Introducing the phrase "found family" to fandom spaces was a mistake. Now half of fandon wants to force their "found families" into neat little boxes like "this is the dad, this is the mum, this is the fun uncle, these ones are siblings", even though the entire POINT of found family as a concept was to reject traditional family structures as the norm and rigid ideas of what a family even is, and then they get big mad whenever even dares suggest something romantic or sexual could happen between two completely unrelated mature adult characters they've arbitrarily decided are "parent/child" or "siblings" based on basically NOTHING in canon and start accusing that potential relationship of being incestuous. That's not how that works! That's not how any of this works!!

Tip jar

[benjaycaptain]

Machine Translation: Player-kun…. Why would you defend King Greedō? He knows nothing but greed and ignores his own people’s suffering. That’s not how a king should be!

Official Translation: Hey… tell me, why are you defending King Avaricean? He’s no king… All he loves is the sound of gold dropping into his coffers, as he leaves his people to rot!

Twitter Localization Discoursist: as you can see, the meaning of this line was COMPLETELY lost in translation. Until I read this, I had NO IDEA that King Avaricean was supposed to be greedy

i can promise that if i ever create a commercial published project that leads to a fandom and arguments, i will not be going on my official accounts to use my authority to say who is right or wrong. i will be making an anonymous account to partake and make it worse
