Any foreigner celebrating or participating in spreading political discord in Japan should be promptly deported and never allowed reentry. Tolerating this nonsense only affords them a voice in steering the direction of the culture which they do not deserve.

Africans need to remain in Africa. There is nothing of value they can add to Japan or Western society, otherwise their own homelands wouldn't be the way they are. It's not the land, it's the people who inhabit it. Allowing them into your country is effectively inviting a permanent underclass that will always lag behind and weigh society and culture down with incompatible, destructive behaviors. They will always envy and resent their betters no matter what you do for them.

Rather than make assumptions, why not share with the class the "subtle cultural nuance" here that requires an ordinary character name be turned into an STD joke?

That's not what actually happened, though.
The myth of the original Ghost Stories anime being such a colossal failure that ADV was given free rein over the dub persists, when in reality it's just another tale of localizers thinking they're better writers than the JP creator. slashfilm.com/703353/why-eve…

Localizers will blatantly disrespect the Japanese source material and act as though it's clever and funny. Esti Erhard of Atelier's Arland trilogy is a great example of turning a character into a complete joke by making her name a play on STD. Somehow, practices like this are considered a professional job in the world of localization, which is all that is needed to demonstrate the low standards of the industry and with how little respect Japanese media is treated via localizers. This should never be acceptable.

This is a display of cultural dominance. They know it's disruptive to natives, they know it's obnoxious and completely unnecessary, but they don't care. They're going to do it simply to show that they can because they have the "discrimination" card if anyone tries to stop them. The Japanese (and the West) need to send these invaders packing.

They're not wanted or needed in Japan (or any other civilized country) due to the content of their character. It just so happens that the skin often correlates with the low quality of said character.

Thanks to localizers, Japanese companies and creators largely have a false perception of what is "necessary" when it comes to the English translation of Japanese media. The art and cultural references should not be censored or "adapted," rather these works should be faithfully translated to adhere as closely as possible to the original Japanese. Foreign media should feel foreign to an audience outside of that culture's target demographic; this is normal and also allows said audience to better understand a culture whose creativity they enjoy. "Adapting" it to feel like it wasn't even made by its own creators' cultural perspective is artistic vandalism. Localizers and those who defend their practices will often default to "you can't translate 1:1" when a lot of script changes are easily translatable lines of dialogue, as demonstrated by countless comparisons. While egregious examples are often shared the most because they stand out more, there are so many simple lines that get changed for no reason other than what amounts to a localizer's personal preference, which should never justify altering the author's intent. Unfortunately, these practices are so ingrained in the industry that it will require a complete overhaul to the way Japanese to English translation is handled. The Japanese need to know this is *not* necessary for their media to be enjoyed.

Only if you're someone who thinks men can become women, SRS mutilation scars are a good character creation option, and that pronouns are a personal choice that should be punished if someone gets them "wrong."

Enforce mandatory IQ tests to get a driver's license. These people should not be operating machinery their own kind could never invent.

"Nazi" has just become a derogatory term to villianize people who want to live in a normal, high trust society.
