Ok, after skimming this thread - of course it's about weeb ****, and not even the good kind.
Degenerate weeb trash should not be localized anyway and instead must be consigned to the trash dumpster. I don't care how many words you have for faggotry, it's all degenerate subhuman trash. Japan has really gone to **** after they have lost WW2..... I jest, they were degenerate even before that.

The Elf		That looks good, what you're cooking. What is it?
The Cook	Some blood sausage with apples.
The Dwarf	Hehe.
The Narrator	What a fine picture in a picture there.

► French Text

Ça a l'air bon, ce que vous cuisinez. C'est quoi ?
Du boudin aux pommes.
Héhé.
Que voilà une belle mise en abyme.

In French, blood sausage (boudin) can be used to call sb, usually a girl, ugly or fat.
The Dwarf hates the Elf, that's why he snickers.
The Narrator either acknowledges or mocks the Dwarf.

English

The Elf		Mmh! What's that you're cooking?​
The Cook	Peaches'n'cream.​
The Dwarf	...he he!​ 						
The Narrator	That's my fourth wall!​ 

Likely a sexual flirt toward the elf (Note the style of spelling)
See Russian version for reference.

German

The Elf		That looks really good, what you're cooking. What is it?
The Cook	Pea-sausage stew with fatty sausage.
The Dwarf	Now that is something!						
The Narrator	That's my 4th wall!

► German text

Das sieht aber gut aus, was Sie da kochen, was ist das?
Erbswursteintopf mit fetter Wurst.
Na, das ist doch mal was!
Das ist meine vierte Wand!

They removed the joke but the dwarf's voice didn't match,
the text was "Na, das ist doch mal was!", but the dubbed voice was still "Hehe"
Also the narrator's line becames pointless. (Unless @Finarfin has other interpretations?)

Chinese

The Elf		Eh! What are you cooking?
The Cook	Peaches and cream. (All is wonderful)
The Dwarf	...he he!						
The Narrator	Count as my nudge at the 4th wall!

► Chinese Text

呃！你在做什么？​
桃子和奶油（一切都很美好）。​
...嘿嘿！
算我推一下第四面墙！​

The literal translation and added parenthesis renders the whole thing meaningless.
I'm a native speaker and even I don't get it.
Though I do not rule out the possibilty that the elf line's could be interpted as
"Eh! What are you doing?", then mention of cream and wonderful inplies the cook is...
Hard to believe trash like that will get approved, but who knows.

Russian

The Elf		Mmm! Can you cook something yummy for me? 
The Cook	...Cream pie. 
The Dwarf	...ba-dum-tss! 
The Narrator	...That joke cost us our PG rating, by the way.

► Russian Text

М-м-м! А мне приготовите что-нибудь вкусненькое?​
...Кремовый пирог.​

Gotta be honest. This humor is so ****, I'd tell the devs to remove it and make it a generic fantasy game. And yes, that forth wall sentence doesn't make sense since I don't get what's the joke here. Also Erbswursteintopf mit fetter wurst is literally saying sausage twice unless he means he is going to **** in it and feed it to the elf.

That's probably not even a dogshit localization, just an example of the modern leftist trend of pretending anybody thought about "gender roles" outside of tumblr before 2020. That's obviously a feminist take — a female character saying that it doesn't matter that she's a woman because she can still kick your ***, basic '90s girlboss trope — but nobody would think it was a ****** take without extensive academic brainrot.

But the important thing to understand is that back in the day, freaks and deviants like this were considered to be VILLAINS. It's not that they weren't in the media. It's that they were not portrayed as being "good" in any way.

Attempts by Queers to subvert Carmilla make it patently obvious what's going on. If you read the ******* book (definite recommend for anyone who likes vampire horror) it's obvious that the titular villain is a lesbian because she's evil and evil because she's a lesbian. She even tries to fool her victim away from Jesus and into New Age practices in a rather cunning way.

Woke people don't exactly have a love affair with Israel or the Israelites. Some politico in the Green Party over here adopted a Jewish name to "get in touch with his roots" while sucking off Mohammedans - the very people who massacred his supposed ancestors.

Once again, the problem is not localization changing a bad script because weebisms are stupid, it's that libtards are in charge of it.

Indeed. Localisations can be better than the source material. I cite the Mother 3 fan translation and the English version of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn as the top two examples. The original English script for Thousand-Year Door is also a competitor, even if it did also remove a chalk outline for no reason. Vivian was de-pozzed, and there was a neat reference to Superstar Saga slipped in with the Chuckola Cola.

I don't think the outline was removed for no reason, or as part of the localization. Apparently all subsequent re-releases regardless of language did that, probably because they just wanted to remove the violence entirely, rather than because of localization.

It just means that the "seedy" elements of Rogueport were censored in all later releases. It's like how the Godawful localisation of Tokyo Mirage Sessions became the canon version and was later used in the Japanese Switch version as well - marking one of the only times that the Wii U version sold better, despite the difference in install base. (Which I find ********, the Wii U was unique, the Switch was just a crap Steam Deck)

And yes, I did hard install the uncensor patch for that game. FTPing it over took ages. And the Project Zero Wii U release too - another example of a game improved by motion controls.

From a Leaked Game Freak document:

Actually, this is pretty funny. While the concern raised is that depicting **** may 'contribute to bias against LGBT' and cause extra localization work in countries like Russia that forbid such depictions, the solution proposed for the accompanying example, a male character who speaks like a woman and calls himself the 'Viking Queen', is to change him into a woman. Pokemon No Alphabets! (I'm not sure how much impact this had, though, since recent Pokemon games seem to be full of all sorts of weird man-woman abominations.)

I was curious about the changes made to Ninja Cop Saizou when it was localized as Wrath of the Black Manta, so I did a bit of digging.

► Screenshots for comparison.

The plot was changed in Wrath of the Black Manta to be about taking down drug dealers who are trying "to dominate the world!"

They're a dead end, unless you want to... dominate the world!.webp

In Ninja Cop Saizou the shadowy organization is still trying to take over the world, but they're kidnapping people to turn into brainwashed killers to do it.

---

This boss and the second stage were both removed from Wrath of the Black Manta.

There are missing bosses and locations in Wrath of the Black Manta.webp

---

Other bosses are swapped out with a different fight, including the final boss. For example, the "Voodoo Warrior" replaces the "Lightning Man" boss fight.

The Voodoo Warrior replaces the Lightning Man boss.webp

---

Saizou isn't some nameless ninja, instead he is a New York cop out to stop the people who abducted his son Sasuke. Whereas In Wrath of the Black Manta, his master sends him to rescue a kidnapped student named Taro.

They've taken Taro!.webp

---

In both games, you can interrogate enemies wearing red. Many of them just say they don't know anything and Black Manta lets them go. However in Ninja Cop, someone shoots these guys before they can talk instead.

He was just about to talk.webp

Here's a list of differences I noticed between the two versions:

Wrath of the Black Manta	Ninja Cop Saizou
Has higher quality art for its cutscenes.	Its cutscene art isn't as detailed, but it has a goofy charm to it.
Both games have a different soundtrack.	Both games have a different soundtrack.
Manta is a random ninja deployed by his master.	Saizou is a cop sent by John, the police commissioner.
Manta's master's youngest student Taro is kidnapped.	Saizou's son Sasuke is kidnapped.
The randomly scattered notes are unsigned wisdom of the streets.	Saizou's son leaves him notes everywhere to help solve the case.
First level is called the Waterfront.	First level is called the slums.
No arrow notes.	An arrow is fired with one of Sasuke's notes tied to it at the start of each level in a cutscene.
Manta's legs are visible when he jumps.	When Saizou jumps, his legs are replaced with lines to emphasize his ninja speed.
Manta just threatens thugs to get them to talk	Saizou uses a some kind of 'truth drug' on an uncooperative goon to gain information. (Not really in line with Black Manta's anti-drug message.)
No one shoots the goons when they are talking. If someone says "I don't know" to Manta, then chances are they took a bullet in the japanese version.	Sometimes an unknown third party shoots the goon Saizou is interrogating before he can talk.
First boss is named "Tiny" and has different art than the Ninja Cop version.	First boss is named "Morozov".
The first boss attacks by jumping and causing bricks to fall from the ceiling.	Along with the jump and brick attack, the first boss punches firing a projectile.
Black Manta's master initiates him into additional ninja arts between stages in a cutscene.	New ninja arts are rewarded "For a Job Well Done" in the stage's round score summary screen without a cutscene.
Black manta receives "Art of Invisibility" and the "Art of the Spider" for clearing stage 1	Saizou only gets one new ninja skill, the "Heat Haze Art". (The "Earth Art", which is the Manta's "Art of the Spider", is gained in stage 2 instead.)
Tiny is patched up and sent back to their headquarters.	Morozov is explicitly stated as being killed by Saizou... although his body is retrieved and taken to their hideout.
The second level is cut from the game. Manta jumps straight to Saizou's third stage.	Stage 2 is another urban stage that sees Siazou climbing onto the city's high-rise's roofs.
The Eyeball boss from Ninja Cop's stage 3 has been cut from the game. Manta fight's Saizou stage 2 ninja pillar boss instead.	Stage 3's boss is a flying eyeball thing that fires projectiles which explode in a puff of smoke when they hit the ground. The flying eyeball is stated as being "A bioweapon made from Saizou's cells" , so the world of Ninja Cop is getting a bit crazier. (Which is great.)
Stage 3's boss is the "Voodoo Warrior" fought in front of two giant skulls.	Stage 4's boss is the "Lightning Man" that is fought in a high tech room.
Stage 4 has three wrecking ball hazards at the start.	Stage 5 is the same as Manta's stage 4, but has only two wrecking balls at the start.
Clearing Stage 4 grants the arts of "Lightining" and "Teleportation".	Clearing Stage 5 only grants the "Leaf Art" skill.
The evil organization is distributing drugs using the kidnapped children they brainwashed as dealers.	The evil organization is taking kids to turn them into trained killers via brainwashing.
There is a note in Stage 5 that mentions needing "Four arts to defeat El Toro".	No such note as the boss isn't El Toro.
The final boss is El Toro who is oddly hiding in what looks like a large Jukebox. When the music player is struck, he emerges with Taro as a hostage and must be defeated by using the correct ninja arts.	The final boss is fought beneath what looks like a massive Zeppelin. He runs off while goons jump out of the airship to fight Saizou. Once the thugs are all dead, the boss reveals himself to actually be an alien! This is a completely different fight from the one in Wrath of the Black Manta.
There seem to be a few extra guys in red shirts to interrogate.	Less red guys to speak with in a some of the stages.

Changes to the plot to include the anti-drug messaging aside, the missing level and bosses sadly renders the Wrath of the Black Manta the inferior of the two versions.

In a perfect world, we'd get both the high quality Black Manta art for the cutscenes and the off the wall plot of Ninja Cop in one game. (Although I must admit, Saizou's goofy art did grow on me by the end.)
