There was something of similar nature with Samurai Maiden (a yuri action game from D3 Publisher) that corrected all the "Gen Z etc." lingo back to actual English words, a couple of days after the initial release.
The gen z line hardly even makes sense. These people are retarded.
Pretty mid tbh, it's a nice tech demo but lacking depth
That's nuts, like its so blatantly not what he says you don't even need to know Japanese to realise its wrong lmao
I don't like defending woke idiots either but this is what you get when people obsess too much over "owning people" on the internet.
All you have to do is have a woke/true believer be hired as HR. The higher ups don't speak Japannese so they can't tell what is happening, the manga/ videogame Japannese author doesn't speak English so they don't know what is happening, and the crap sells just enough to keep going.
If we get to the point where something like that is accurate and free to use (fuck it, i'd even pay unreasonable amounts of money for it) i'll probably won't leave my house for the next 20 years. I both dread and yearn for that day.
They probably have a woke boss, simple as that.
Adding to this, even when they do speak the language, they don't read forums, social media, or image boards. They instead go to game journos and other big name sites.
In the case of the manga being AI translated that I pointed out earlier, it was the Japanese company themselves doing the translation, I believe. If they are just using AI to handle most of the translation work, theoretically, they wouldn't need to go through a western localization team at all. They would just need an editor to oversee the translation, which would allow them to cut out the middle man. However, the dynamics will different once you start talking about audio visual media, like anime and video games. For manga and books, you could theoretically just get away with an AI translation. For anime, though, you still need to handle dubs, which would have to go through an oversees publishing company. Unless the Japanese companies machine translate the script, give to the recording studio, and tell them "Have the actors read this, make no changes to the script unless its to match lip flaps", you would still run into the same problem. For video games, things might be easier to control because, unlike in anime, companies handle their own localization instead of relying on third party distributors, but the overseas branches of many Japanese companies are just as woke as other companies, so they would still need to be kept on a short leash.
At the very least it would be very easy to spot editor changes since suddenly a single sentence changes massively into a paragraph.
Ace Attorney seems like the kinda series to be peppered with completely untranslatable Japanese cultural references.
