Why do English localizers (people who translate foreign media) feel the need to insert political bullshit into their translations?

[Anonymous]

A game came out recently called Yunyun syndrome, which is getting positive reviews on Steam. But when us gamers dug into the game we found the original and found out that something like 50% of the lines in the game were mistranslated on purpose

For example the Japanese word yamero means Stop. They translated it to "End Fascism"

The developers released corrected translations, they are shown below.

Old: END FASCISM
New: SOMEBODY STOP THIS
Old: i will NEVER be victimized under fascism again
New: their Command Spells ain’t got nothing on me!
Old: i’d cut my uterus out if i cld
New: don’t want em anyway
Old: mfin jabroni
New: loser
Old: tech bros are So Gross
New: welcome to the new era y'all
Old: who TF wants kids anywayz
New: Not interested anyway

I can't understand a localizer being that freaking disrespectful to the media they are translating.

This didn't just happen with Games though. Anime too. Crunchy Roll, Specifically a VA and director of their translations "jamie marchi" has been known for drastically altering the translations to fit her political views

«Dragon Maid» Localization: In 2017, fans criticized Marchi for inserting a joke referencing "the patriarchy" into the English script for Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, which was not present in the original Japanese dialogue. Critics argued this changed the characterization of Lucoa to fit a modern feminist agenda, while defenders framed it as creative localization.

Accusations of Ideological Changes: Critics have accused Marchi of intentionally altering dialogue to inject personal political or social ideologies into shows.

And whats worse, she has admitted to and claimed to be proud for what she calls modernization of the original script.

This is a real issue that actually pisses off the makers of said media. This is not a troll. So to the shit stain pink anon that said "oh you again" your comment is gone for posting a nonsense response. Please stfu, the adults are taking.

That's not somebody sneaking some personal flavor in, that's someone whos mission was to propagandize the material.

And I bet if you dig around enough you'll be able to find common threads of connection that can also be traced back to a source of funding.

Agreed and people wonder why not only are fans pissed about it, but the authors and creators are pissed about it.

I the game above they are going to release a patch with the corrections I listed.

Ideological polarization and radicalization went to far. Those people who do that don't comprehend anymore they are exactly people they despise and want to eliminate with all means.
You can't discuss with most of them anymore because they see enemies everywhere and everyone who dares just to disagree in slightest manner is an enemy.

These commies are just this disgusting. This is why you have to be careful to check if a person is woke. Woke garbage will put this babyish shit into anything they touch. They are not to be trusted.

They will try to misuse any opportunity to spread their ideas. Look at south park and shallow family guy.
