Japanese devs and creators: Add these to your localization contracts!
Strict Fidelity Clause :
Localized text must faithfully keep the original JP meaning, tone, style & intent. Customers seek the Japanese point of view!
No additions, political lines or commentary (from any side), cultural rewrites, or changes without written approval.
Strong Penalty Clauses (some examples of clauses):
- Vendor must fully re-localize affected content at their own expense and pay a fixed penalty designed to be dissuasive, easy to enforce, and applicable iteratively until corrections are complete.
- Developer can withhold a significant portion of payment until all issues are fixed + charge liquidated damages per breach.
- Full reimbursement of all re-localization, marketing correction, and related costs.
Protect your game and your vision and be skeptical of western localizers. Enforce it!

"B-b-b-but THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"
I know for a fact you don't care about kids. You just don't like seeing suggestive content and want to weaponize children to antagonize something you can easily ignore.
Kids shouldn't be on YouTube to begin with. YouTube Kids exist be a parent
All the hard work the designers put into these games will soon be gone forever unless you have a physical copy. Screw the companies that decide games (and the work that people put in to make them) aren't worth preserving.

With language barriers removed, some Japanese creators are reporting an increase in slander and criticism from overseas. If overseas standards are applied to Japanese works in this way, the uniqueness of Japanese anime, manga, games, and other content may be lost. We would be grateful if people overseas who value this uniqueness would support Japanese creators.
Fandom used to just be actual nerds and now it’s normies pretending to be nerds until they’re made slightly uncomfortable by the art and need to make their puritanical loser opinions everyone else’s problem.
Artists and authors out there, dont let loud voices pressure you into sanitising your work. Fiction is a space to explore, not conform. Your voice matters more than their discomfort.
Never stop creating, never stop making art!!

シックホラーアクションといえば時計塔ステージ!
刃が迫り、歯車が軋む――一瞬の判断が生死を分ける。
『紅魔城レミリア』
Gothic horror action isn’t complete without a clock tower stage.
Blades close in, gears grind—one mistake is all it takes.
