New pin because I am bored
No oc’s (for now) just going to put this here because why not my profile usually has a shitpost for a banner anyway so might as well
@umamusume_eng that’s nice, but when are y’all going to fire the entire localization team due their blatant censorship and disrespect of Japanese culture
If Cygames and the team of "Localizers" really did care about having "authentic" localisation.
They should have know its well accepted the closest parallel to a Gyaru is a Valley Girl...NOT GEN Z
How did your "professional Localizer" team mess this up so much Cygames? HOW?
Umamusume can go fuck off with their BS localization.
Equating gyaru with Gen Z.
Adding modern Western generational slang into the translations.
It completely changes the tone and the vibe of the original text.
Cygames needs to fire whoever the consultant is who thought that this was a good idea. Drama over "localizers" has been a hot topic, and there is no way they "didn't" know when it comes to... maybe hiring cultural parasite translators might be a bad idea.
For those who don't know, gyaru is that trope in anime where they often have tanned skin, colored hair that's often blonde, flashy clothes, slang, and a carefree vibe... It's not a generational cohort.
Glad I only played it free to play for a short while, cause I would have hated it if even a cent of my money went to the localizers
