[QUOTE="Deleted-384698, post: 7007056"] As someone who understands quite a bit of Japanese but is not at a level where they can understand everything quite yet and definitely cannot read well, I get pretty annoyed at the many times where text and audio or subtitles and audio are not representative of what's currently being said in undubbed versions of games or anime, but I'm aware this is probably a small percentage of people. What I don't think is acceptable is "cultural translation", that is changing something to be seen as something equivalent to a western audience or changing something to be "more acceptable" with cultural quirks in mind, often resulting in portions of western releases being removed or retextured or censored or outright changed for a western release. I'm aware outrage culture is a fucking mess in the west but god do I hate that companies perpetuate that bullshit, the west's continued insistence that cultural relativism is a sham and their view on the world is the ultimate objectively true value system (whether it be left or right mind you) is a poison and a clear remnant of our imperialist "past". You say a "better product" and I say an "easy to swallow pill for baby people". [/QUOTE]

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that
