Man I have seen WAY too many complaints exactly like that.
>looking into the official English release of Japanese media
>fandom says the translation is horrible
>ask them if the translation is actually bad or if it was just localized
>they don't understand
>pull out illustrated diagram showing what is a bad translation and what is localization
>they laugh and say 'it's a bad translation'
>check it out anyway
>it's localized
#KH localization discourse my fucking beloathed#Actually localization discourse in general my beloathed#8/9 times it’s either the shit that comment said or someone making a mountain of a molehill#And the remaining 1 is only as obnoxious as the people getting pissed off#Not to mention how much of the rage is performative#I have little patience for this kind of thing#(That said yes the 90’s trend of erasing queer characters sucked)#(That’s not what I’m talking about)
