Re: RIP Toren Smith..
It's utterly sad that the current "standard" for "translation" nowadays is to leave as many Japanese honorifics and nuances untranslated as possible.
"We're too lazy to translate fucking everything, so we left a glossary for you to do half of our work"
I could take honorifics in a Japanese setting but honorifics in a western or non-Japanese setting is where I draw the line.
It's hard to take comics like Ubel Blatt seriously when we have people shouting "GLEN-SAMA" or "Ascheriit-kun!".
The "professional" "translators" of today are pissing all over the efforts of people like Toren Smith.
