That's only one show from one localizer and they and many others have been doing this for almost 10 years.



I checked both links (until the start of 2024). I see a number of examples for the jokey-joke type translations, but not for the political ones. The only politically charged mistranslation I see there is the Blue Box one from April, which honestly looks accidental. The Twitter gloatings screenshotted seem to squarely pertain to the jokey-joke type stuff too at a skim.

Gonna stand by this angle being way overblown. Thanks for at least bringing receipts though nevertheless.


if censorship, subversion and cultural rewriting is not "political" then i don't know what "political" is. stop enabling this behavior by making excuses and assuming good faith when they literally tell you to your face there bad intentions.
