Hmm... not a fan of the t-word here.

 

[dirak]

t-slur yikes. rest seems great.

 

[BlackIrelia]

Idk whats wrong with the use of the word. You're literally listening to ppl who torture and kill ppl in their basements but their language is what offends you? Tf is wrong with you ppl lol

 

[Generika]

It's not just the word coming from bad people, it's also the design of the character in question that's a big yikes.

 

[BuggleBallugles]

Am I missing something here? What t-word are y'all talking about, is it the manly transgender? Even though, be honest, we've all seen one in our life, it's not even a slur- the poor woman may have been kidnapped and trapped as their prisoner for ages. Character design should be the least of our worries ffs.

I guess it's just weird to see such a batshit insane but nonetheless open-minded author crack out a big old slur. To be fair though in Japan most consider "okama" to be inappropriate at most, so not exactly a slur for them.

One of my favorite Dowman chapters. But of course, justice warriors have no sense of context and have to ruin every good thing going.
Listen up you dimwits: obvious bad guys doing and saying bad guy things is not an "oof"
But go ahead, ruin good things for yourselves for no reason

 

[Damniel]

Lmao if you actually care they said a mildly offensive slur while they were keeping people kidnapped in a basement your priorities are all fucked and maybe you should direct your attention to actual problems in the world

 

[KipTheGamer]

Nice.

Everyone talking about the slur but not mentioning that the translators chose the word so it might not have been quite so bad in japanese but the real thing to note is the stereotypical and offensive depiction of a transgender person

At this point, though, I think it mostly comes down cultural norms. That is to say, the majority of japanese people wouldn't give a joke like this a second thought so Dowman probably didn't either. Most individuals probably said shitty offensive things as kids but learned that those things were shitty and offensive and eventually stopped; the same thing happens on cultural levels and japanese society just hasn't moved past treating transgender people as jokes. That doesn't make it okay but the cultural context is important to consider before casting judgment on the author. Thanks for attending my TED talk
