The mere mention of the word, "politics" isn't sufficient Panta doggo.
Nor does Twitter tagging work on this website :O
But yes, my eyes are open. Don't get too cozy in here. That said...
Japan is currently in danger. Not from Corpos outsourcing software production, but from Western activists pushing non-Japanese culture as something that Japan needs. To say nothing of activist localizers seeking to pervert Japanese media via misrepresentative translation, using the 90s space/budget limited translations as a bulwark against criticism by insinuating they're done for the same reasons.
If I'd known my preferred media were gonna be the targets of activists when I was a teen, I woulda hard swerved into learning Japanese, and sought to become a translator myself.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda. *sigh*
If only I possessed the ability to perceive the whole of causality. It'd make moderating a lot easier too.
