I'm in Love with the Villainess - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - To be a Lily

[TheGodEmperor]

@Thelilwitch iirc, the mangaka is also LGBTQ+ community so a lot is so well done cause it's written from their own perspective/experiences/thoughts on the matter.

 

[ZdrytchX]

This was a nice light hearted chapter. LGBTQ+ communites can be quite depressing after all

"Lady Claire has someone she likes, I want to support her. I'm satisfied just being near her. Furthermore, My goal isn't to be with Lady Claire, I just wish to make her happy."

Thanks for the translation!

Ouch

 

[Nyashi]

I released a quick "hotfix" of sorts, if you guys notice any mistakes left over feel free to point them out here or in my DMs
(specifically the big thing i changed is that, while Rei does make the distinction between sex and gender many times in the series, this is not one of those times.)
Apologies for assuming instead of translating things as-is m(_ _)m

What a bitter sweet ch

Attaching garbage politics, that wasn't present in the original chapter. A worrying sign indeed. I wonder why that happened. Something on that page, must have hit a nerve. This has happened yet again. Translator A is too slow. Then translator B appears and butchers it. Extremely predictable at this point.

 

[Nyashi]

@fleeingpasserby I won't shy away from saying I made a mistake and that I'm not as good as the original group but I assure you the "garbage politics" have been in the work since the webnovel, a simple look at Inori-sensei's twitter (inori_narou) should tell you as much .
If you're not one to enjoy LGBT themes in media then this series is not for you, believe me or don't as you see fit.

@boag

Lionel Higgins (Dear White People), Robin Buckley (Stranger Things), Raymond Holt (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)

Billie Jean King (Battle of the Sexes), Amy (Booksmart), Chiron (Moonlight)

Even side characters like Giles in The Shape of Water are more relatable than Rei.

EDIT - I do wish to correct my earlier claim. Gay people are relatable, and they don't need films to *make* them so. What should have said is that there are numerous shows/films that depict relatable gay characters.

 

[lmpmax3000]

@fleeingpasserby LGBT was definitely touched upon in the originals but do not take up a significant portion of the story. If you're not a big fan of it just skip and move on.

Bahahhaha really, thanks 4 the translation IDTSAOMOS ! Have a good day

@Nyashi The "mistake" was obviously intentional. Stop trying to use the author as a way to push your own agenda.

 

[Nyashi]

@fleeingpasserby As I said, not pushing my own agenda, there's at least 3 separate trans characters in the series and Rei speaks out about the difference between sex and gender multiple times. The wording was odd and it confused me, apologies if my work translating from my third language into my second is shoddy but I'm really not injecting anything into the work. If I'd been trying to push an agenda I wouldn't have corrected the mistake in the first place.
Read the light novel if you don't believe me but don't try to push blame onto me for anything more than a genuine mistake.

EDIT: Actually, since I'm sure you won't bother to check, here's a passage copied and pasted directly from chapter 192 of the web novel (which is available on Jingle Translations for you to double check):

Even in the twenty-first-century, this kind of thinking was something that was not fully supported either.

“Biological sex is not necessarily the same as gender identity, Your Honor.”
“Gender identity?”
“Yes. Most people don’t even notice these things because their sexes and genders are the same, but there’s a minority of people that suffer because both of those things don’t match.”

Thank you for the Trans! <3
