It's a choice. Maybe not the best, but it fits in the context of the scene and was approved by the original studio in Japan if it made it to the dub. Not my fault the word "patriarchy" makes you feel attacked.

This wasn't approved, none of it gets approved by the studio, you have no idea how any of this actually works. Also aren't you supposed to be going to "work", and it's not feeling attacked, its putting things into works that aren't supposed to be there at all or even in context to the show.
Also that isn't explaining how its correct for a translation or localization, funi approving it means jack shit, as is everything you've said here.

@DRHaste23 Don't play dumb. You know very well that the reason why the "Gamergate" line in Prison School is poorly received is that it ran in contradiction to Funimation's previous statements of producing an accurate script. Nowhere in the original script is Gamergate even mentioned.
And this isn't the first time Funimation has taken liberties with the translation of the script. It's one thing to translate the script as possible while making adjustments due to lip flaps. It's quite another to deliberately change the script into something that was never intended.
In a way, we've come full circle to "jelly doughnuts." Only this time its not because "dumb kids won't understand different cultural reference."

And what exactly should Vic had been quiet about? Because the last I checked, he didn’t tell his fan to get raped, wished castration and beheading on his colleague, call anyone a pedophile and whine about some disgruntled gamers like they were some kind of boogeymen.

Yea, it's safe to say you're kv/lawltwitter with the same parrot talk they all do. You even have the same delusion of thinking you're dunking on everyone here. But I am curious how you believe the Dragon maid one fits the context when it obviously doesn't to many others.

Most anitubers and "Translators/Localizers" and VAs are all imperialistic fuckers that want to impose American ideals on other countries. They all hate anime and Japan.

Good luck, kid.
You're gonna have to put forth proof that that was "approved."
98% of the time the Japanese side doesn't GAF about the accuracy of the US localization. They care even less than the fans do. It's a commodity to them. They just sell time limited regional distribution rights. It's a secondary income source from a secondary market.
There are exceptions to this. Famously, Miyazaki. Because he is an artist who actually owns the rights to his own stuff. That is a rarity though.
I didn't initially advance the theory he's LT. It is theoretically possible though.

I want to go back to the time of jelly-filled doughnuts, cousins, the Shadow Realm, and blowing up cargo robots. It was nothing but wholesome family entertainment.

To the vast majority of the world, Gamergate isn't even a thing at all.

I have no idea what LT you're talking about, but the LT I know is constantly sucking each other off. They share blockchains, FFS.
Case in point, they went off on UL, because he had the audacity to say that he doesn't think the appeal is going anywhere, BUT commented positively on Nick's amicus brief (the horror!).
I think by that point it should be clear that they're not applying a dispassionate legal analysis to anything, but that their criticism is far more personal in nature. UL gave an opinion/prediction that is actually more in line with theirs in terms of the final outcome of the case, but they straight up hate Nick, so UL has to be burned too. They picked a fight with UL for absolutely no logical reason. That's pretty lame.

I somehow forgot about this, what with the Davis bashing being more hard-hitting.
Hi please do not involve my chosen people's food thx

Yes, Master!
Is video game journalism even as big in Japan as it is over here?
The only person allowed to help himself to me is @TerribleIdeas™ and thats only because he invented the drying pan.
I doubt they're even aware of Gamergate. Maybe some westaboos are vaguely aware of it. In any event, it doesn't matter. Most of the audience will have no fucking clue what the line is even about. This makes it a shit translation. Not only isn't it accurate, it just doesn't even make any sense now, much less 10 years from now. Jamie Marchi literally just threw it in because she's an obsessed cunt with some weird fetish about it.
