There's more localizer drama
This time someone who was contracted to help with a dub of an old anime started speaking about it quite openly, not hiding that he actually hates the source material and kept making changes. Partly removing stuff he considered transphobic but also making general changes where he thought the writing was bad. He later deleted the post and the company stated that they wont work with him again.
Even more interesting is the reaction by other localizers though, who seem less mad at the guy for being a bad localizer but instead rather mad that he talked about it openly.
