An interesting tale of how news is fabricated these days. The original tweet that is the basis for the linked article:
"not to sound snobby but i’m fluent in korean and i watched squid game with english subtitles and if you don’t understand korean you didn’t really watch the same show. translation was so bad. the dialogue was written so well and zero of it was preserved"
The typical Twitter unhinged take. It's not slightly off or could have been better, no, its ZERO. YOU DIDN'T WATCH THE SAME SHOW. The follow-up tweet is of course to blame white people, as expected.
Next, these unreasonable takes are the basis of news articles because they too love a controversy, and there it is: an industry problem is made up.
Meanwhile, in the real world nobody cares. They watched Squid Games and loved it.
- xdfgh1112 5y agoI played a visual novel called Raging Loop in Japanese. The game relies on lots of Japan cultural stuff and native language puns. The HUGE script was translated to English by one guy who did his best but a lot was lost. Typos, awkward sentences, parts that don't make sense. And yet the English version has high ratings on metacritic and Steam. Clearly the majority didn't notice or care. Maybe a good story overcomes an average translation.
