I love how Marc is ok with people spamming Tamers memes on Reddit but if you breathe a single negative word about Digimon Tri (which he loves and stans hard) on the WtW forums or on the subreddit he will shut you down and get aggressive.

Eh? How? Characters die left and right, often after making poor choices. The TV series ending is anime-original as the manga has been put on eternal hiatus.

That many characters die is sort of irrelevant. The anime at least attempts to explore the male heart, friendship, ambition. While not exactly unique, it's presented in a different way, which I liked.

I'm surprised they're allowed to get away with bastardizing shows like that TBH. I know if my series that got adapted from a light novel/manga was "localized" in another language and was made to push the some tard's political agenda I'd be pretty pissed.

The creators or stuios either don't care or aren't told what they'll do with the sub or dub. This goes back to the ADV dub of Ghost Stories. They claimed the anime was a flop in Japan when it really wasn't. Since the show has a lot of Japanese cultural references, it was easier for them to make a dub full of improved jokes.

Well, yes, if you wanted to dub a comedy you'd have to replace references your audience wouldn't get...

This is just one of the things that will forever make me a subs>dubs person.

Funimation can't force their shitty political hot takes into the subtitles because you can hear what the character is supposed to be saying, so they can't re-write the show, at least to a certain extent. They can still force in super cringe "le epic zoomer humor" in their subtitles, but at least it will still make more sense in context than what they did to Dragon Maid in the dub.

This Digimon stuff is the dumbest shit ever, specifically putting this at the beginning of the translation.

Tamers remains my favorite Digimon season.

How the fuck is calling out cancel culture far right? The only crime of the stage play is that it's pretty corny and ham-fisted, which was probably intentional knowing how Japan view us politics.

This is like that "sus" in the subtitles for Nagatoro, right?

I've never watched/read Nagatoro, but that looks cringy. Just translate it into English most people can understand, I don't need to look up English slang to read these subtitles (unless it was intended by the author).

I have to admit that seeing the actual VAs on stage (except for Nozawa as Guilmon who prerecorded her dialogue I believe) felt cringy, I only really watched for the plot/subs so I could understand the play.

Still, it's not like the message is as bad as western animation like Blue's Clues blatantly featuring a pride parade or every recent series that feels the need to shove in identity politics where it isn't needed.
I don't think I saw many people complaining that Blue's Clues was ruined for them, so why is it suddenly an issue with Tamers, which as stated previously has covered more serious topics than Blue's Clues?

It should be a felony to end a statement on a rhetorical question.

Because those kinds of anime fans started to watch anime in 2015, around the time the “Culture War” and “GamerGate” started.
 
Almost immideatly his wikipedia page is already demonizing him
1628135228201.png

Both sources link to 2 anime news websites, and one of the links to the article is dead either because the link is broken or the article was taken down, the second one points to small article that just talks about what happened with a very light overview of the events.

Notice how the article that's still up makes no effort to provide a source to the post they condemn him for, not even a link to the accusations, is just "source: dude trust me he's antivax covid denier".
It makes me a bit sad that this man always tried to warn future generations of what awaited us with his stories, and now he's being hounded down exactly for still doing that

I hope this means trannies will fuck off from Lainposting too.

The trannies who Lainpost are almost an entirely different sort of tranny than the ones who obsess over animu ticking all of their specific political checkboxes. Still just as insane but a different flavor of insanity.
