I'm not familiar with the particular piece of media OP is talking about, but I can't help but wonder if using the word "Scum" is actually a pun, since there is a "technique" considered cheating by many gamers called "save scumming". It's basically when a player saves a game before making a game-changing choice, then goes back and reloads that save if they don't like the original result.

That's the thing with translations. Something that is clever and will get a laugh out of one group will just confused others. Which is why back in my fan translator days, I always made copious translator's notes, especially since I was translating to English, and many other language translations get based off of English ones in fan communities.
