Game Censorship & Localization General Thread

"A miserable pile of lies" was probably him telling on himself.
Blaustein didn't even write the line himself. "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!" is actually a random quote from French writer André Malraux, which in turn is a paraphrase of his earlier quote:
"Pour l’essentiel, l’homme est ce qu’il cache : un misérable petit tas de secrets."
"Essentially, man is what he hides: a miserable little pile of secrets."
 
Someone found the Gametrannypros discord:
The Dragon Baby localization hole continues to get deeper. Co-founder "Sam" Burton runs a community for localizers called HonYaks, taken from the Japanese word "honyaku," in the form of a discord server where "the herd" (very cult-like) gathers to network, share "tips" & job openings, mentor new blood, & discuss all things localization while professing to be welcoming of LGBTQIAP++.It appears to be an exclusive space where applicants are vetted via a form that requires social media links & pronouns, which if being connected to Dragon Baby wasn't enough, says everything one needs to know about the caliber of individuals within "the herd."These localizers are an insidious group that have infected the industry for far too long. If nothing else, they are very good at sticking together & promoting each other to ensure they continue to fail upward.This information needs to be spread far & wide so that the Japanese become more aware of the efforts being taken by these localizers to corrupt their media. This group must be rightfully branded as destructive & anyone involved in HonYaks needs to become unemployable in the translation industry.Japanese creators/companies have to take a zero tolerance approach to the vandalism of their media. The bad elements must be purged so that faithful translation can become the norm.

It's the exact same for the manga/anime TL industry in their unlisted groomcords. Work has dried up more and more over the years and they circled the wagons giving each other jobsand choke out others portfolios. Trannies and libtards got control and gatekeep anyone who doesn't play ball and excommunicate those who step out of line.
 
"Join the Herd".

Yup they aren't hiding it. LGBTism is a moral-based cult like Abrahamic Religion.


EDIT:

Great. And it's coming in the SAME YEAR as well (so probably only 2 years of development).

Chances are the same Jews behind Yunyun Syndrome are behind it too

The Japanese needs to treat these people like they do with Christians in the 18th and 19th century because otherwise they will be facing a full-blown cultural extinction event.

I bet Toby Fox feels vindicated right now on refusing to make an official translation for languages he doesnt speak
Except that you can see that all other languages managed to keep their spaghetti in their pockets and followed the source. I think English localizers are the worst when it comes to making shit up. And I don't even really want to defend other translations too much because the whole industry is fucked and full of wokies, but instead of changing everything to cringe memes, they prefer to ruin their own language with made-up gender neutral grammar. For which I also blame trannies and non binaries, I never saw anyone care about this prior to 2017.

I can't speak for every game, but I think translations back then were pretty O.K.

Example: Megaman X4, for all of it's VA cringe, still stayed somewhat within the realm of similarity to the JP script (there's an undub hack of X4 you can use for comparison).

The most extreme drastic change I can think of are the Ace Attorney games where they just decided to make everything 'murica themed with pop-culture references sprinkled here and there. Back then I didn't think everything of it, and the worst reacting it ever game me was a groan and/or eye-roll.

If you look back the old versions of localization are actually insanely bad and likely just as bad as now for today's standards, it's just back then there wasn't really a way to know because of a lack of info (which is presumably a major reason why back then censors aren't really subtle at it) and people's nostalgia bias making them downplay the severity of the censorship.

But at least those were funny in a lolcow manner because of how outlandish and insane they are. The sort of subtle compromises they are doing here are NOT funny to begin with and makes it very clear that their goal is to violate. It's kind of the difference between letting Chris-Chan handle the localization of a game compared to letting 44 year old DarkSydePhil do it. You would rather Chris-Chan do it rather than 44 year old DSP because at least Chris-Chan can be unintentionally funny while DSP will fill it with his usual shit and dick jokes, advertisements to give him money, woke comments and him going on a meltdown mid translation.
It's hard to know about those without any examples. I played (too many) jrpgs in my childhood and I could understand them fine (granted I'm not a native English speaker), the few rants I remember seeing for non woke stuff is usually very minor cherrypicked stuff rather than changes that outright changes the plot and characters.
I'll always be pissed that she essentially fucked over video games for years and years and just walked away unscathed. Her rot is still in the industry today and most likely will be for years and years to come.
You can be happy that she is probably assmad that ger grift was taken over by other feminists and trannies. Plus her damage was mainly confined to indie circles, since the feminization of gaming was part of the overall takeover of female middle managers over corporate America.
 
Don’t know where else to post it, but some still defend Anita Sarkeesian
I bet she's the one who gets all the revisionism from people still butthurt at GG because she is the most clean (despite being a factual con artist) of the 3 big women and "women" at the front center of GG (Zoe Quinn practically murdered someone under their own terms, and John Walker Flynt went full TTD out of self loathing, and while he also pushed someone to suicide like Zoe Quinn, and that person explicitly naming him in his suicide card, that kill gets blamed on this site for some reason)

Look at Probotector (especially the Probotector version of Contra Hard Corps), Digimon World on the PAL which literally broke the game, Castlevania on the NES and SOTN which literally changes the names of demons and religious items into something else in addition to the infamous "What is a Man", and then there's the Carmageddon 64 port which is arguably the first example of a publisher "bending the knee" in addition to zombies and aliens replacing humans in the EU versions. The rest I don't remember but it was still frequent in places like Germany where entire scenes and blood are outright removed because they are a "tad too violent".

There are also entire games such as Doom and GTA that you can be arrested for just OWNING in Commonwealth countries (more common than woke censorship or just censoring in-general). Atlus did not release anything in the West before Shin Megami Tensei III for a good reason.

And then there's the hundreds upon thousands of Bible edutainment games made by companies that clearly don't know or don't care about what people actually like.

There's no subtlety whatsoever but at least it's funny to see.

This would've fit better in the Gamergate or the Social Justice Warrior threads, but whatever. It's crazy how shitlibs never actually explain how she was right.
Leftists operate only on blind faith in their leaders.

Sarkeesian was good for gaming because they were told she was good for gaming.

Ignore the collapsing sales, studio closures and user reviews indicating everything her cohort influenced has failed and repeat the mantra.

Final Fantasy 4 was basically rewritten, to the point they have a term for old SNES era games that were rewritten based on the guy that did FF2/3 -- Woosleyisms. It's the exact same thing they're doing now, except Woosley actually could write, tried to at least aim in the general direction of the original script, and didn't have his brain rotted by millennial writing, AO3/tumblr, and buffy the vampire slayer.

For example, the infamous "You Spoony Bard" line of FF2 was technically a translation but he picked "spoony" as it was a really archaic term.

There's video evidence of Anita literally working with a Pick Up Artist and Multi Level Marketing scam, basically an Andrew Tate without the steroids and less obvious rape. And even post-GamerGate she's literally running a woke consultant grift but is very intentionally keeping attention down on that. Basically a Sweet Baby Inc / Dragonbaby / why are all these fucks obsessed with children / etc thing, where she goes to your gamedev studio, says that's a really nice game you have here but it doesn't have enough niggers / faggots / ugly women in it, would be a shame if someone called it problematic on Twitter. That's probably one reason she's being protected by the horde -- she's still an axema'am for them.

Zoe Quinn not only murdered someone under her own terms, infamously under her own terms ("being unfaithful = rape") she was a serial rapist. To say nothing of everything else she did. The murder was a bridge too far, as was her taking that Tingle game collab fundraiser and running off with the money to get trains run on her in Japan, so... think she's finally no longer useful to the horde but still has too much dirt on people to be canceled outright. Despite repeated arguments to the contrary, she comes from an old, old, powerful New York Democrat family and money, so she'll be protected until she decides to run for office someday in the next few decades, I'm sure.

John Walker Flynt was always a sociopath that went down whatever path he felt would give him the main character life he expected, now that Trannies and Woke are on their way out he's going back to being a conservative. Remember, he worked for Trent Lott, back when his conservative parents were trying to do something, anything, to get him to not be a fucking screwup. There's a Twitter copypasta out there of how the left is going to pretend that Woke never existed and unless you have an encyclopedic database of the 2020s to call upon immediately on demand they'll pretend you're making it all up or it was Republicans going crazy, and Flynt is going to be riding that wave.
 
Atlus did not release anything in the West before Shin Megami Tensei III for a good reason.
They actually did. Jack Bros(peak SMT), that infamous localization of the first Persona, Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, a game in the Last Bible series(title was changed to be less spicy, of course), and the GBA Devil Children games. Devil Children was called Demikids for obvious reasons. A localization for the first Devil Summoner was also planned. Not sure how they'd be able to sanitize that one to prevent controversy. Persona 2 Innocent Sin was going to get one, too. Atlus didn't have the money to bring both P2 games to the West, though.

Atlus was not doing well financially prior to Persona 3. It's possible that they could get away with an unsanitized SMT game back then. The first Deception has you help Satan and no one cared.

Oh forgot those. I'm only thinking about the mainline/last bible games back then. And yeah that Persona 1 example is another reason why localizers were just as bad, if not even worse back then, they are just fundamentally incapable of spreading EU Law beyond Europe.

I don't think it could happen during the Satanic Panic era. For context if the backlash against Pokemon back then was this bad, I don't want to know what will happen to SMT.

I would say it's less of "millennial writing, AO3/tumblr, and buffy the vampire slayer" but more of a Globalist one world agenda that promises utopia and heaven but pushes nothing but ugliness, fake tolerance and hate.

I don't know if this is too much of a long stretch, but I think that Sarkeesian/Zoe Quinn/GamerGate is part of an infinite disaster domino/acceleration chain disaster scenario that will eventually lead to normalized Digital ID Internet and full-blown collapse, WWIII and globalist collectivization. Because as far as I know everything we have now erupted from GamerGate.

Ted Woolsey didn't work on Final Fantasy IV (II), he got hired by Square shortly after it came out specifically to avoid another localization mess like it from happening again.
The original translation was done in-house by one Kaoru Moriyama, who was Square's PR publicist at the time, with two others (K. Okahisa and H. Takahashi) credited alongside her. She had previously translated Final Fantasy Adventure (Seiken Densetsu) and Final Fantasy Legend II (SaGa 2) as well as the unreleased localization of the actual Final Fantasy II on the NES, and she later directed Woolsey on the Secret of Mana localization.
