I’m glad Matsuno is happy with Vagrant Story and Tactics localization, but dunno if that could work for every video game and I doubt Vanillaware has any input beyond “yeah, sure”.

They completely redid the Tactics localisation for the PSP and mobile War Of the Lions ports, which are now the 'definitive' version so the original can't have gone down that well

[Hap Shaughnessy]

I encourage all the people in that thread lionizing Bushnell to "put up or shut up".

[Tycoon Padre]

whether or not he was mentally unwell (likely not)

They did the same with FFVI, and some people seems to love the original localization.  

I think is fair modifying for the rerelease, people are absolutely crazy if they think that stuff like Catslevania “Die Monster” is acceptable unchanged (if only because the voice acting).

I want all of the people screaming genocide in that thread to give us some nice concrete examples of how it’s genocide to begin with. The population in Gaza/Palestine has only gone up, so this must be the worst genocide attempt in human history.

[Eric Cartman]

I think Aaron said what he wanted to say loud and clear, and he was far louder than the millions of people who have been protesting this already.

If someone on this forum posted that they were going to do this, would your first reaction be to support them in their action or tell them to not commit suicide?

My first reaction would be to act in accordance with administrative procedure regarding open expressions of suicidal ideation. But I'm not sure what the question has to do with my post.

I also want to, once again, remind people that Aaron Bushnell deliberately sacrificed himself as a form of protest against the Palestinian genocide that Western countries, namely the US, have been allowing to happen.

[Daffy Duck]

Absolutely fucking nobody has ever committed suicide specifically for a political purpose. That is inarguably not a thing that happens, by literal fucking definition. Any suggestion otherwise is fucking disgusting.

Era has always been total fucking dogshit on mental health. Since the day I got here, I have consistently felt as if I would literally be better off in the political hands of people who literally believe my illnesses do not exist. Not one single time have I been convinced that the overwhelming majority of those most vocal on Era view mental health as anything less than a fucking cudgel to give their preferred political issues ever so slightly more moral authority. Thrown under the bus at each and every possible chance, by users and by moderation that consistently hasn't ever given the slightest fucking shit. I will never forget the thread where someone claimed in the very first fucking post that mental illness is actually not a real illness and then went on for a full fucking thread repeatedly and aggressively brow beating people with stated mental illnesses they did not agree with. Moderation banned multiple people in this thread who interacted with this (iirc prominent) poster and didn't say a single goddamned word to a straight fucking troll allowed to go on for like twenty fucking pages.

A thread chock fucking full of total fucking assholes twisting themselves into pretzels to reframe something so blatantly fucking obvious isn't the slightest bit surprising. Seriously, go fuck yourselves. I'm done with this place.

Damn, did they just self immolate their account?

[books]

B-Dubs, get your girl Nep some help. She's fucking insane.

[kaleidoscopium]

For a reprieve from the lionizing of a suicide by fire retard, there’s a new development in the Nex Saga 

According to Nex's classmates and friends, Nex also went by he/him pronouns.

So why was he they in the girls restroom throwing water on girls and shoving them into paper towel dispensers? 

So why isn't she considered to be inciting terrorism or something?

Honestly at this point because I believe just because we live in a cruel world.

With how much 2S and LGBTQ+ natives up in Klanada here are condemned by our own communities, it doesn't surprise me that we're not represented properly in mainstream media. Colonization working its magic to erase people who always existed.

Ironically I am going to post badly machine translations of some interesting things he had to say

https://www.resetera.com/threads/yasumi-matsuno-responds-to-localization-backlash-for-unicorn-overlord.821298/

You could just not do it. It always ends in tears.

I would like to know if their level of japanese rises beyond machine translations anyway. I even doubt these types even took japanese lessons once in their lives.

The OP outright did a Machine Translation.

There is backlash for localizations in general due to the cringe narrative that localizers are taking too many liberties with translations so make sure if you like a translation you make it known on social media or elsewhere.

You have a dude that just outright admitted this. Why you guys keep acting like it is coming from nowhere? That’s why people are wary of this shit. 

Is it really a backlash when a single person on Twitter has a shit opinion?

Should probably have gone with a different title sure

The state of media reporting these days. "Backlash" when it's just actually one or two persons.

All of these problems would be solved if these tightarse, idiotic companies actually used accredited and reputable translation services from a professional company instead of some schmuck from the internet.

The other forms of protest people mention haven't done anything. It's why, rightly or wrongly, people take it to this extreme. It's a final attempt to be heard, to effect change. Immediately discounting it as mental illness is to invalidate their desperation at having no other means to do so in a system actively complicit in genocide.

Something sticks in my throat at her using genocide in the way they do and being up in this thread talking about protests against genoicde. Do you see how fucked up it is to claim your little trans troubles are equivalent to actual genoicde?

[kaleidoscopium]

Neither of them are genocides which is why it comes off as stupid, but the trans one even more so.

[Daffy Duck]

Also in the incels taking a dislike to women character designs, clickycunt drops this hot take

To simplify it, it's porn addiction from people that have never once interacted with a woman irl.

Not sure if she’s talking about her fellow ERA posters or not tbh

[kaleidoscopium]

Going by some exchanges with white lawyers online, the First Amendment is worth more than the lives of minorities.

Ken White, aka Pope Hat, will insult people suggesting that we look at removing protection of hate speech as free speech.

A lot of people are learning that the US is and has been for a long time, the most despicable empire to ever exist yeah. A large share of the world's problems right now can be traced back. Libs always tired to remain nonchalant about it and act like it comes with the territory as if disregard for human life just comes with the territory of political power . That's "just how it is", it's bad but remain calm, trust in the system and vote sort of thing.

It's becoming more and more apparent to the layman that the number one bad guy is the US. The biggest threat to the human race is the US. The number one entity holding back progress is the US. There is no viable non evil alternative available to take part in and it's codified into the entire way the country is ran. In order for us to proceed as a collective, the US (who's the frontline and glue holding together european imperialism and the things that down with it (eg. genocide) must FAIL.

It cannot be rehabilitated or negotiated with, it must be voided. Anything that isn't straight up revolution is a waste of time. Satan has to die. The more libs try to pacify and keep the ratchet going, the more it becomes apparent that they are Satan's helpers and are enemies just like the blatant right is.

Also something I was wondering, should this be a member's only thread?

Y' know, I never considered that.

Seems the ridicule the thread got from Twohearts recently is spooking them to make the thread members-only

2 week ban for this… hit dog holler alright 

I do not think it wise to frame self immolation suicide as a noble endeavor of giving your life for a cause.

It’s tantamount to endorsement and shameful.

Maybe if the trans maniacs self-immolated, people might actually post in their genocide thread?

Is fucking Chief Malik. How many chances this dude had? Here is saying shit like “Satan has to die” with a fucking NES Ganon avatar.

[kaleidoscopium]

This was Israel's response the last time it happened:

In a statement, the consul general of Israel to the south-east US, Anat Sultan-Dadon, said that the diplomatic mission is "saddened to learn of the self-immolation at the entrance to the office building".

"It is tragic to see the hate and incitement toward Israel expressed in such a horrific way," she added.

Just sickening in every way

Yes, sickening that extremism against Israel has forced these mentally ill people to take their lives in pursuit of a terrorist group like this.

All the posters from the Hamas fan club thread are there, celebrating a useless immolation and martyrdom like the Muslim stereotypes they are. If Nepenthe was not such a coward they will throw anti semitic insults openly.

[kaleidoscopium]

This thread really should be locked as it is shocking news that really does nothing but upset those who read it. However, given Era's current state, I'm not surprised it's allowed to remain open. RIP to Aaron and I hope his family and friends can find peace and solace.

To those of you in this thread talking about how he did a lot for the cause, more than others who are still alive and protesting, shame on you.

Would you say the same thing if someone killed themselves and said it was in protest of Hamas' actions toward Israel and Palestinians? What about if someone self-immolated over Republicans not allowing aid for Ukraine? Would any of you care? Or is that not the right cause to support? Would you remember that a human being died and there's a family left behind in their passing who really likely doesn't give a shit what some assholes saying "Rest in Power Aaron" and "yeah Free Palestine!" on Twitter and ResetEra think about him? Hope all y'all support the inevitable funeral expenses and therapy their family will need.

RIP Aaron.

Willing to kill himself for a cause. Something Nepnep will never do from her cushy life in the suburbs posting reactionary content online while daddy and mommy feed her chicken nuggets.

White man lights himself on fire and he gets 7 pages worth of replies while the trans genocide took from Apr 22, 2023 to Yesterday to get that many replies, and that's counting BOTH threads.

Wow. White man killing himself even has more replies than Nex Benedict's thread.

I see you where your priorities are Resetera.

Next time somebody creates a suicide thread the mods better encourage them to do it, but make sure to mention they are doing it for a “Good Cause”.

…And there you have it, the perfect political martyr!

“I can’t go on. No job. No partner. No future. I need to end it all. What might help is donating to my gofun…”

“Good news! Kerosine is cheap. Be sure to yell “watch captain marvel 2 on disney plus,” comrade. Do it somewhere with cameras and people. Rest in (tbd)!”

Kerosene won't work very well. You should use gasoline.

Slower fire means more suffering. Will make a better video for Nepenthe to use in her communist uprising propaganda videos.

Unironically, it’s heartening to know there are still sane people there. I’m not familiar with who is running the forum at this point. But they could fix all this and help a lot of people in an afternoon. At a point you have to dismiss ignorance or laziness and recognize the admins and mods are maliciously preying on vulnerable users.

If only there was a way to shock the system into making a chan…
