But that's completely beside the point given that it was also the only name they chose to translate, leaving the other two transliterated.

That got had me rolling. I entirely believe that ONE just came up with that technique joke a few weeks ago and had to write it asap, and that's why we got so many updates so fast. Okamaitachi is super bad tho and jeez. At least i'm glad her name only comes up at the end there, but I wish ONE wasn't so... like that with LGBT stuff.

Don't you think it's a bit problematic to assume Slicing Shemale's gender? Real talk: there's a huge cultural divide here. The issues faced by LGBT folks in Japan are very different from the ones faced in the US. In some ways, they have it better. In others, it's worse. Japan is not as prone to offense as many of our western friends. Even the ones who you believe should be offended by said thing. This is part of that cultural divide. Every single time this is apparent, people come out of the wood work to virtue signal and derail an enjoyable Japanese comics thread for like two pages over some pretty dumb poo poo. If you actually cared, you'd reach out to the translator and offer to edit for them. Or just do it anyway and upload it to batoto or whatever yourself. Anyway, King is amazing. OPM and One are both fantastic. This is a good chapter. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Getting upset over a slur being used is not an unreasonable reaction.

Obnoxious to bring it up literally every time it happens because it's part of the medium and bringing it up every time has literally no bearing on its presence. Our internet posts won't change Japanese Mangaka. Okama is a slur. Agreed wrt Shemale. Genocyber posted:Virtue signaling is rarely an actual thing.

Getting upset over a slur being used is not an unreasonable reaction. Goodness knows no one finds my posts virtuous. I agree it's not unreasonable. I'm also not going to tell you not to read Japanese comics even though this clearly upsetting thing to you is present in all of them, because that would also be unreasonable. My issue is that every time some questionable thing comes up it is an opportunity for forums posters to let others know how cool they are with the gays for two pages before comics discussion resumes. It's me, too. I'm also derailing this with my bullshit. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Sarcophallus posted:Agreed. If it's obnoxious to have it brought up to your attention, imagine how it feels when you're part of the group said slur is targeting and can't help but notice it. It's an unfortunately common aspect of the medium, yes, and that makes it worth discussing. This is the OPM by ONE thread after all, where we discuss things about said comic. Posts praising the comic won't affect it in any way but I don't see you complaining about that, despite this thread likely having a greater amount of "such cool, good chapter" shitposts than any other type of post. quote:Goodness knows no one finds my posts virtuous.

Are you really complaining about people being not lovely and showing some solidarity? How is that at all a bad thing? But you're right that it's a derail at this point so I won't continue.

I don't disagree that the translator could have censored it or used a more accurate English slur, but the translator didn't invent the transphobia.

He is right about one thing and that is that the west is going to turn into a poo poo-hole before it gets any better for us here now. Are there actually any safe zones left for trans-people? Also should we tweet at ONE about that character or is it a waste of time?

Tweeting it to ONE isn't likely to achieve anything unless you can put out a well reasoned tweet (oxymoron) in real Japanese at a time when he's likely to see it but is experiencing low traffic in his feed. Google translate isn't something to rely on to get a point across.

I love the ridiculous irony that exists in calling out a complaint as "virtue signaling". The complaint would have gone silently after a few posts but the poster whose opinion it is that people scroll past and not complain about it... can't follow their own advice? If virtue signaling exists I'm sure making a point of telling people that you don't care about the feelings of a minority group is it lmfao
