You are talking about a group that wants to force their political opinions down your throat at every opportunity.
They could just type out "lolicon", they know what it means. They know that we know what it means, yet they felt it necessary to call it pedophilia instead because that is their view.
They couldn't stand to sit there and call it something else because they are insufferable nutjobs.
They couldn't just do their job, no; they simply had to change the meaning because that is how newspeak works.
Fuck them.
Are you retarded? In what universe would that not mean pedophile, in that context? It's not like they're talking about 2D , from their perspective.

Don't they have like a word of their own?
>>120398395
Never heard that before.
>>120398445
Because they use it for 3D stuff.
"Lolicon" and "pedophile" meaning different things is an entirely western concept. It's like how we made up specific definitions for hentai and ecchi.
>>120398403
They have words for most of the thing they use english, but they don't sound as cool.
Too late, it's over. You didn't listen.
Lolicon is the same thing as pedophilia. Would I call myself something different if I was gay and only liked 2D boys?
Who even cares if you're a pedophile or not? It's fucking 4chan.
>>120398483
>>120398518
No, lolicon literally means "Lolita Complex" which isn't the same as pedophilia and both are used differently.
>>120398563

Lolicon is just a gender-specific pedophile.

It's being sexually attracted to sexy, promiscuous children.
Not that there's much difference for the average normalfag. So subbing it as "pedophile" is fine.
>>120398395
And even that says lolicon = pedophile.
Honestly, I don't understand why people throw such a fuss over this. He's shitting on some dudes by calling them pedos for being interested in 14yo girls who are the equivalent to "3dpd real life girls" in the world of the show. The translation is completely fine.

pretty much this. it exists, but in American English, calling your dad "papa" makes you sound either European or from the 20's.
and if you don't want to make that implication/connotation, then subbing it as "daddy" I think it perfectly reasonable.
Unless of course it's an oujou or hime-sama character, in which case "papa" works quite well.
>>120399834
All of them are referred to Papa in English. I call my dad Papa. "Daddy" sounds like something out of an incest porno. Its so so skeevy when subbers put that in lieu of a perfectly fine English word like "Papa" which is already being used.

Because "3DPD" isn't just butthurt virgins in a fox and the grapes scenario. Yeah, I'm sure you have no desire for actual children. Pay no attention to the fantasies pedophiles...I'm sorry, "lolicon", keep posting about being able to act out their fetish in real life.
Always worth a chuckle seeing one group of pedophiles try to appear morally superior by dissociating from "bad" pedophiles. Exactly like how feminists love to claim "radical" feminists are totally different.
>>120399934
So somebody share my concern.
>>120400298
It does not. Are the Berenstain bears from Continential Europe?
Daddy has sexual secondary connotations look it up. You are taking an ENGLISH word (aka Papa) with no sexual connotations and changing it to an English word with sexual connotations why? Its just gross.

The number of people busted in comparison to the number of people who view loli is incredibly small. Those busted are almost certainly not random sampling of loli viewer because authorities only go after those with actual CP.
>>120400363

>>120400441

>You are taking an ENGLISH word (aka Papa)
Not native English. Or atleast not common English. Like using "pepsi" when referring to soft drinks in general, technically correct, but still weird.
There's a large subset of English speakers who would never think of using papa as a word for their father.
Use "dad" is "daddy" bothers you.
>>120400672
Because papa sounds old. There is a big difference when "papa" is part of the name like "papa bear" or "papa smurf" etc.
>>120400676
Papa does not sound archaic. It sounds like a normal childish affectionate term for a papa. Daddy is porno-tier.
And here's the bottom line, we can argue about which one is better all day. But what English word are the characters using? PAPA. The end.
>>120400672
>Why change it to the sexualized one?
Because most kids don't call their father "papa," regardless of your own experience.
>>120399855
does it really look like that inside
>>120400487
There is something wrong with some of them, but that goes for most anything.
>>120400776
To me using "papa" would be like using "chum" to mean friend. It simply sounds odd and outdated(to my American ear).
P.S. nothing technically correct about calling sodas pepsi. That's blasphemy.
>>120400819
>But what English word are the characters using?
None. They're using a Japanese word that is burrowed from some other language, not necessarily English, because using papa as a way to refer to your father is much, much, much common in other languages that aren't English.
>>120400908
>P.S. nothing technically correct about calling sodas pepsi
Easter Europeans and other people from that region used to call all sodas "pepsi." It was also common a long time ago in the US. I know some old people who offer you a "pepsi" and pull out a 7up or something.
>knock on door

Pic related.
>>120400776
No, I use Papa. Much like any normal person. Or "Pa".
What annoys me is these anime subbers changing an innocent English word into a sexualized one. Gross. Subbers should keep it as Papa, which is the word actually being used and which is already universally understood to mean a childish term for your papa.
Now if the anime character said "Otosan" and the subber change it to "daddy" fine. Whatever. The subber has bad taste when it comes to fatherly terms, and likely watches creepy porno but whatever. But when an anime character says PAPA, then the subber needs to leave English words be.
Kids say "Papa" like they say "Mama" kids are good at making those babbling sounds when they are young. Its just almost a natural, near-universal and beloved timeless term that suggests a childs love. "Daddy" just sounds repulsive in comparison. The connotations are just plain ugly and cheap

You're in the minority. Even "Pa" is more common, but still old fashioned and southern.
>the subber needs to leave English words be
They're not fucking English. It's Japanese, the characters are speaking Japanese and using Japanese words that are borrowed from some other language (most likely not even English).
>Kids say "Papa" like they say "Mama" kids
Kids say "dad" and kids say "mom." Smaller kids say "daddy" and "mommy" and there's nothing wrong with it if you're not a pervert (which you obviously are). Toddlers babble (like saying "dada"), but were not talking about toddlers here.
>>120400926
>>120400848
Its common in English too. Its a nearly universal term, because of the way we develop linguistically.
Do you think we should subtitle the Barenstein bears and have Papa bear renamed to Daddy Bear, because its "more common"? Hell, where does this end? Should we subtitle all the character names to more "common" English names like Britney and Jason? "Most people" don't name their kids Sakura, after all.
Who gives a shit about "common"? We want them to be understood, and Papa is well understood. Its understood better than Daddy. Everyone knows that Papa means a childish term for a father. Daddy CAN mean that--it can also mean a sexual male figure.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=daddy
You need to go down to definition 3 before you hit any fatherly understanding of the word.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=papa
BOOM, Definition #1 is the fatherly meaning. Need to go down to 3 before you see anything sexual.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy
Other uses? "a slang term meaning an older man sexually involved in a relationship or having a sexual interest in a younger man" and "a term for an age disparity in sexual relationships in which the older partner takes care of the younger, generally sexually"

"Papa" is well understood in English even if it is a minority term, and (as I demonstrate in my last post), it is even better understood than "Daddy" which has obfuscating sexual connotations.
And its rich to call me the pervert when you are defending putting the word "daddy" into little kids mouths when they are clearly saying papa. Its just gross. What the hell are you afraid of?

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/papa
ENGLISH. Boom. As if it even NEEDED to be said. And don't dare try to say "it says old-fashioned" because it says "familiar OR old-fashioned". And yes, "Papa" is a familiar term. It has connotations of closeness and love, much like a childs innocent love for their father.
And speaking of which you idiot person, since when does the ENGLISH wiki include terms for father from NON-ENGLISH languages? There's no English wiki page for "Otosan" because Otosan is not English. There's an English page for Papa because its fucking English you idiot. Your stupidity is stunning. Why am I even talking to these "Daddy defenders".

>>120401651
Son, Urban dictionary and Wikipedia both agree that Daddy has sexual connotations. Urban dictionary even puts those sexual connotations before the fatherly ones. If you walk up to a man in public and call him daddy, people will think you are a pervert long before they think you are using a childish term of affection and love.
>>120401741
Who gives a shit. Seriously. I don't care if its "been on decline". The name "Agnes" has been on decline too, but if I saw a character named "Agnes" in a show does that mean I should change her name to "Amanda" in totally superfluous subtitles? No. That would be stupid. That would be full-retard almost as retard as the anime subber subbing "Papa" to "Daddy".
Papa is perfectly understandable English, now and always. The connotations are pure and beautiful. English terms that are less common are still very much English and it makes no sense to replace them with repulsive but more common terms. (Even assuming that anyone can call their fathers daddy without gagging).

>>120401875
>Since forever, when it's relevant somehow.
Find me 10 wikipedia pages on non-English terms. Not loan words, but bona-fide terms we would not use in English. Ideally father terms, like Otosan.
>So yeah, if you enjoy your anime's sounding like they came from the 18th century, go right ahead.
...............................................................................................Familiar. It says "FAMILIAR or old-fashioned". I even warned you about that to begin with. I said, "don't say it says old-fashioned, because it says familiar OR old-fashioned".
>>120401865
This. The porno connotations are undeniable. Its so so gross. Especially when listeners can hear the audio clearly saying "PAPA". A subtitler doesn't need to put down anything at all. The subber can just leave the "Papa" alone and let listeners marvel at a truly universal expression of a child's love for her father. We don't need subs. Nobody does. People know what that means because that is how children express their love for their father. Just like the term "Mama" for mothers.
But nope. They put down "Daddy" like they are spitting in our face. Like "heh I bet this little kid is sooo boning her dad lol". Just get that out of my face. Fuck the 70s and fuck the term "Daddy". Gross.
>>120401939
So, when are you starting your own 18th century fansub group?
I'd watch anime that was subbed in old-fashioned english.
I think you're onto something here.
>>120402106
>Not loan words
You mean like "papa." Because that's a straight up loan word from French. And it's one that's not even used that much anymore.
>>120402106
Sorry bro you're just a pedophile. You think a little girl calling her father daddy is sexual because you see little girls sexually.
>>120396621
To us there's a distinction between lolicon(2d) and Pedophile(3d). Its a bit different to the Japanese, is it not? So to match the context they changed it to pedophile.
If he were talking in terms of anime and manga I would agree with you.
>>120397268
>the correct term is ephebophiles
No one cares but pedophiles like you
>>120402106
Holy shit, tumblr go away. You fucking SJW freaks trying to make "daddy" a sexually charged word is pathetic. Funny how "Mommy" isn't getting the same treatment as Daddy.
Who the fuck cares about urbandictionary anyway? It's used by white trash, niggers and spics. If that is where you get your definitions, I feel bad for you.
>>120402071
Of course it does. Because it is. Like the dictionary (urban and real) and wikipedia both own up to it. Its just gross. Its not necessary or needed why insert it when they are already using a well-understood term?

it's accurate because IN THEIR UNIVERSE he likes little girls on the same dimension as him. If he likes little girls show on the TV OF THEIR UNIVERSE then he's a lolicon. get rekt

Yes, Papa is a loan word, I am glad you admit it. Like much of English it is a word which is from somewhere else (in this case Latin) but which fits in with universal language development of children.
Idiots ITT are under the impression that it is non-English.
>>120402108
Never. Papa is not old fashioned at all and if you think it is well I guess Japanese kids are all old fashioned you idiot. When are you going to start subbing out their "uncommon" names?
>>120402417
Mommy is not a gross porno term that is why.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mommy
Once again, motherhood connotations are #1. Sexualized meanings I could not see til #32. And its downvoted.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mommy_%28disambiguation%29
Lists no sexual connotations like it does with daddy. Is "Mama" by far a superior choice just based on its universal loving tone and simplicity? Yes. Would I be annoyed if a subber changed "Mama" to "Mommy" since it would be unnecessary and be a ugly choice? Yes. Would I be grossed out and want to go throw up? No, because there is no sexual meanings there. If a subber does that the subber is just a retard (like 90% of anime subbers), not a disgusting pervert.
Urban dictionary talks about English how its used by most people, since apparently that is of supreme importance to the "Daddy defenders". "Daddy" has been on the rise since the 70s alright, but for all the wrong reasons as we can see by urban dictionary. These sexual meanings are entrenched in the term, going back to the book 'Daddy Long Legs" in 1914 and possibly far earlier.
Fuck me, papa
>character says kimi
>subs say you
Fucking SERIOUSLY? Overlocalization is the cancer killing anime.
Well, technically speaking, lolicon is just the japanese word for pedophile, albeit gendered toward the female side. The translation is as good as it can be for viewers who have no idea what "lolicon" means.
Youjo doesn't translate to loli, fuck you Daiz.
>>120402785
Yes, you are. Did you forget the rules Ishithara put in place?
I watch shit in MPCHC, but my online friend keeps telling me that there's nothing wrong to use up the free trial on CR if the other alternative is watching HS.
What do you think?
>>120402864
You should watch some of the KDrama subbers on viki they are really good at making things understandable.
They would put something like: "Pedophile (geared toward girls)". Simple and easy. They also leave in terms of affection in Korean culture without obnoxious clumsy attempts at translating them. Anime subbers could learn a thing or five from them.
>>120402890
If you're talking about the loli laws, there are plenty of loopholes.
>>120402794
>Japanese kids are all old fashioned
Japanese kids are speaking Japanese where it's perfectly common for them to call their father "papa."
Keeping "mama" in the subs is equally retarded since "mama" is also nowhere near as common in English as "mommy"
They should use dad instead of daddy or papa.
>>120402677
Nope, the group that's doing it is still slow as fuck they release a chapter about every 6 months.
>>120403000
.....again by your logic, we should sub out "Sakura" for "Sarah" because that is "nowhere near as common in English as Sarah".
Its fucking retarded. The point of subtitles is not to mangle out and destroy all character and culture and beauty within language and trying to make everything sound like its happening in Middle America with the most """"""common"""""" words from Middle America. The point is to make the characters understood, so we know what they are saying so we can follow the story.
And Mama is 100% understood. It doesn't even have any "old-fashioned" in its wiktionary entry.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mama
Its just a term you use for your mother. A childish and affectionate term.
You have to be an anime subber. There is no one on earth this retarded. By your logic, even English novels need someone like you to sub out all variances in language with more "common" equivalents. Retard. But if you don't defend "daddy" at least you aren't a pedo retard, so you have that going for you.

>>120402794
Japanese kids use "papa" because it's a trendy foreign word. Only small children and spoilt rich kids use it anyway because it is the modern equivalent of "Daddy". Them moving onto Otou-san/Oyaji is the equivalent of a white kid moving on to calling their father "Dad'. Get out of the house and talk to some white kids if you think only porn stars use "Daddy" you degenerate.Also fuck you I used Daddy back in the day.
>>120403245
Viki are professionals though. Unlike 99% of anime fansubbers.
They just don't think their viewers are stupid. They aren't afraid to use parentheses to capture deeper meanings for the viewers (like letting their viewers know if a character is speaking in a dialect or formally if its relevant to the story). They aren't afraid of the characters being Korean and using Korean terms like Oppa rather than trying to squeeze in some non-existent English equivalent which sounds clumsy.
I've been watching KDramas with my middle aged mother, neither of us are Korean or have Korean background, and its been immensely enjoyable when compared to the mess that is Anime subbers. They just do a better job of conveying the story.

"Anime" in English means "Japanese cartoon".
"Anime" in Japanese means "cartoon".
Same for manga & comics. Anime & manga mean slightly different things in the two languages, and it's perfectly legitimate to reflect this in the translation.

Reversing name order for western languages is standard Japanese practice. Informed foreigners may use Japanese order for any number of reasons, but there's no obligation to do so.
>>120403401

>>120403526
"Papa" in English means "A childish affectionate term for father, possibly a bit old-fashioned but not really".
"Papa" in Japanese means " a childish and affectionate term for father".
"Daddy" in English means "a childish term for father or an older man who takes care of his younger lover in a sexual manner".
Anime subbers cannot reflect for shit.

Where on earth do you live that the word daddy has such a connotation? Is this another one of your zany American jokes?

>>120403643
I meant to quote a guy, but it's mainly for when a character says [Last First] but then they sub it as [First Last]. It's even worst when they pull this shit in manga because how the fuck am I suppose to know which part of their name is first or last? Are they on first name terms?

No it isn't. Japs have two words for pedophile. Lolicon can be used to mean the same thing but it also has other connotations.
>>120398639
I think of him as my pedophile daddy.
>>120402735
Does not exist.
You can isolate a single dimension, but without at least one additional dimension you can not create a space to attribute any characteristics to.
You know what I really fucking hate? When a word has an honorific attached to it, and the word is translated but the honorific is left in. Class Rep-chan for example.
>>120403947
Anime translators think their viewers are stupid. KDrama subbers have so much more respect for their viewers ability to understand "these people are Korean". I never see them try to Americanize the name order.
>>120403961
I'm saying that such connotation isn't the default usage.
Why are loli's so cute.
>>120403947
I think they were attempting to reduce this confusion by making it standard. In everyday situations a Japanese name will often have Western order in written form even if they're also saying it in Japanese order.
In practice I don't really think this works, for the reason you describe. They should have just done like China and mostly left it in Chinese order for everybody. People end up having to guess based on whether they think one name sounds more like a surname.
>>120404002
This makes sense to me. Better than trying to translate both (I have never seen an English translation of -chan that wasn't stupid as hell), or failing to translate "class rep".
>>120404002
I think that leaving the honorific is the right thing to do, because it tell us about the relationship between the characters
>>120403995
What are you saying? I see no reason you couldn't have 1D little girls.

ロリコン can refer to attraction to 2D and/or 3D girls. ペドフィリア is purely referring to attraction to real girls.
>>120404159
lolicon isn't frustrated because he gets off to legal drawings.
>>120404094
You don't actually need the -chan at all in that situation. It's just ritual noise that communicates no real information beyond 'they aren't using unusually respectful or derogatory language', which you can convey in English by also not using such language.

The point is that that information is not needed in English because it's easy to make implicit in the rest of the text. You only need to draw attention to that sort of thing when the point of the original usage is to subvert understood meaning, and then you calibrate your translated words accordingly.
How do you think Japanese handles translating all those superfluous pronouns English is always using? You think they leave them in because they tell you untranslatable things about the grammar of the sentence?
>>120404386
This is an acceptable reason. Honorifics as flavor language are fine if you're consistent about them, especially in situations where the story at some point turns on changing usage for whatever reason, though it is sometimes possible to write around this as well. It's not like the translator's job is to actually make foreign characters non-foreign.
