That was not a simple explanation of why people keep bitching about the official translation. In fact, that just goes to my own points.

As I explained, no translation can be perfect. And, as you said, you can have multiple translations without having to see one translation as the only acceptable one. That also means you have have multiple translations without having to see one as the most godawful thing in existence when it's objectively fine.

I've never seen anyone claim that the official translation is the One True Translation. People seem to think that calling something the "official" translation means that you can only ever read that one. It's just the one that the person/people who own the rights to whatever is being translated have chosen. It doesn't make it objectively better or worse, just literally official. Yes, it does mean that making another translation infringes on the copyright of the official translation, but if someone wants to go ahead and do their own, I wouldn't bitch about their translation just because it's NOT the official one.

I always feel so bad for the translators of the official version because people love to just shit on it for no good reason.
