Previous thread was locked without reason and for who knows why, so I made another one.

Professional voice actress and writer Jamie Marchi just admitted that she purposely mistranslates every single anime that she ever works on.

Sooo this was apparently at least partially done by her.

Yikes. I don't watch much anime anymore buuut hearing about this is especially off-putting. Glad I only watch raws.

In reference to some of the issues mentioned in the previous topic, the online forum Resetera was just exposed for being a cabal for professional translators, journalists, community managers, game developers, professional writers, and corporate executives.

EDIT: In other news, Patreon and Australia want to ban anime.

In the most recent brand of news, Funimation is now "collaborating" with Japanese studios to make anime "more worldly and appealing" and will be helping to give more money to the creators by having Funimation acting as the middleman in all sales and business matters rather than having the fans import everything directly from Japan. No, seriously, that's what their statement literally says:

Quote from Funimaton

This means that subscriptions to Funimation and purchases of home video releases, digital downloads, and merchandise supervised by Funimation will help creators in Japan more directly than having a finished title licensed as-is would.

incel

What does that word even mean? Going by what I know, it's definition is in reference to the ugly bastard, it's usage indicates "Person I don't like", and is presented as the new "cool" way to call someone a virgin. So, what is it?
