what has me more convinced of peoples' sincerity, that they've been dealing with this shit for years and enough is enough, is the fact that it's not all about "woke" lines
I saw some video, I forget where, where the criticism wasn't that the localizer was woking up the anime, but that they were adding weird fetishy things and modern meme speak
like some character was supposed to talk about how they were waiting for someone, but instead mentioned that they had to pee, for no reason at all
you would think anime nerds might welcome localizations that embrace horniness, but no, they just want the fucking thing to be accurate
now based on what I know of japanese, it's an exceedingly boring utilitarian Vulcan language, so perfectly accurate translations would tend to be bland, but that's just my opinion, and if bland is accurate then so be it
