I don't know a thing about Japanese, so can someone knowledgeable explain what the deal is about Buddyroid/Buddyloid, Gord Drive/Gold Drive etc?

I know very little about the Japanese language, but that looks like Japanese Ranguage to me (problems in the Japanese language to tell a "L" from a "R").

There's literally no distinction between an L and R in Japanese (it's more like a consonant that's somewhat in-between the two). Makes translating some stuff kinda tricky.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perception_of_English_/r/_and_/l/_by_Japanese_speakers
"Goto (1971) reports that native speakers of Japanese who have learned English as adults have difficulty perceiving the acoustic differences between English /r/ and /l/, even if the speakers are comfortable with conversational English, have lived in an English-speaking country for extended periods, and can articulate the two sounds when speaking English."
Japanese learn English, weird phenomenon where they fuck up l and r, they do Engrish transrations for Japanese products and instead of it being Gold Drive the translator fucks up and a toy box ends up with Gord Drive, or Buddyroid (buddy android) becomes Buddyloid, or Condor medal ends up being the Condol Legs.
Enter Michael Cohen who then proceeds to use his half-assed Japanese knowledge and his shitbucket nature on Wikipedia to watch over articles 18 hours a day and argue that the names on the English Wikipedia should be the obviously fucked up transrations solely due to them appearing on a Japanese product packaging etc.
Has anyone ever looked in to how there ended up being "consensus" to use the shit names? We know Ryulong is meatpuppeting now, surely he had to be doing it back then.

But someone conversant in both languages would know the correct letter to use, and Cohen's just an idiot who thinks he's smart?

But when the word intended is obviously an English word, like "android" or "gold," it is literally racist to translate them into the ching chong mistransrated version.
Here's the story of how how he was told off by Japanese speakers who were gobsmacked at how he was going into the Japanese version of Wikipedia and fucking up things despite speaking Japanese at a grade school level at best.
From this WikiInAction post.

If you go by the Tumblr definition of racism, that is and Dlagondlagon does that, so he's a hypocrite.

Buddyloid comes from the Super Sentai show Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. It is just a portmanteau of buddy and android. Anyone with common sense can see it should be -roid for android, but because of some products made by Bandai that say "buddyloid" on them Ryulong insists that that is the official, correct spelling. No exceptions. The show also features what Ryulong insisted were Metaloids, which were monsters created from a metavirus. Again, common sense says that metavirus + android = metaroid, but Ryulong is Ryulong.
Gord Drive comes from the recently completed Kamen Rider Drive. The term was never actually used in show, it's just appeared in merchandise created by Bandai. The suspected Ryulong IP has reverted edits that have changed Gord back to Gold using the toys as justification. Oh, and the one who originally made the change to Gord Drive? Our favorite Ryulong meatpuppet Kitsunelaine.
Ryulong abused his admin powers to ban dissenters. He maintained an iron grip on the toku pages. Only edits he personally approved of would be allowed to stay. Ryulong was allowed to do this because it's toku. Who gives a shit about toku? No one. Ryulong's approved edits eventually became the status quo. When he was finally banned the consensus was for maintaining the status quo. Ryulong's friends also protected the pages and banned the people trying to make changes as trolls and "single purpose accounts"

Well, "Buddyloid" is on the "real" Wikipedia.

This tells you how seriously you can take this bullshit when one autistic retard can change something to something obviously wrong and it can stay that way for years.

Reminder that maintaining this engrish was so important to Cohen that he has continued to obsessively watch the pages and gets people to go meatpuppet for him.

Now it's at the point that it's staying just because it's been that way for years. After all, if it was wrong wouldn't it have been fixed ages ago?

Were those IPs editing any of the same articles that Ryulong did? That would be the perfect evidence to present.
EDIT: yes, Ryulong did edit the List Of Kamen Riders Characters wikipage.

He was active on the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure page and he's the one who created the List of Kamen Rider Drive characters page. Before he was banned Ryulong tried to have the Power Rangers Dino Charge page deleted because it wasn't officially announced yet by Saban or Nickelodeon. The announcement came after the banning. And finally, Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger is a brand new show that wasn't around before Ryulong's banning.

This talk page discussion, from right before until long after Ryulong's ban, helps explain it.
Just because "Buddy Roid" appeared in the freaking series is no reason that it should be right-it's not a reliable source. Also, Hipocrite shows up right after the ban starts and Kitsunelaine shows up in November, coincidentally.Ryulong said:

Compared to your list, both Ryulong and the IP editor use "FFS" as "for fuck's sake" when angry.
So the evidence is
* same articles
* same type of articles
* both frequently and rapidly revert changes by others
* use similar acronyms
* . . . do we have evidence of Ryulong reverting L-v-R edits?

Shit tons.
And hey, looks like another Ryulong IP I didn't notice before. 2601:140:8200:DE:D05B:19CC:B8A7:6F2F
There's another page that the IP and Ryulong both edited.

There's also been this long misconception about L and R being interchangeable in the Japanese language.
