Games thread!

It was eye opening to me to really realize how slowly a lot of people read. I can absorb the words at a glance and still be able to focus on the visual details of a scene. Some people just can't do that, like my dad. I don't really get it, because that's just so not my experience, but it's something I try and be mindful of.

Well as long as you treat yourself like an anti, and shut the fuck up about it, you can be as prejudiced as you like.

I always find this "discourse" hilarious and confusing at the same time because I always have subs on (I need to read the dialogues). but sometimes I also prefer the dubbed versions, depending on the movies/show. But I ALWAYS have subs on, so when the subs in my native language are not available I just go with the english ones since they are the most available on the net. yeah, it's complicated lol

BTW I'm ESL so when I watch something dubbed it's usually a north american show dubbed in my native language (CSI or Law & Order are prime examples of shows I only watch dubbed). Or an old Japanese anime I grew up with. Sometimes a french show (I will NEVER watch miraculous ladybug in its original dub again lol I refuse) and chinese movies. If I got used to the dubbed voices before having access to the original version then I stay with the dubbed version. No shame. I bet it's the same with a lot of people who get used to American/English or whatever dubs.

I also speak fluently 3 languages and I understand 5. so... ??? I generally don't get this discourse because they always go on about "people being lazy, they don't want to learn a new language" and that's not always the case. Some people just want to chill and entertainment shouldn't be a "job" that entails some language requirements.
For me dubs is mostly about accessibility. The more the better. And some movies and TV series are better when dubbed because the voice actors do a better job than the actual original actors (YES, IT HAPPENS).

Some shows are horrible when dubbed (Supernatural dubbed is a big NO-NO for me), but I find compilation of various dubs super interesting. Sometimes they do little adaptation and show various cultural changes and I love that!

Now... people who prefer watching western stuff dubbed in Japanese... Those are the real weirdos. I sometimes do that to laugh at how horrible their dubs are. AND DAMN, THEY'RE JAPANESE. THEY HAVE SOME OF THE BEST VOICE ACTING IN THE WORLD LOL WHY ARE THEY SO BAD AT DUBBING FOREIGN MEDIA????

(obviously if someone is actively participating in the fandom, I expect them to be at least familiar with the original dub and acknowledge any changes that happened through translation/adaptation)

As a longtime fan of the manga, fair. I love all the Strawhats but Sanji always ranks in the bottom for me just because of the pervert gags. It's a testament to how great his character is otherwise that I still love him at all because hot damn I find the pervert jokes infuriating, especially since he had a big chance to grow out of it during one part of the story and instead Oda doubled down on it.

Sanji in the live action is everything I could have hoped for. He's amazing and since Sanji is the showrunners favourite character I'm confident that he'll keep being amazing and adorable in the live action. Definitely my favourite version of Sanji.

I'm kind of a nerd in the sense that I love hearing other languages so I prefer watching subs over dubs. And even for shows in English I prefer to have the subs on because I feel like it's easier for me to focus.

[(Anonymous)]

It once took me half a second of looking at the TV screen while someone was talking to realize it was a dub. There's just something about the sound quality and the voice acting that stick out, to say nothing of the mismatch between mouth movements and dialogue.

Favorite character arcs

[philstar22]

What characters do you think had the most well-done or most interesting overall arcs?

[(Anonymous)]

You are correct and I'm deeply frustrated by how much OG fans excuse. Oda has a serious problem with women and with sexual offenders in real life, and he's been a corrupting influence in the industry.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly the biggest reason I never got into the manga/anime despite a lot of talk about how decent it is, is that I hate the art-style. I agree that the way women are drawn are the worst offenders but I think they all look awful and could never get past it for the story. It's just hideous.

But I like the show and part of that is definitely because they just look like people and not weird, warped monstrosities.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't care what others choose to do with subs/dubs, but I've personally always preferred subs in anything live-action because the mouth movements not lining up with the spoken words grates on me in a very short amount of time. Cartoons can get away with it though and certainly for more recent anime releases on Netflix or elsewhere I find the dubs to be perfectly fine. But I think western VA for anime has gotten better over time.

Oh same OP. Years ago when I got into my first m/m ship I wandered into some absolutely insane wank over who should top or bottom, when my stance on that has always been: do whatever you have fun writing but otherwise it doesn't matter and I've stuck to that ever since.

I do have a few m/m ships where I have more of a fixed preference(literally just shallow reasons for this, it's that deep), but I'll never get to the point of actually arguing about it, or trying to shame people for liking the opposite to my preference. If I'm that put off by it I just don't read it, it's that easy. It's just not worth any time fighting over and it's dumb as hell.

[(Anonymous)]

Same.
