Alright. I'm stepping away from Twitter. Might keep this app for some work announcements, but there's a slim chance I'll ever open up this app again. If you want to stay connected, I will be on Bluesky and IG. Only real ones get my phone number.

OPINION: SANRIO BOYS Tells Men It's OK To Be True To Themselves
By telling men it's alright to like cute characters that defy the idea of toxic masculinity, SANRIO BOYS sends out a great message — but what exactly drives it home so well?

Hi! I'm Brianna, a JPN to ENG translator, freelance editor, writer and YouTuber(?) (weird, I know lol). I self-taught myself Japanese for a decade and love otome games! I hope to translate more anime, manga and light novels in the future. よろしくね！*\(^o^)/*

What really frustrates me about the post is that the OP is stating that since they self-taught themselves and know Japanese, they're apparently correct. As someone who's also self-taught, there's a very clear difference between knowing Japanese and having the skill to translate.

It really is frustrating that there's such a high standard put for Meghan, and their excuse all the time is that her personality is the issue. They don't even personally know her or Kate, and yet they paint a picture like Kate can do no wrong and Meghan does everything wrong.

If all translators were blacklisted, you do know that you wouldn't have *anything* in your local language... Right? Also, I once again ask myself why people always seem to complain about localization if they don't know Japanese.
Localizers continue to brag about ruining Japanese media that they clearly despise. They have no respect for the original works or care for the mediums, they just want to abuse their positions to make changes to suit their preferences. Blacklist them all.

You know, Persona 3 is my favorite Persona game, but I'm only worried about one thing replaying it. The most important message is about treasuring time with loved ones and think about how you live your life, but... replaying it with the experience of grief kind of scares me.

Okay y'all, so this was about a Localization Specialist job at Nintendo. I unfortunately didn't pass the two hour test and my resume apparently wasn't impressive to them, so that was a bummer. I'm okay now though, because I might have some even better news in the near future. ✨

This is to clear something up — but a lot of people who become official translators actually used to be fan translators. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm one! And also, translation doesn't just take one person — it's an entire team behind multiple lines.

This translator translated やめたい as "Is it too late to back out"? and I LOVED this choice so much! 😂
For reference, the previous line was, "And just so you know, this (camera) isn't waterproof, so don't drop it in the pool... Because it probably costs about 100,000 yen."

I passed the N3 proudly the first time I took it, failed the N2 by 10 points the first time I took it, and wanted to take it again. Didn't because of Covid, but this year I'm going to try and register for it for December! I'm hoping I can take it and get that 2nd certificate. ☺️

It's funny because whenever the Japanese voice actors meet the English voice actors they're always so happy to see them, then you got dub only people saying they suck when the JP voice actors are hyped to meet them. 💀
Discussing value of dubs:
1. It’s a time issue (we don’t work 40 hour weeks like everyone else)
2. It’s a labor issue (we are indeed forced to match timing and work, you cannot just “talk” or joke around)
3. It’s a training issue (people often spend a lot on classes/degrees)

You can make certain choices in Sympathy Kiss and the characters actually remember. I picked an emoticon where a character asked if "I" had siblings or not, and he brought up the fact that I had siblings in another part of the story. That's actually pretty cool!

I just realized I've known Japanese for 10 years. I self-taught myself when I was small so it feels a bit unbelievable. I'm pretty proud that I can say I'm fluent with confidence now when I used to tip-toe around that, like, only 2 years ago. 😊

I was asked to freely promote L&DS multiple times but never answered because I was too busy moving half way across the country. And I don't do shit for free. The more I hear about, the more I'm happy I didn't do it.

This hurts because I believe this as well, because I've seen this. I spent 12 years learning Japanese, and because of machine translation it makes the wages translators ask for absolute trash. Then, they hire you to edit the machine translation for barely anything.

I never thought I'd get laid off, but even if you don't think you will, it's important to keep track of all the projects you've worked on. My job turned off my access five minutes after they told me I was getting laid off, but I already had proof that I worked on many projects.

I don't get personal much, but 2023 wasn't the kindest year to me. I was laid off, my mental health was shit, inflation kicked my ass, risky surgery... but you know what? I felt hopeful near the end. A better job, therapy, and family powered me through.

The only parasocial relationships I have are with fictional characters, so if a real person does something that is dissapointing or immoral... I kind of just accept it when it's confirmed and then move on. Yeah, it still sucks, but I remember that I don't know them.

But on a more serious and not made note: I'm tired of hearing stories like this. I'm sure I'll hear many more, which is sad since translation is an art, but it's honestly sad to see it being placed so blatantly in your face.

I took a Japanese test recently and only had 2 minutes left to decide if the translation of 仕方ないわね = "It can't be helped" was wrong or not and I panic changed it to "Guess we're going for it" so pressure DOES work sometimes because that was pretty damn good 😂
