"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

English dubs of anime 9/10 are goofy as hell because they have to make English VA’s talk a mile a minute to match up with the Japanese. My understanding is that the Japanese language allows dialogue to be much more “dense” than if it were in English so any dub is always gonna sound weird.
Actually a legitimately interesting observation that I'm surprised I never made the connection to. I can't tell you how many times I've been looking into an old jrpg I enjoy, only to find the story was gutted in the english localization, not for censorship, but because dialogue-heavy rpgs tend to tax cartridge memory already, and japanese text can simply say far more with less characters.
 
Again how many times does it have to be said in this thread that nobody cares if josh likes or watches anime. I just don't want to hear him bitch about something he doesn't care for or use the worst examples of it he can think of, just like your music example imagine liking Slipknot then some old prick spergs at you for liking it.
You know what I'd do if some old prick sperged at me for liking Slipknot? Laugh, call him a boomer and move on with my day. Likewise whenever Josh starts talking about some fat woman or something I'm not especially interested in I skip past it, or go make a drink if I'm catching it live. Dude has to talk for 4-6 hours per week, there's bound to be some stuff I don't like or agree with

So why do you keep endlessly sperging about it if you don't care? If you don't like it, don't fucking listen to it.

Yup. This is the reason almost every speedrunner plays on the Japanese version of the game. The Japanese version needs a lot fewer characters to convey the same info which usually translates to a few frames saved.

In every other online community, that cultish tribal energy manifests by jannies banning everyone who doesn't like what they like, but on Kiwi Farms it manifests by users losing their absolute shit just because the head janny doesn't like what they like.

Was it the movie Kung pow (the old parody kung fu movie), that had that scene where the joke was the guy saying like a word or two and the subtitles going on for a minute or two.

Now Josh NEEDS to watch this show. I need his opinion on Jewish-Echidna relations.
Give us the gum road content jersh you fuck. Also I hope someone does a Ugandan knuckles dub.
I can't force Josh to do anything. That is an impossible task. Even Syphius would give up. It's why I don't try. A one post recommendation is not forcing anyone.

This conversation has gone on farther than I ever thought it would to the point I'm bringing up GRRM. Apparently he's never watched game of thrones which... ok. I'm now questioning what if any TV or movies Josh even watches, since everyone was watching game of thrones at the time. That is more interesting at this point than the anime tbh. I wonder if he's watched Chuck.
I think it’s been established that no body knows what the fuck josh was doing during some of his early years, but it definitely wasn’t being exposed to all the same shit good or bad that seemingly the rest of got in the early 2000s. It’s weird because there’s like gaps to what he’s aware of and what hes never seen before. Like the nigger just spent random segments of each week in stasis for years or something.

It wouldn’t be MATI if he didn’t spend at least 10-20mins sperging about a topic he knows little to nothing about. I think he’s fucking with people sometimes or maybe he needs that random hit of rage to feel alive.

Why the fuck would he spend hundreds of hours learning minutiae about something he hates? If he thinks it's a shit sandwich he's going to quit after the first bite, or even before it.

Look I’m not here to judge anyone’s learning disabilities; I think it’s funny shit, especially when it’s topics I’m more familiar with. And sometimes it sparks things like the cheese wars.

Although sometimes we end up with weeb shit and regret everything.
 
Saw this posted in response to that

It always amazes me how people go out of their way to talk like a retard. It was one thing when we were all on keyboards, but every smartphone comes with autocorrect installed by default. It's actually really really hard to intentionally not capitalize the first letter in a sentence with autocorrect enabled. It's incredible, they can literally have the tools coded in to act like white people, and they'll still throw them back in your face and go back to ooking and eeking and flinging their shit wildly.

it's just dey culcha, wite boi. say it louder for the ppl in the back!!!😭😱🙌👏🤗😈

Since a debate won’t happen between Null and BlowBlacks. I have created a scenario on what it would be like if Null and Bowblax were talking on stream.
Bowblax would lose his shit over the hecking transphobia

Using your example of GOT, if the entire genre of medieval fantasy was filled with weird fans that fixate on the incest and underage shit, would you not reconsider your stance? Would you not be trying to at the very least put some distance between you and them? Wouldn't you start wondering what in this genre is attracting this crowd? I know it's always possible to attract a periphery demographic you don't intend(Star Trek is infamous for attracting pedos), but it's getting harder and harder to argue the people that make anime aren't aware of what they're doing.
fantasy fans were famously horrified by pedophilia interestingly enough; this author and her husband did quite a lot to damage their extended communities
 
Late but I really loved the Onion segment, I really like their videos pre 2010. In 2010 they started doing the more cringe shit, videos about group sex and republicans liking gay sex n shit but old Onion was very good. Their most recent articles I remember reading was "Goofy murdered Ron Desantis with a golf club" and "White House discovers new number system to keep Gaza Death Toll zero" both of which are extremely cringe. Shame that I have to side with the Christcucks at Babylon Bee for comedy.
 
In that example you watch the dub because it is shit, in fact the original is supposed to be taken seriously. It’s the equivalent of saying “watch this English dub bro”, and then recommending a DBZ comedic fandub.

No, actually it's the opposite. Japanese has a significantly lower information-per-syllable transfer rate than English, hence why it's spoken faster. Japanese people have this weird complex about their language being the mostaru superiar ranguage which is probably where that misconception comes from.
The real reason English anime dubs are goofy as hell is because the dialogue is goofy as hell.
