CastlevaniaNut18 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Discovered this last night. Basically, this guy who has been doing fan translations for years, did a translation for Goemon 3 on Super Famicom. The word "tranny" appeared, because that was an accurate translation of dialogue in the game and the PC warriors jumped on the guy, called him transphobic, accused him of being an alt-right operative and right-wing extremist. Just kinda overwhelmed the poor guy and he's taking a step back from doing further translations. Sounds like ResetERA played a big part, too. Fuck these people. It's like being offended at racial slurs in old literature. There's a lot of random tweets and forum threads about it, but this seems to sum it up well enough: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Maybe they should just translate it for themselves if they don't like the translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleronin Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 What really kills me about this, is that 99% of these fucking people that are outrage would have never played or even thought about playing the game in question in the first place. Here is hoping he will continue his translations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 I actually don’t recall seeing the word when I looked at the ResetERA thread. Plenty of dumbass dog piling, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Some people are just the worst. I read through some of the resetera thread. After @retrotranslator posted the big apology tweet you have these dipshits saying "its shitty to make an apology post and paint yourself as the victim".....Between this and the random Kobe Bryant comments on other websites, it just reinforces the fact that you should stay far far away from random strangers thoughts while browsing online. It's only going to anger and confuse you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crying wolf, plain and simple, and out of boredom for entertainment purposes worst of all because that's all it is. And it absolutely works like you said, whether people like it or not. As a sidenote, this is the reason why I've gone on anti-clickbait, or what I consider clickbait, tirades on here before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 That is such bullshit. The resetEra community seems toxic. Great job getting a fan translator deicide to do other things besides translate games from Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
