And I think it's hilarious to ask for sympathy when the thing you "created" isn't your own work anymore than Stouffer's lasagna is your ancient family recipe.

If you weren't a blatant troll, I'd say that you had clearly no clue what a translation actually entails.

It is not a mechanical process where one magically creative genius writes the song or poem or story in the original language and then some knuckle-dragging hack simply plods through a rote process of substituting words and grammar of the target language. The translator has to think about not just what the words denote, but what they imply, has to decide how to handle idioms and allusions that only exist in the original language, has to basically create a new work both aided by and constrained by the original. Anyone who doesn't realize that writing a translation actually means doing a lot of work has no idea about the subject and their opinion means little.

But of course, you're just a troll, so I'm surprised you didn't go with the whole "anime? why are you making such a big fuss about something that's only for little kids??" troll-shtick.
