rpanons | Unfunny wanky stereotypes

Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

But localization has nothing to do with stilted speech. That'd be more in line with anime making jokes and references that seemingly don't make sense, because they don't apply when the characters aren't speaking Japanese (such as a pun or a joke about kanji or something).

Stilted speech would just be a poor translation, such as from someone who doesn't know how to properly differentiate between someone talking in tough-guy Japanese with someone talking in proper Japanese. It'd be like someone writing subtitles for something from English into Japanese, and having President Obama's manner of speech be the same as Snoop Dog's manner of speech.

Also, don't put professional translations on a pedestal. There are more than enough shitty examples of poor translations out there in video games and anime (and yes, translation -- sometimes even with proper localizing, if the translation sucks, there's nothing you can do other than make it more inaccurate).
