colonizer? like if they were localizing and translating a game from japan... back to japan? lol these fools are unhinged. anyone critical of localization should look at games like Phoenix Wright and how much better it was because of it. instead of translating literally, they instead went straight to localizing the intention and feel of the game. if they were really made about the translation they would have been mad about translating Ryū ga Gotoku to Yakuza in the first place. these are a lot of bad actors complaining while not even knowing what was being said in the first place.
You were called "coloniser", that's funny, I'll explain why: I'm playing through Judgement just now and recently completed a side quest for a steak restaurant owner. The game lionises this owner of the steak restaurant chain, even using triumphant music in the background while the game characters all gush over this owner's perceived accomplishments. I'm a socialist so this jarred with me as I stand with workers not owners. Why do Japanese games come with such blatant capitalist propaganda as this? Due to the control USA has exercised over Japanese economic arrangements since the end of WW2. That's your imperialism there. Not language translations. So its funny to me that these little brats attacking you online are too brainwashed to recognise this. Anyway, great video and well done for standing up to the mob.
Thank you so much for talking about this! I agree with every point you have made and it's refreshing to see a normal take every once in a while. I felt like I was going insane reading all the replies against the localization for the Like a Dragon games and their supposed accuracy.
Cool channel man

Its funny how these people doesnt even know what was the context here. These people never even played any of the games.
