![Translations for Goemon 2 & 3 (sequels to Legend of the Mystical Ninja) have finally been released. #18 Friday at 3:24 PM It's a shame that DDSTranslation hates Era and has me on block on Twitter for being an Era member. :T I guess there's some kind of ResetEra block list out there somewhere. DarknessTear Member Use of a transgender slur in Goemon 3 patch... « on: January 25, 2020, 04:35:13 pm » Hi all. This was recently brought to my attention. I was so disgusted by it I wanted to post it in here so that everyone knows it's out there. Kemeko: I'm actually a t-----. Should I tell my boyfriend the truth? 01910ryo Px02 21 While the source material uses the word "newhalf" in Japanese, keep in mind that it was in the 90's when the game was made. We're in 2020. "T-----" has no place in our translations or in our community in general. This slur is extremely offensive to the transgender community. It's their version of the n-word. I have several friends in this community and they battle this sort of thing all the time. I ask that this patch be updated to a more modern and respectful term for transgender folks. I also ask that RHDN please remove the patch until this has been addressed. Thanks. « Last Edit: January 25, 202o, 05:29:51 pm by Hoky » Logged #136 Today at 3:19 AM Had a brief chat with Tom on Twitter about why he locked his twitter account. He's deeply disturbed so many accusing him of being a right-wing loon and a monster. Even told me people he knew for years had severed ties with him. So he has decided to never fan translate again. thinking his work to be worthless and destructive. CO Andy If you have had any direct contact with him, i would suggest sending some words of encouragement his way. Member #141 Today at 4:12 AM The translator should have consulted someone if they didn't know how to translate the text to English. Initially it looked like they did it in bad faith based on how DDS Translations activated some Era blocklist and follow right- wing public figures but I'm not sure now. chaobreaker Just seems really irresponsible if it wasn't done out of malice. Member #142 Today at 4:13 AM Good to hear that there's quick movement and Tom is also receptive to the feedback apparently. Annoying af though that the "OMG CENSORSHIP" squad already arrived to tell everyone who asked for this to be changed to please do it themselves and leave the poor creator alone as we gotta preserve the harmful language at all costs, you guys!!!!11 TheMoon JOTI Member Today at 7:15 AM #150 silverhick said: O [stuff] Robin64 Member Don't admit to this. :) Today at 7:17 AM #152 TheMoon said: O Don't read the replies to that tweet. The "accuracy!!" "only 1:1 translation!" "it's your job to be accurate!" "censorship!!" squad is in full force again. This is why we can't have nice things .jesus.
