Nut is problematic and ableist now

Crazy too

Everything is problematic.

These ******* idiots are so stupid that they don't realise it's not about the word, it's about the meaning.
"Crazy" people are called "crazy", "nut", and "loon", that's the word used to refer to them.
Become successful at COMPLETELY changing that to "wild" and "Bozo" and guess what, the words used to refer to the SAME people in the SAME mental state are now "wild" and "bozo". So those words are now equally as "problematic" as the previous ones.

What are you gonna do now, change them to something else? And the cycle continues until we are no longer allowed to speak..

Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten. Already, in the Eleventh Edition, we're not far from that point. But the process will still be continuing long after you and I are dead. Every year fewer and fewer words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller. Even now, of course, there's no reason or excuse for committing thoughtcrime. It's merely a question of self-discipline, reality-control. But in the end there won't be any need even for that. The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect. Newspeak is Ingsoc and Ingsoc is Newspeak.

Apparently the recent announcement of an SNK vs Capcom port contains censorship of Mai's boobs in the west. Plus a nice "we're sorry" disclaimer in both English and Japanese.

At long last, Mini-Moni. Shakatto Tambourine! da Pyon! has been translated. It's the only game developed by Sega that was released on the PS1.

A direct improvement the only way it could be better is removing her entirely.

https://togetter.com/li/2290050
The site seems to collect and repost popular Twitter threads. Stuff like this is a common thing on the japweb; there are sites that do the same thing with 2ch threads.

The tweets are talking about the way English localizers do whatever they want in localization: completely rewriting lines, changing character personalities and names, inserting dumb jokes, and all the other sorts of things documented in this thread. The author says he visits English speaking boards sometimes and proceeds to repost images found in common anti-localizer threads from English boards. He complains about the way normal dialogue gets translated into faux Old (Middle) English and how fans praise the literary style without realizing it's both full of errors and an unfaithful translation.

The above is all from page one. It apparently goes on for ten pages total. @Oyster Sauce, if there are any you have questions about, I can go through the whole thing.

I got the implication he was a developer himself from the source :scratch:

Can you give me something more than that to go on? A cursory inspection of his various accounts didn't reveal any developer connections, but I could maybe search more effectively if I had a hint.

Alright, well I'll post the other accounts of his I've found:

https://www.twitch.tv/wotn_weisskaiser
https://bsky.app/profile/weisskaiser.bsky.social
https://forums.penny-arcade.com/profile ... eisskaiser

Judging from his PA posting, I suspect he is not Japanese, but I may be wrong. I couldn't find any developer connections.

Now if that isn't the most blatant "how you do fellow gaming kids!" made so far then I don't know what it is.

SkyNet needs to replace the current "localizers" ASAP.
