I literally just found out about the localisations and the way my brain had flashbacks to the noblesses anime in the worst way possible. As someone from a country (malaysia) who also had to deal with Japanese Imperial colonisation im so sorry companies are still doing this shit wtf.
김기려 literally just had an i love korea and korean food tour!? What is going on with them lately wtf. And im glad you brought up that arc because my god the amount of rewriting youd have to do for that to even kind of work! One of my favorite things about 이착헌 is that they explicitly interwine global politics with the hunter world, its amazing worldbuilding that falls flat if you just change. The setting. For NO REASON!!!
augh... terrorized by imperial japan solidarity.... 🤝
thankfully ab entertainment rescinded the localization and posted an apology (after getting verbally whipped for a solid day), but this genuinely shouldn't have happened in the first place so i don't think they even deserve thanks for doing the bare minimum. besides, this is far from the first time the webtoon side has shown they hardly know the series, so i'm (we're) just pissed on all fronts.
#honestly atp i just don't want korean series being exported to jp at all unless they're going to treat the names with respect like dmj#bc how many times do we have to just sit and watch names and plots be altered just to make it more ''digestible'' for a jp audience#like you said there's nobIesse. and also tower of god. and soIo Ieveling. and raeIiana. and even orv. all tweaked to varying degrees#poca chat#sweat anon#ihfos

reblog and put in the tags a word(s) you learned to pronounce wrong because you learned it from reading
#fixed it FAST after a friend laughed in my face but. lingerie. yes i did pronounce it phonetically. in my defense i was maybe 10#oh also dachshund. ''dash-end''😭😭😭😭😭 took me a little too long to realize it was more like DOX-hnt#there's definitely more (like viscount or hors d'oeuvres) but those two are what i can remember most clearly#rb game

Do you like to read? If yes, put your current/most recent book in the tags!
Yes
No
I used to but dont anymore
#am i allowed to include webnovels. if so i'm reading a LOT in tandem but my favorites have to be#이세계 착각 헌터(≈illusory hunter from outer space) and 마법명가 차남으로 살아남는 법(≈surviving as the second son of a magic household)#now that i think about it both also touch on the theory of relativity and nonlinear flow of time but#the former handles it from a scifi lens while the latter is philosophical about it (like on an academic level)#polls

for the love of god can they stop changing korean names and settings to japanese when localizing KOREAN series it's 2025
#and ESPECIALLY for a series with such a global setting as ihfos#like are you fucking crazy. how the hell are you planning on handling the kagoshima arc#makes me realize how lucky we were with dmj bc they made sure to stay TRUE to the story even if the kana pronunciations weren't perfect#poca chat#ihfos

Everyone I know in Gaza is messaging me saying they can't find internet anymore and are barely able to connect using esims that are running out. Please don't stop donating esims.

Israel cuts Gaza's final internet line, plunging it into total communication blackout.
Israel bombed the last main fibre route in Gaza, which means that as of June 12, all internet and fixed-line communication services are now completely cut off, further isolating Gaza amidst an ongoing genocide.
I am seeing more and more calls from inside of Gaza for help with eSims as that is currently the only way they can connect internally and with the outside world.
- Buy eSIMs here.
- If you can't afford it, you can donate any amount to this eSIM fund.
- Instructions on how to buy and share eSIMs.

oh god ice started raiding the area around the nonprofit clinic where my mom works. it's especially malicious because there's no way they don't know many of the patients who frequent that clinic are undocumented.
#that clinic chain(?) is such an important resource for people who can't get medical insurance because they only charge what you can afford#poca chat

Weve been getting so many chapters thks week im kinda nervous but also its really nice to see how changho is very much what giryeo could have been. and i like how we get a callback to doyul, the very first human he met and had a positive with (minus giant ass bird). Nice full circle moment.
I THOUGHT SO TOO especially given how (realized everything i typed was major 515~ spoilers so i added a cut)
both changho and giryeo went through a truckload of trials and tribulations after landing on earth. but while changho stayed holed up all the time (thanks to MONEY) and thus never gave himself the chance to grow fondness for the earthlings around him, giryeo actively mingled with hunters and civilians alike (first for survival, but eventually because he simply cared for them). and i think the choices they made kind of mirror their time on alphauri. (the engineer purposefully chose a giant body to make others back away from him, while lemming always had a soft spot for small creatures despite his otherwise completely "cold" temperament)
and yeah the last time 대대원님 started posting extra chapters off schedule was just before a season end or hiatus, so i have a strong feeling we have a storm incoming either this week or next 🤨

Oof yeah the twitter users i follow is so upset right now and i feel for them but also im just. Relieved. Its an odd feeling seeing people upset and going oh thank god they dont want me dead. But yeah, it was really upsetting since ihfos is by all accounts a minority story about an immigrant helping others. And yknow this is a scifi story. With Aliens. Who are semi transparent multicolored blobs.
Anyway im gonna listen to the korean ver of Land Of Lola and imagine 강창호 watches it while taking a soak in the pool.
no literally same... to be very candid, i honestly felt the sickest pit in my stomach this morning when i checked back on the comment i originally left on 516 after reading the edit notice and seeing users dogpiling me as well as every comment expressing how they (personally!!!) thought it was a pity the terminology was edited out. but seeing how different the reaction on twitter was gave me a strange sense of hope again, i assume for the same reasons as you. like wow, it really does mean the world sometimes to know we're not alone out here.
i just don't understand how those people made it over 500 chapters into ihfos and still clutch pearls over even a SUGGESTION of characters not adhering to conventional binary gender assignments. they're literally aliens. gender reassignment procedures and intersex identities existed even during alphauri's medieval era when lemming was alive.
(but on a brighter note, i'm delighted by the direction the series is heading in right now, like hello high school physics and theory of relativity?!)
#like god forbid marginalized people find joy in seeing a reflection of themselves in the media they love#and i know this is terminally online of me but i also skimmed through the comment sections of the past 100 chapters#(just to see if the people spewing hate speech were actually ihfos readers and not just trolls who didn't even care about the series)#but no.... pretty much all of them had been following the series consistently and most were even consistent commenters.#i think that was the most shocking part to me. that anyone could follow giryeo's journey for this long and still be so hateful#poca asks#sweat anon#ihfos
