Do you oppose culturalization of Japanese video games?
Since when did America had in on theri culture that decapicting tits in fiction is a bad thing? i mean wasnt it America that came up with Playboy or PornHub?
>>322284915
Same reason you only have eggnog in December
And she now works for Nintendo Treehouse?
Boy, Sarcastaball is sure a popular sport on /v/! But shouldn't you be posting on /sp/?
>>322284681
that only sounds like a problem in countries rife with human rights violations. so pretty much china, south america and the middle east
maybe the United Caliphate of England now too
>>322284915
Playboy doesn't have nudity anymore
>>322284681
I'm fine with localization and beyond. If it helps invite more people to play the game, what's wrong with it?
>>322284915
Come back when you're sober, faggot
>>322286654
Get AIDs you fucking faggot
Honestly, as long as it's not just shoving crappy memes into it, I'm perfectly find with it.
Japanese humor is much different than ours, and some things just don't translate.
>>322286654
>Undertale
No fucking surprise here.
Kill yourself.
>>322286927
That's why people learn language to explain those jokes, not replace them with their own garbage.
>assess the viability of those creative choices
I'm already upset.
>>322286927
Comedy is understandable, but changing names or scenes entirely is totally unacceptable.
>>322284681
>Culture must be protected
>Culture can be dangerous
Well which is it, internet?
>>322287302
All the more reason not to remove them if they don't matter and nobody cares.

thanks for confirming what everyone's been suspecting.
>>322287428
Why must you infect everything,with your filth /pol/?
>>322284681
Does the USA have any culture? We always say "burgers" but seriously, does any exist?
>>322287396
I'd rather the joke be removed alltogether, instead of the translation being unfunny and nonsensical.
Which happens to be the case 90% of the time.
Especially before fucking laugh breaks, god I hate those.
>>322286654
This is a shitposter who spams these images over and over in these threads because he's a faggotsexual
>>322287521
USA is the only country in the modern age that really considers itself practically a holy land. "Land of the free" "American dream" etc.
>>322287572
You sound like a lot of fun if you can't appreciate jokes that don't make sense at first. Do you live a sheltered life where you never try anything new? How the fuck did you even get here if you reject ideas that don't make sense at first? I know you're just pretending but step up senpai.
>>322284681
If you need culturalization as this defines it, you don't live in a free society. Seriously, banning the game and arresting people in the company? What is this for, Rwanda?
>>322284681
Isn't it a little disrespectful to take another person's work, slap your culture on it, and call it good?
Isn't culturalization what we did to the Native Americans?
>>322287572
>i'd rather no content than content
Whatever you say shill.
Without culturalization we would never have Phoenix Wright.
>>322287718
Exactly. Only cucks are stupid enough to prioritize foreign cultures over their own.
>>322287684
Don't forget Manifest Destiny and amerian exceptionalism.
Basically means we're meant to take over the world and it's ok because we're free.
America is a fucked up place and I say that as an American.
>>322287702
>>322287719
Sorry to burst your bubble, but a badly translated joke just takes me right out of the game.
It makes the characters look like assholes too, when they laugh for 10 seconds at something that doesnt even make sense.
>>322287851
This. I find it absolutely hilarious that /pol/acks are a bunch of weebs.
>>322287428
You have to have been retarded to not have known that all along
>>322284681
>cultural mistakes
i'm done
>>322287975
You realize people laughing at jokes you don't find funny can also happen in reality right? Oh of course you don't, you spend all your time bitching about jap games on /v/ and tumblr in your mother's basement.
>>322287819
>Eat your hamburgers Apollo
>>322288093
Anime... was a mistake.
What the hell is this culturalisation and why should I give a damn? Give me good gameplay and I'll be quiet.
>>322287718
>>322287851
>>322288001
Americans celebrate other cultures beliefs and holidays and yet when it comes to Japanese culture in video games they have no issues changing it. How does that work?
>>322287975
I'm going to have to disagree with you.
What if the characters are Japanese, don't you want them to be accurately portrayed?
This culturalization shit sounds like putting on a pair of freedom glasses and dehumanizing anyone who's not from the same country as you.
>>322284681
So in other words leftists are getting into game translation so they can push their dumb agendas on everyone else?
>>322288252
>Americans celebrate other cultures beliefs and holidays
Like what?
>>322288141
Holy shit, you're such a deluded weaboo piece of shit.
If you honestly think most translated jokes are laughably funny, you have some kind of brain damage.
>>322284681
I've read this 3 times now, and I can't find a single thing differentiating her purported "culturalization" against localization. In fact, it seems her invented term is indeed the selfsame localization she seeks to supercede, but erroneously believes to only aid with "simply comprehending...through translation". Never mind that such a definition would be called, perhaps, with some stretch of the imagination, a translation, and that a localization could be inferred to be an undertaking localizing a game with cultural differences and references taken into consideration for the, wait for it, locale.
I was confused was all.
>>322288252
We don't celebrate other people's holidays, we bastardize them and put them on the calendar if it involves drinking or eating.
We "celebrate" culture by raping it, basically.
>>322288252
>everyone in an entire country thinks the same
The problem is meme culture. It's the lowest form of culture, because it references nothing.
>>322288323
Thanks leftists for making Phoenix Wright
>>322286654
Because people should have easy access to the original and be allowed to decide for themselves. Imagine if they did this with Shakespeare. Oh wait they did and it was shit.
>>322288361
America isnt special in that whatsoever.
Every culture in the history of planet earth has just been taking another culture and raping it.
Like Japs eating KFC on Christmas.
>>322287718
No. We killed native american. We killed them in cold blood. That's the truth. We killed them and we're not sorry.
Am i edgy enough?
>>322284681
If I wanted a western experience I'd play a western game.
>>322288252
That's for Pearl Harbor!
>>322286927
But that's not what's happening. It's shit like that translation for a recent Final Fantasy that used shit like "xir" and similar pronouns to refer to moogles.
It's not about making humor and other concepts more relatable to western audiences but by using their positions as translators to spread their ideology. It's the kind of stuff McCarthy warned us about.
>>322288361
I get MLK day off. I don't like niggers but I'll celebrate their special day because I get a paid day off for it.

>>322288361

>>322288492
I'm not that sorry either. I don't go "fucking racist piece of shit!" when I read old novels set in the frontier America with Indians as villains.
People can love Little House in The Prairie, and that's a story about American colonization.
>>322288492
>We killed them and we're not sorry
Why would we be?
>>322288689
Scary savages like Injun Joe are more accurate to reality.
>>322284681
Absolutely inexcusable.
>>322288689
Indians killed each other all the time, just like African tribes enslaved each other to sell to the white man.
Don't you mean commodification?
>>322288490
>Like Japs eating KFC on Christmas.
That was actually KFC marketing fried chicken as a Christmas food when Christmas was first introduced to Japan, because Japan didn't know sjit about Christmas
>>322288762
>kids used to play about Indians burning people tied on a pole
Good times. I think the adventurous wild west vs Indians stories are dead nowadays. Same with fighting against cannibals in uninhabited islands. Used to be so popular with boys.
>>322288659
Are you responding with a fedora tip while defending the purity of the original Japanese dialogue?
Do you not see the complete hypocrisy in that?
Probably not, because you're a sub 80 IQ memeposter
>>322284681
Does AA count as culturization?
>>322289032
It was actually kfm marketing actual Christmas food. Not chicken. They actually sell/sold turkey and ham.
>>322289068
>everyone should cater to my superior and enlightened taste
>>322289082
I honestly don't know how you would even begin to bring AA over without heavy localization mixed with culturization.
>>322286654
This is why the internet is awful. Someone will always pretend to have a controversial opinion in order to piss people off, and then when someone actually has a dissenting opinion they get instantly silenced by the still salty mob.
>>322288986
They killed settlers at random too.
It was one of their manhood rituals to sneak onto someone else's land and basically steal and kill.
Plus they liked to hack up the body so your ghost would be in pieces.
Some tribes like the Blackfoot were cannibals as well.
Nothing wrong with killing those faggots.
>>322289062
Reminds me of that old Swiss Family Robinson cartoon, where a kid says "Aren't Australia full of cannibals?" Surprised they don't cut that out.
>/v/ is okay with censorship and alteration of video games

>>322284681
Under no circumstances do I support anything resembling multiculturalism because I'm not a brain damaged liberal faggot.
>>322289245
If you want the original Japanese dialogue, then go learn Japanese and play the untranslated version.
Most people want their games to make sense, and not be loaded with retarded, cringe-inducing dialogue.
>>322289350
Except it's liberals doing the localization you fuckwit
>>322288361
>>322288606
We celebrate the same exact way the original country does. By getting shit faced and fucking. If you think it's celebrated differently, stop looking in history books.
>>322289398
You mind walking me through what you mean, there, champ?
>>322289398
>butchered
It's just fine to me.
>>322289438
They didn't believe in land ownership.
If you were strong enough to hold something you could keep it, anyone strong enough to take it from you deserved it more.
Most people have never met a native so they believe they were peaceful proto-hippies. Anyone who knows one of the few natives left knows they're hot tempered and tend to hang out with niggers and do drugs.
>>322284681
What is this nonsense.
Its literally localization she's talkig about, only with a gay special kornflake word for it.
When metaphors, slang and proverbs get adjusted in translations thats already "culturization" and that happens in pretty much every fucking localization.
I think she needs to eat a dick.
>>322288492
>native americans
They weren't native to the Americas. They migrated from Asia via the Bering Strait.
>>322289484
Or maybe you could stop being an uncultured faggot and learn about other nations' customs so they don't have to translate everything into hamburgers for you.
>>322289478
Do you have any examples of this?

>cultural mistakes
It's so adorable when Americans think they are the world police.
I'm glad I'm way past the point of relying on crappy localizations.
>>322289672
Sorry, meant to reply >>322289478
>>322289082
The difference between localization and this "culturalization" thing seems to be progressive politics. AA was heavily localized, but I wouldn't lump it in with what the image in the OP is advocating.
>>322284681
>Kate Edwards
Oh god, she's that tranny, why do so many trannies have to be these pretentious "culture critics"?
>>322288461
Have you read original Shakespeare? It's fucking atrocious.
>>322288352
Basically this. All this person does is redefine localization and then make up a new word and give it localization's old definition. It's just bullshit to make it sound smart and maybe try to make some new buzzword for people to latch onto.
"Culturalization" is shit and completely destroys any artistic integrity of the work. Accurate translations are what all localizations should strive for, not modifying the game to try to avoid offending some other culture's sensibilities. But based on the text in OP, I don't think that person cares about artistic expression or integrity, just minmaxing immediate-term sales.
I like to experience and learn about other cultures and I don't want everyone to cater to what they think appeals to me most and create a little culture bubble.
If I play gook games I wanna see some glorious nipponese culture.

Didn't you know? Good gameplay is exclusive to Japanese games. With culturalization, those games will be changed to fit the Americans' need to have slow, tank controls so the turn animation looks slightly more realistic.
>>322289948
>video gamers making fun of anime watchers with "that's for kids" argument
>>322284681
This sounds worse that censorship, it's "You might be too stupid or brain dead to understand that other points of view or cultures exist so we will white wash the fuck out of your game"
So fuck this, stay away from Nip and eastern Yurop games.
>>322289672
>>322289768
You can feel that way if you like, but good luck telling that to the entire Western market.
Besides, you aren't explaining what's inherently wrong with replacing what is supposed to be familiar with what is actually familiar. If the author's intent is to present his audience (Japanese speakers) with something that is distinctly culturally Japanese, then clearly he intends to present them with something that is inherently understandable. In such a circumstance, a Western release should present what is inherently understandable to a Western audience. That is translating the intention- what's more important than that?
>>322289783
This is getting confusing then, what makes a game heavily localized different from a culturized one?
Is culturalization really progressive considering it's about changing things to be better percieve for other cultures instead of accepting the differences of thougs that other cultures have?
Why would someone bother to do such a thing?
I't like i'm receiving multiculturalism classes again, being the only difference that it's some guy in the internet who teaches me instead of a teacher that hates fags and nazis.
>>322284681
Yes and I couldn't even name a single game affected by this. I want to play the game/watch the movie/read the book the way the team/author intended in its least unadulterated form; weirdness and all.
Altering media for the sake of commercial viability pisses me right off because I'm not going to learn another language to get around that.
>>322289818
Sure have, and it's not but I hope we can agree the Dicaprio one is much worse.
>>322290189
Or cute little lolis and well drawn women. With culturalization you will have deliberately ugly robotic women so you won't sexualize and rape virtual women.
>>322290252
/v/ generally doesnt understand that there are multiple layers to translations.
Its a topic people argue about and its definitely not as clear cut as having everything translated literally 1:1 always no matter what.
>>322290126
That seems so silly it actually makes me wonder how would a non-american ace attorney translation would be.
>>322290290
Culturalization is when you heavily localize because your politics disagree with the material. Heavily localization would be when the translator thinks the game is too foreign to make any sense, so instead of trying to convey the original experience they try to replicate an equivalent one. AA isn't really GS, but they are equivalent in their cultural contexts. Or EBA vs Ouendan. If AA or EBA had been done for reasons of politics rather than reasons of profit/art, that would be culturalization.
Communists belong in the gas chamber.
>>322290676

You thought wrong
>>322284681
So basically "fuck the niche,otaku games"?
>>322286654
Not everything should be for everyone.The whole concept of "niche game" exists because there are some games that are made for a specific type of group and that is not a bad thing.
We can have mass market products and specialized ones.The Movie industry does that(music and literature too) so why can Video games too? It feels like this PC/SJW culture will eventually try to block japanese games from west because it doesn't fit with our culture.

Already happened with Dead or alive xtreme 3
It seems like for all the moaning about how people should be more diverse and more global-minded, people would be happier with localization than culturalization. Isn't being exposed to cultures you don't understand one of the best ways to learn about those cultures?
>>322284681
I am extremely opposed to it, yes.
>>322291624
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>322291454
That is the best way, but it's a lot easier for somebody else to just make all the scary unfamiliar parts of a game go away and replace them with something nice and safe and familiar.
Basically, most people don't like to have their established beliefs, values, and customs be questioned or contradicted, and when something maybe does do that, they complain and attack the offending game and developer. People are shit and everything is terrible, news at 11.
>>322290914

>>322291913
I agree that's how things seem to be. It just seems a bit silly to me that the same crowd that shouts "muh diversity" simultaneously wants foreign culture to be, for lack of a better word, "whitewashed" so they don't have their feelings hurt.
>>322291454
>people should be more diverse and more global-minded
But the whole world is being homogenizied by globalization into becoming a bad mix of USA and other countries with power.
Wich in turn is degenerating a lot of traditional values of USA and the rest of the world.

It's because the Japanese are either pervs or serious businessmen.
>>322292248
You're confused. I'm arguing in favor of straight localization, as described in OP's pic (basically just a direct translation), not the censorship "culturalization."
>>322292567
>In the worst-case, a local government may not only ban the game but take more direct action against the company, including detainment of local personnel for questioning or even incarceration.

Critical theory needs to burn and die already. It's nothing but interpreting a piece of work under the pretense that the creators are more hateful than Mega Hitler.
>>322288352
It's really an elaborate attempt to create new term that she expects to admonish localizers of the socjus persuasion from any backlash or opposition that comes when they butcher an author's original work and its intent to remove or censor content they decide are 'problematic' or 'toxic' or changing dialogue to be completely different or contain cringy memes or pop culture references where none existed before. It's a basically an attempt to create a 'get out of jail free card' for shitty localizers vandalizing Japanese games like they've been doing more of recently.

What is hollywood, what is "swearing" culture, what is fashion, what is blues, what is rock, what is food, what is guns, the list goes on and on.
The greatest part about American culture is that it's so pervasive that the whole world has to ask "what American" culture actually is, even though they've been eating up and regurgitating nothing but our cultural exports for decades.
The only thing the rest of the world rejects of ours is our gun and religious cultures.
>>322284681
As much we export our own culture onto them, it seems almost insulting for us to censor what little of their culture we receive in the name of making more money.
But if the company that made it is doing it, fine. All it does is muddy the perception we have of their own culture.
>>322293151
It sounds like cultural imperialism which is a negative thing. Also which devs would want there games to be completely changed?
>>322291454
You misunderstand, the people censoring this shit aren't SJWs trying to force an agenda, they're executives worried about scaring off customers. The driving force are the average idiots who won't understand what all this weird foreign shit in the game is and why it might have a different value system then the one they've grown up with, not rabid trannies screaming about misogyny.

The only times I can see this being valid is for jokes/puns that absolutely do not play in English. Stuff like Teddy's dialogue in P4 which wouldn't work in any language without the same grammar as Japanese.

>>322293850
Let's be honest here, what the OP pic is talking about is Japan, there is next to no difference culturally between an American and European game, and every where else doesn't have a game industry worth talking about.
Ever since NES, Japan and Video games have been highly related and no one had a problem with that until cultural authoritarians came along.
>>322295397
Tecmo Koei cited them as the reason why they didn't release DOAX3 here.

this needs to stop, it's not a joke anymore but i'm laughing anyway.
take me back to barenstein universe pls?

They did everything out of their own free will, sjw din do nuffin
>>322284681
Yes, because what is the point in trying to make everything seem familiar and safe?
This sentiment doesn't allow people the opportunity to experience or understand other cultures' concepts and values. Also fuck that last point as it is nothing but a slippery slope and fear mongering.
>>322295857
To be fair, the controversial scene (Jamie and Cersei at Joffrey's funeral) was consensual in the books, and changed to rape in the show. So maybe the creators are "changing their approach" in the sense that they're not going to change shit for no fucking reason.

Not sure what you're implying there. Last time I checked, Hollywood isn't in Israel or fucking Bethlehem

Book burning is a perfectly legitimate practice.
You're free to write whatever you want and get someone who's backward and bigoted enough to publish it.
That's freedom of speech, but you're not free from us burning all the copies of that book we can find. That's us also exercising our freedom of expression by purging what we find to be completely reprehensible ideas in protest. In other words, you have free speech, but you're not free from the consequences of that speech, which is us burning your shitty books.
You can't force us to be tolerant of intolerance.
>>322296083
That article is referring to Ramsey's rape, not Jamie's.
>>322284681
localization use to be the job title you gave to a friend's brother or sister who needed a job. now its mutated into this bullshit. No, videogames do not need to be culturalized you socialist piece of shit. stop trying to groom children with your ideology.
>>322284681
>detainment of local personnel and even incarceration
Have devs been detained or arrested for releasing video games in the past?
>>322296463
Who do you think the offended part is aimed at?
Partially mothers maybe, but a part of that has to be talking about the reactionaries.

its what ever the woman with the big nose says it is, shitlord.

Lel nigga this shit is written by a tranny with a degree in geography
>>322287935
>as an american
you are a self-hating traitor. your justification for this bullshit is stuff that NEVER HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE TIME. Get a fucking grip on reality.
>>322296532
Using this comparison from now on, thanks.

>You can't force us to be tolerant of intolerance.
You can't force anyone to be tolerant.
>>322296596
I'm not going to lie, I didn't read past the title. I assumed it was the Jamie/Cersei scene, because that scene got a lot of shit too. I can understand the outcry in that scene, but complaining about Ramsay? What kind of shit is that?
In the series, he castrates and brutally tortures a man, murders children, and flays his victims. That's all fine. Rape? Oh shit, grab your fucking pitchforks and burn HBO down, that's where the fucking line is drawn.
>>322296729
Yeah, but all of the consequences of that are mentioned as negatively impacting the bottom line.
It's still stupid, but there's a reason why this shit is actually happening. Publishers wouldn't give a shit about offended SJWs if it didn't impact sales.
>>322297003
>In the series, he castrates and brutally tortures a man
That happened to a man, there's no problem with that
>>322296532
No one ever said you didn't have the right to burn books, (well, ok someone might of said it) but the fact is to most sensible people that is just the action someone would take when they are afraid of certain ideas getting out, because they can't compete in the open exchange of ideas, so they attempt to change the rules instead of playing the game.
>>322297070
>Implying SJWs impact sales
What is Dragon's Crown

Fucking liberals, lol

shes aworthless sjw cunt with a madeup degree. She had to go out of her way to make up new words and phrases to justify her job so that she doesnt get pushed out by other losers like her all vying for the same position. What you have to realize is that localization use to be the most barebones process ever in software development. An unpaid intern could do it, it wasn;t important at all. But over time it's evolved into this self-aware construct of nonsensicality, but we are so politically correct that people just nod their heads and hand wave it since they dont want to be called a bigot, a racist, or a sexist for calling people like her out on their bullshit.
Customers want products. They do not need to be hand held, or spoon fed political correctness nor do they desire it. They will eat it if presented to them, but it does not in any way shape or form push product. The early success of the nes and sega systems are perfect examples of this. As are 80s and 90s arcade games. The player just needs to know their goal and the controls. A winner is you and CONGRADULATIONS ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO SAVE THE PRESIDENT is all the text that is required to enjoy a game. As long as the menu screens arent in moonrunes, the player will figure it out and have fun.
But no. Now we have all these useless do nothing cunts involved inthe process. They drive up the price and delay the release while acting like they are doing us a favor. Fuck them.
>>322297070
If any SJW contribute to people to not buy any games. So pandering to them is something they shouldn't do.
>>322297294
Driving sales up is still an impact, just a positive one.
>>322293850
>they're executives worried about scaring off customers.
No. They are executives who are surrounded by an office full of sjws who tell them that this stuff scares customers. Look at blade and soul. It was one of the premier mmorpgs to come out of korea in like 2012, made by the biggest mmo dev/publisher in korea. To this day, it is extremely profitable in korea. But we havent gotten it in na or eu yet. Only recently (2015) have we heard its in beta. And lo and behold, it still isnt out because a team of sjw cuckholds arent translating the game. But instead, they are nit picking through all the game's dialog and removing sex jokes and other 'problematic' text. This isn't because some suit thinks a game rated 18+ cant be handled by adults, but because a group of biased fucks who have been trapped in their circle jerk for years told them otherwise. And who are the suits to argue? That';s what they pay these people for!
>>322297617
Yes, but negative press != directly influencing censorship.
They can bitch, moan, complain to the developers all they like for what I care, but when these seedy idea-men wannabe's slide inside company's circles to pitch the idea of "Hey there goys, you might want to censor this, I have friends in high places who tell me it will be VERY, VERY bad for you to keep this as it is!" I just detest it.
>>322297157
Well he wasn't a man after.
>>322296083
cersei was the crazy incest whore in the books, but that was changed for the series because it wasnt politically correct. The scene had to be changed to rape for the series specifically because they had changed her character so much.
>>322291986
>>322298654
c'mon m8
i always felt that direct translation turns out pretty flat.
i don't mind a bit if they change a cultural joke or something, but sometimes the people in charge of localization can go absolutely nuts and make the script retarded.
>>322298654
Anyone who doesn't like garmergate is either uniformed or a sjw.
I think games that do that should be required to put somewhere on the packaging that it is not the true experience.
>>322286927
You're right. That's why shows like Gintama aren't popular at all on streaming sites.
Except it's is. And you're retarded
>>322284681
>culturalization ensures that gamers will not be disengaged by a piece of content that is considered incongruent or even offensive in the game's environment
>Cultural mistakes often prove to be costly for game developers... a local government may not only ban the game but take more direct action against the company, including detainment of local personnel for questioning and even incarceration
WAKE ME UP
CAN'T WAKE UPFUUUUUUCKCFCK
HA HA HA, you thought that Japan was safe? Did you seriously think that Japan wouldn't be touched, or would get away with not following this safe-space diversity-first racist SJW trend? Did you actually think you'd get away with actually playing video games? Huh?
WELL YOU'RE WRONG, DEAD WRONG.
THEY'VE DONE IT MOTHERFUCKER, THEY'VE FUCKING DONE IT.
1. Censor the evil Japanese material to hell and back without any input from the actual Japanese development team.
2. Isolate and intimate the Japanese companies from even DARING to release their content overseas.
JAPAN IS NOW DEAD. IT'S OVER, THEY WON. TIME TO PICK A NEW HOBBY NERDS, FUCK.
>>322288361
This is such a "SJW" perception of culture. And it oozes with anti-white hatred.
Consider killing yourself faggot.

>mfw globalism wins and the varied, unique and interesting races/cultures/languages/societies which have individually developed over the course of thousands of years are wiped out and eroded to make way for a gray, bland consumer-race within my lifetime
If I didn't love my family so much I would have killed myself by now.
