This tbh. I've seen so many official CN localizations screwing it up at this point I'd rather they just not do it if they can't. Say what you want about Toby being a shill for the Japanese gaming giants but him not wanting to translate is a completely reasonable take.
A personal perspective on Toby Fox’s approach to localization. (This might be a long thread, but I hope you’ll bear with me until the end.)

ofc there's also going to be certain groups of butthurt chinese people going "china is your biggest spender y u no pander to us hmm you must be racist!!" with this approach. that's pretty much what this drama turned out to be

Disclaimer: this is mostly aimed at the atrocious takes made by certain groups of jp ppl. With this magazine being officially affiliated content after all, though, I think people are allowed to be very angry. Invoking certain words gets the severity of the issue through
The amount of jp people defending touken ranbu’s nazist bullshit is pretty appalling tbh
“don’t play a jp game then” wish yall can say the same about oppenheimer the movie lol. To parrot the same logic “it’s a foreign movie for foreigners don’t watch it, why you mad about bombs”
@1210_0815@GENKADANJA CN server host does say they will try to take action against nitro+ (source: https://t.co/6dWKX6Ltlx) so that the material doesn’t get distributed. The situation is so frustrating tbh
better analogy: a popular american historic game supports wwii u.s. persecution of japanese americans on a magazine. Let’s say that jp ppl got pissed, enjou on socials. Then americans in defense say “it’s to protect the country at the time.” This’d be history denial and is not ok
“but didn’t americans dropping a-bombs also kill people and depicting that is a display of Values™” yeah, which is why I also think the movie is bullshit. Delving into this however is getting off-topic
