronounced "shabondy" as in shabon=bubble. Why, Oda, why is there never an N in the signs on Sabaody Park, the Sabaody Dome, etc...

But mostly I reject a lot of Funimation and Viz's transliteration attempts because they ruin perfectly good Japanese puns. "Fishverly Hills" does not roll off the tongue like "Gyoverly Hills."

The world is a shit

Yes it is.

[(Anonymous)]

So be a wipe

or a toilet

or even a piss

don't let the world keep you from realizing your true potential, bruh

I like to view this post as an alternative to flat-earthers. They say Earth is flat, science says it's round, OP says that our world is a giant poop emoji floating in space.

what regime? the world is shit.

[(Anonymous)]

no related, but saudis and philippines bring machetes into the mixes.

so no regime change there.

They caught the Original Nightstalker!

This case is of the same levels of infamy as the Zodiac Killer.

Re: They caught the Original Nightstalker!

[mrs_don_draper]

I always comforted myself about those stories by telling myself I didn't need to worry about people like them because they were probably dead already, so this definitely freaked me out! :|

Re: They caught the Original Nightstalker!

[(Anonymous)]

Wow. I listened to the Case File podcasts of the Original Nightstalker and I was so scared that they never caught him, I hope the people he hurt can get some sense of justice/closure now they've found him

Re: They caught the Original Nightstalker!

[kamino_neko]

Jesus, he was a cop.

Re: They caught the Original Nightstalker!

[nightscale]

Jesus.

I mean it's good that they caught him but wow.

My question is: has he really been dormant all this time?

[(Anonymous)]

Or did he just get better at covering his crimes up? I've seen speculation that he stopped because he had kids or DNA was gaining traction, but I thought a lot of serials feel a compulsion and generally only stop if they are physically incapable (through injury, disease, or imprisonment). I suppose it could have been channeled into something else, but if having kids is really the answer, I'm not sure what to do with that.

Advice!

Rant

[philstar22]

So, the gynecologist I have been seeing became out of network. One thing that made me angry. I found someone new in the practice. He was a guy, but I liked him. My mother called the office today because my next appointment had to be rescheduled and found out it was a guy. And decided I wouldn't want to see a guy even though I've already seen him. So now I'm seeing a third person. Argh.
