Hello, I'm Fleta, and sometimes I get paid to fix video game scripts.

It is a beautiful Sunday morning and I am inside working. Hooray! Best of all, my boss panicked because he's behind and sent me a script that hadn't undergone any proofreading. While this is fine and even better than getting one that's been "proofread" (because then I have to identify and delete every reference to memes or anime I can find, because my boss doesn't know them and his "writing team" consists of two incels who spend all their time doing animes)...well, there are some hiccups.

I present, with no context, the following sentence I am expected to "fix and make not poo poo":

script posted:

Shut up you intent of a rostear I'd like you better when you were quite.

Okay, so this isn't the worst one I've ever seen. Clearly, the second half of the sentence is meant to be "I liked you better when you were quiet." However, I have exactly zero clue what the rest of the sentence means.

Goons, what do you think it means? Any ideas are better than what I'm coming up with. They are the poll options.


Possible clues:
- I can't explain the story, but I can say that this line was spoken by [the broad concept of] God.
- "rostear" might mean "rooster"
- "God" is speaking to, shall we say, a gentleman who greatly enjoys rural pursuits and the political beliefs typically associated with his race, gender, and social class.
- Someone may or may not have exploded

"shut up you intent of a rostear" is gen z slang for "may i kindly suck you off"

If God was Gen Z then everyone in America could still do their TikTok dances!

What language did it start as?

This is what happens when he writes in English and he's rushing. His primary language is Spanish, more or less. English is his third and this is not representative of his abilities, but the dude works 13 hours a day every day and it falls apart sometimes.

If we assume rostear is a rooster / cock, then perhaps the intent of a rostear is to gently caress


or just write about secretions of the cock and see what they say if you submit that as a translation

Unfortunately, due to our rating, I don't think that's it.

HOWEVER

Maybe God was calling the guy a cock and they didn't think God would say "cock"? But that's a goddamn terrible line that I'd rewrite anyways, so I refuse to accept it.

I believe he's being called a "wannabe cuck."

Please do not make me explain this. I already had to explain why it's not appropriate for a female character to call herself a grenade.

Okay, so let's pretend we are white guys in college in the mid-2000s.

I have been told, in that scenario, that one is frequently in a situation where you meet two girls at a bar. They are friends. One is very attractive and the other is not.

By the laws of 2000s male-hood, an unattractive woman will convince her friend not to leave for sex because she is not attractive and therefore a bitter hag. The attractive woman has no agency and apparently will stand there twanging her clitoris like a banjo, or whatever it is beautiful and stupid women do in the minds of men.

Your buddy, being your buddy, knows what to do. He seduces the ugly girl so you have a "clear path" to the hottie. He throws himself on a grenade.

Anyways, it was very awkward because the character in question was positively describing herself as a grenade, and I had to explain why that sounded weird.

This was immortalized in the “Jersey Shore” MTV show and introduced much of the world to the term. I deleted the weird nonsense you added.

I don't believe I have to like sexist terms, and I feel that I have the right to respond to them with derision. You're rude, you're weird, and your contribution is not appreciated.
