> Japan has a longstanding bias against lefties, and many left-handed children were trained to use their right hand. So manga artists and their fans weren’t crazy about seeing left-handed warriors in the U.S. versions.
That's probably not the angle I would've chosen if the intent was to garner sympathy.
- olddustytrail 3y agoThat's not the username I would've chosen were it my intent to garner sympathy.
- AdmiralAsshat 3y agoOh no! You got me! My critique of an article has been undone by my irreverent username!
- olddustytrail 3y agoIt's about the same level of relevance as your critique, don't you think?
- AdmiralAsshat 3y agoNot really. Given that the article's argument was "The old method of localizing manga was flawed because X, Y, and Z", I don't consider Y to be a good supporting detail when it essentially boils down to, "Japan has an irrational hatred of left-handed people." One is germane to the discussion. "I'm disregarding your argument because don't think your username is very professional" isn't, unless the discussion were perhaps about lack of decorum in online discussions.
- olddustytrail 3y agoYou didn't say supporting detail, you said garner sympathy. Learn to use your words, perhaps?
