Yeah a lot of people are upset as this is a really hosed up thing for Netflix to do. Basically trying to make a scene less gay. A lot of gay people loved saw that stuff as their own representation.

:goonsay: but I just went and had a listen to it myself, since I didn't speak any Japanese when I watched it back in the 90s, and he never says 恋 (コイ, koi, romantic love), he says 好意 (コウイ, kōi, favor). Japanese subs look like they agree with me. I'm not saying Kaoru wasn't a little gay for Shinji, but that's not what's going on here, it's mostly just that Kaoru speaks like a condescending twat.

satan: destroying lovely laws daily in the us.

Several attendees at a government meeting open to the public in Alaska walked out in protest after an opening prayer praised Satan.

The Associated Press reports the prayer, where a woman declared “Hail Satan,” was given by Satanic Temple member Iris Fontana, who won the right to open the meeting with an invocation of her choice.

“That which will not bend, must break, and that which can be destroyed by truth should never be spared as demise. It is done, hail Satan,” Fontana said to open the meeting, according to local radio station KSRM

The controversial prayer Tuesday night started the meeting of the Kenai Peninsula Borough and prompted several attendees to exit.

A protest outside the borough’s administration building ensued, drawing 40 or so people.

Fontana was reportedly among one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit litigated by the ACLU of Alaska against the borough after it approved a policy in 2016 to only allow people belonging to official organizations with an established presence on the Kenai Peninsula to give invocations at meetings.

Last year, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that the borough policy was unconstitutional and the policy was changed to allow anyone to offer invocations regardless of affiliation.

I mean that’s how it was in the original so I don’t know why they would fix it in the Netflix only release 20 years later.

I'd imagine they had to do a new translation and write new subtitles anyway since the original US rights holder, ADV, would still own rights to their subtitles even if they no longer have rights to the work they were attached to. May as well fix up a few problems along the way.

Nope they apparently own the original dub as well. Also the new dub is really, really bad outside that issue. As they did a literal translation which you should never do.

Isn't the whole point that they've only known each other for a few hours but Shinji ends up clicking with Kawaru in a way he's never clicked with anyone else before because he's a clinically depressed social disaster so that makes Kawaru's actual identity far far worse for Shinji?

I get the upset with 'this is not quite as (openly) gay as the original subs had me think' but it's also a re-release of a 20 year old show and even the famously gay surrealist animes from 20 years ago danced around stuff more than you'd get today, like with that one person who worked on Revolutionary Girl Utena who insisted Utena and Anthy were just friends.

There is some that think it’s actually the Japanese company that wanted a literal translation and well there is a reason they hire localizers and don’t do it themselves.

So it probably wasn’t done on purpose just high ups making bad decisions.

netflix dubs and subs are the worst on their live action shows. 3% dark and diablero are all voice acted by the same 5 people and they all suck. The subtitle translations are loving terrible to for dark and diablero atleast. I dont speak portugese but i assume its bad in 3% as well. it sucks because i love all 3 of those shows and i wish their voice acting could be as good as the kingdom but i think thats handled by korean company making it otherwise it would have the same 5 fucks dubbing it.

I don’t understand how they’re allowed to assemble, assuming they’re classified as Neo-Nazis in Germany. I thought they had reaaaaaal tight laws about that. Or is it that they’re right-wing and neo-nazi’s but not out as Neo-Nazi’s? Either way it sucks.

I think there’s very specific rules about what is and isn’t banned (so very German) so you can openly run a Neo-Nazi group through loopholes and toeing the line.

Basically what Chitoryu said. These aren't Swastika-waving, Sieg-heiling Neonazis like the ones Trump thinks are very fine people. These are Neonazis that have to use off-brand, non-verboten flags in public, and can only sieg-heil very quietly behind closed doors.

Good loving grief, you dorks.

I don't care that they were gay, I don't think gayness is a problem that needs to be translated away, but neither is everyone some sort of emotionally blind autist that needs things laid out as explicitly as you three apparently do. Yes, they were super gay for each other, that was always apparent even if the original series merely left all the blowing each other to your imaginations. I'm just saying the few minutes of the new translation aren't as bad as you're all making out. They're still very gay for each other, but now Kaoru is appropriately twatty as well in that few minutes I watched.

Lol the translation literally erases all the subtext and recontextualizes it which is why so many gay people are upset.
