I wanted her to be president for years! I bought her book as soon as it came out. I set google alert on my phone back in early 2015 to know when she announces. Then in 2016 I quit my job, packed my bags, put my life on hold to move to a new state so I could work on Hillary Clinton’s campaign for 12+ hours / 7 days a…

I was so excited to vote for her. I brought my 7 year old daughter into the booth with me and made her put her hand over mine as I made the mark that voted for HRC. Then I cried for the whole walk back to our house in California, where my vote is worth a fraction of the vote of some racist white guy in Montana. We…

Your response made me tear up all over again. You better believe I was damn excited for a Hillary presidency (as was my husband, family, most of my friends) and not just because she was a woman, I was excited because it was THIS woman. She would have been a fantastic leader.

and the fact is we still feel like we HAVE TO ADD “was she perfect?” which, whatever, i’m fucking sick of saying no she wasn’t perfect. nobody prefaces comments about bernie fucking sanders with “was he perfect?” even though it is self evident that nobody is perfect.

i refuse to have to bow down to the anger of fake…

What they ACTUALLY meant was “Men weren’t excited about Hillary Clinton”. I live with one right now. He never stopped telling me how much Hillary failed to excite him. And the entire time all I could hear was “She’s old and not even remotely fuckable”.

When I voted for her in the general, I was moved to tears. Actual real tears. It was the first time I voted for any woman in the presidential election.

Ditto.

It could’ve been you, Hill. I will never stop being sad.

For restaurants, yes. But the Michelin Pussy Guide actually goes up to 8 stars. But most only get 3 at most, so 5 is really good. Their only 8 Star pussy ever was this woman in rural Japan who lived in this shack that only locals (and REALLY cool tourists) knew about. Sadly, it closed in 1998.

Michelin tires and the Michelin restaurant guide are the same company.

So it’s not only a racist crack at anyone who is offended by the KKK, it’s also a racist crack at Japanese folks themselves. Classy. This whole fiasco makes more sense the more you comment.

I don’t translate games, but I do other J2E translations.
Part of your job is protecting your client from making a faux pas in their target language.
Putting something like “KKK Witches” in the game would have made XSEED and Aquire look bad, and probably hurt the sales of the games and future games as well.

So you…

You are literally the problem with the community (anime/manga/scanlations/localization). Trying to uphold something dumb because it’s what was there and won’t go with changing it because muh animoos. The freakin’ devs realized they screwed up and changed it because it’s a tasteless joke and you STILL try to defend it.

You argued that it’s funny because of it’s “shock value.” Which is entirely independent of the cultural reference to NKK Switches. So how do you argue that the hate group allusion is not relevant?

Uhh, what? You thought Japanophiles would laugh at references to the KKK?? I’m sorry but whats cutesy Engrish about a reference to a group that exists expressly to oppress racial groups? What did you expect people to be like, “haha those poor ignorant racist Japanese folks, how cute”??

Whether it’s funny isn’t relevant. You’re the one who changed the original intellectual intent of that joke, not them, by trying to enforce a separate meaning onto it.

You picked a hill to die on and everyone is wondering why you flopped down on a molehill.

So not only did the wordplay not localize, the developer themselves backed entirely away from the gag when the first part of the conversation was tabled.

....you do not demonstrate commitment to principles. You demonstrate commitment to your own self importance and being an asshole, and worse: being loud about it. I…

I completely agree. There is a conversation to be had about whether body modification is a symptom of the unhealthy obsession we have with women’s bodies, but to shame a woman for her body is, perhaps ironically, one of the probable root causes of the insecurities that make women feel like they have to modify…

How did this get ungrayed? I guess the commenters at jezebel have sunk to the level of the dailymail or TMZ, and it’s interesting and fun to talk about how disgusting this woman’s body is. Fuck you, and fuck everyone else saying similar things. It’s hurtful to ALL WOMEN, not just Kim K, when we discuss women’s bodies…
