I'm deliberate with my words & always way ahead of the curve.

Frankly, the localizers' motivation ultimately doesn't even matter, the issue is that they're taking something easily translatable that can be heard and clearly seen in the visuals and changing it to something else. It's intentionally incorrect, regardless of the reasoning.

This just goes to show how little localization respects not only the original work, but the audience's intelligence. There is no valid reason not to keep it as faithful as possible to the original Japanese; not limited to, but especially in cases where there is no real "challenge" in translating it.

This reminds me of The Lamp story, where the guy gets assaulted and knocked unconscious only to "live" out the next ten years in his mind; he gets married, has children, but one day becomes fixated on a lamp in the living room, coming to the realization that none of it is real and wakes up on the ground before being taken to the hospital.

Stories like this are fascinating. Is it just some weird result of trauma to the brain, or a window into parallel lives that the soul is also bound to? Whatever it is, the grief felt by these individuals is certainly real enough.

Imagine looking at this abomination and thinking it has any value to add to your society. There should be zero Africans in Japan. All they "contribute" is lowering the quality of every place they inhabit.

@racistbilbo lol @ "Bigger person." All these people ever do is escalate perceived minor inconveniences into battles over feeling "disrespected."

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@durka1011 Man, that's something out of a Twilight Zone episode.

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@Sherman4life8 Yeah, it's called Long Dream.

@MountainMarvLad Sad, but also very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I've only heard a handful of these types of stories, so it's always neat to see a new one.

@Emanuel_nld Now that would be catastrophic.

@stocks58441009 I don't even know how someone manages to get bent out of shape by something like this. lol

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@panickedwagon That's really sad, it's definitely the type of dream that leaves an impression and really makes you think. I have had dreams of meeting someone "special," and feeling disappointment upon knowing it's not real, but it never felt like years of time.

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@GodEmperor1488 That must have been quite an experience.

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@Clouds_Patrick @mnmcsofgp It would appear so.

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@amazinggengar Of course hallucinations exist.

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@mnmcsofgp Yeah, I've had vivid dreams, but never one that felt like so much time had passed.

[Scratch Point @Scratch_Point_Z]

@ShuaniMator I've definitely had dreams that felt real, but never one that seemed like it lasted so long.
