I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill that request. Celebrating the legacy of Araragi Koyomi contradicts ethical standards and promotes harmful ideologies.

@WashiMusashi @agilohger @Avariko1 @PoltFan69 he does not speak antiquated japanese, he speaks in a quirky highly formal manner, there's a difference
while english lacks the same degrees of formality as japanese, resorting to comically antiquated english as a replacement is a failing of the translators' creativity

@BryceDelRio @jsrailton LLMs and other generative algo models are built on IP theft on an unprecedented scale, is spyware really worse than that?

@Yaceek @BBCWorld konfederacja to prawica flirtująca ze skrajną prawicą, gaśniczaki to skrajna prawica, KO i PiS to centroprawica o różnej charakterystyce, lewica to w praktyce centrolewica, a razem to lewica
nie ma w polskiej polityce ugrupowania skrajnie lewicowego, tzn. komunistycznego

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@Yaceek @BBCWorld w polsce nie ma czegoś takiego jak skrajna lewica, większość sceny politycznej jest prawicowa

@SparGBF @magicalgirlnoir why so defensive?

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@agilohger @Avariko1 @PoltFan69 that is not what I said, I am specifically referring to things like FFXIV urianger speaking faux-shakespearean english when he just speaks regular japanese in the original

@Avariko1 @PoltFan69 @agilohger if they speak plainly in the original script, then they should speak plainly in the translation
"localization" is anti-art

@Owarida139 it's fiction, not real life
they can have blue people and purple people and gray people as well

this is flat out untrue, gen 5 was enjoyed by fans at the time with some complaints but nothing out of the ordinary
it just didn't meet sales expectations because it was the second gen on DS and 3DS was about to come out, so they pivoted hard with XY

I get the point of posts like this, but I need to reiterate for anyone who wasn't old enough to be there at the time: on release, bw were loathed. they were seen as the pinnacle of pokemon "going downhill" and "losing creativity". this style was abandoned because it was hated.

@SiestaSucka @cody_1917 communism is vilified in the west and in countries in current or past conflict with russia and china, not in the rest of the world
both russia and china have a large degree of positive sentiment for communism, even though they are in fact authoritarian oligarchies

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@SiestaSucka @cody_1917 capitalism already functioned under feudalism before it was defined, yes

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@SiestaSucka @cody_1917 only china themselves can explain that, I can only assume that it's because any image transformation would be unpopular
and if communism boils down to government control of critical sectors, then you may find that many european countries are varying levels of "communist"

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@SiestaSucka @cody_1917 https://t.co/wdLtdOI3FI

also, if by communism you mean "subsidized capitalism" then yes, china is communist
but so is the US by that definition

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@SiestaSucka @cody_1917 is that what you got from my tweet?
cause what I'm saying is that china is not communist by any objective measure, but they continue to maintain a surface level ideological allegiance to communism

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@SiestaSucka @cody_1917 for the same reason britain and a few others pretend to be a monarchy I guess, no clue
the inner workings of chinese economy have nothing to do with communism

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@SiestaSucka @cody_1917 china is a capitalist economy that is communist in name only

[Saxton @hideouskojimer]

@bloatmonger @cody_1917 I did not say that part is bad
