There is no such thing as translation without localization. Any decision a translator makes to use one translation over another based on the target audience is localization. It is impossible to do this for an entire work without taking the audience into consideration.

a lot of hardcore western otaku think localization should be catered specifically to them and not to millions of english speakers across multiple generations who have varying levels of understanding of Japanese culture.

everyone is ignoring the obvious solution that they should have localized Helios with Cockney rhyming slang

this is not what the original discussion is about but the uma gyaru, and most anime gyaru in general, are absolutely gyaru culture erasure. they are so divorced from the actual movement that its probably disrespectful they actually use the term
please help me out here bc im genuinely trying to understand.. (maybe im too woke for this) why r people saying helios is gyaru culture erasure? is this or is this not implying that gyarus speak an entirely different language? 😭 like this feels like an attack on a subcommunity

and don’t get me wrong i still like these characters. this is not a critique on them or anyone who likes them. it is a crique on the sanitization of counter-culture movements in pop culture

localization discourse is my own personal hell because my degree is in linguistics so its like arguing with actual dogs. i can only imagine this is how astronomers and physicists feel about flat earthers

Helios does not speak general gyarugo, she speaks fucking nonsense!!! What other way to translate that is there than brainrot? You’re just mad because its cringe when you can understand it even though it was still cringe in Japanese.

as it stands she is the best 10f dirt horse in training. a lot can happen obv but rn she’s a legit classic contender
Mark Casse said it was quite likely that Nitrogen will return in 2027. "That was one of the factors in the decision to go to the Distaff versus the Classic. We wanted to get her a Breeders’ Cup win, and we’ll probably take a different path next year, which will include going against some colts.”
