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.

Oh boy this Resetera article sound like an incel wet dream... looking at the others articles the whole site seems laughable 🤣 🤣

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?
