Reminder that Takeuchi made what is possibly one of the most iconic and influential CGs in the medium's history. And yes, you can say Saber and Shirou don't look as good here in this 2004 CG, but the composition and lighting are perfect.
Takeuchi slander genuinely has become fake-fan behavior at this point. He's our GOAT and I will not yield on this point.

The fact FGO has the nerve, the fucking gall to drop these outfits for the gorgon sisters and not make them spiritron dresses is a cardinal sin, a travesty, a crime deserving of its own little plot in hell to suffer in next to the inventor of the gacha.

While this is an egregious example of a bad decision made by a translation, I think that punctuating it with "mtl is therefore better" would hold more water if machine translators like deepl didn't have a tendency to randomly just not translate parts of the text.
Remember when localizers cut out entire sections from Mushoku Tensei? They did this throughout the first 9 volumes! The publisher eventually had to go back and reissue entirely new, corrected editions.
Localizers have no one to blame but themselves.

It sucks that people will use examples of sketchy or bad localization to say that all translators are evil but ignore countless examples of good localization because a good, natural-looking translation will be transparent by nature.

I'm starting to think Bisque Doll is a show only fully understandable by fans of eroge and other genuinely niche media. It has that same welding together of earnestness and ero, and the idea that there should be no such thing as a socially unacceptable hobby/passion.

people are legitimately dunking on this fantl for making the player character's gender ambiguous.

The thing that always baffles me when people go "but it'll date the tl" is that like... The original Japanese put in references and memes too, do those not date the original?
I think slang TL is always gonna be hit or miss and there are definitely some bad examples of those (esp when trying to match "character voice" for a modern teen) but I feel people are conflating a lot of old examples with words they personally hate seeing

To elaborate I would probably word this differently because "feminist" is also an old-fashioned way of describing men who are really nice to women, and I can very much imagine a dying Kiritusugu looking back on his mistakes telling Shirou not to be like him.

I'll add to this by saying that a bad translation, even if it is done with the best of intentions, can cause damage and spread misinformation. People can't always tell even if a tl is blatantly wrong, and it can propogate, false facts and all, many people none the wiser.
Friendly reminder that if you're going to translate something, you have to speak BOTH languages well.

You don't appreciate how insane FSN is visually until you read a lot of VNs and see what the usual standard is. The sheer amount of assets is mind-boggling for a 2004 VN from a company that hasn't fully become a household name yet, and so many of its CGs are legendary.

Because they don't care about the books/games/vns themselves. I'm pretty sure a lot of the people who engage in this kind of translation bashing don't actually engage with the things they're talking about. They just want to score points in their culture war.

As of today, Gore Screaming Show's translation is complete! Translation for the common route, all 5 character routes and 13 endings is done.

Fantl puts in chest messages: Revolutionary, hilarious, daring, adds in charm.
Official translation uses the same chest messages: Politically-biased, unfunny, topical, ruins the experience.
You can sense the touch of a localizer by their insistence on including unfunny topical references.

If you read her tweet without your outrage goggles on, you'd see she's criticizing the mtl'd lines compared to the English script, not the original JP script to the English script.

I categorically do not trust prudes. The hornies are upfront about themselves, giving a good precedent of honesty, and if they're creatives, you can know their passion is in it. Prudes on the other hand lie; their blood is as red and hot as anyone's, but they lie and hide it.
Over time, you learn to respect people for being openly horny on main, because, man, sometimes you feel like a a moege heroine who is embarrassed to simply say one obscene word

Right, so, normally I wouldn't engage with this, but with Bustafellows there's actually an interesting point to be made with this. A few months ago the developer was asked if they were interested in having the game localized, and they replied they have their qualms about it.

moreover, when you translate for hours it's very easy to get brain fog and get lost in the sauce. having something to bounce off of helps.
I'd go so far as to say that you probably shouldn't use deepl at all unless you already know the target language.
It's very common to bounce lines you're struggling with off an MTL service to get a new perspective. There's nothing wrong with using those tools as long as you're applying the output intelligently. Translation isn't a closed-book exam.

Some people call it the "side story volume", but no only do the side stories shed a lot of light on Shin and the state of affairs in the 86th sector, it also touches on other lore issues like Fido's identity, Shin's parents, and more.
