With the contempt with which the job is regarded in-world, that would make "porter" fit even better. You've seen the sneer in the first chapter, and how in this second chapter that dancer floozy went from "Ay papi, give me your Big Tasty and fertilize the eggs in my McMuffin, and not just for breakfast" to "Khajiit has cunt if you have coin" after glancing so much as a glint of his job tag faster than Content ID can fuck you over your newest YT upload because during recording some neighbour three floors up happened to intonate the first three notes of the newest pop garbage on his ass trumpet while having a particularly musical shit.
A small amount of non-English people will know what porter means. I understand some people such as @baconcat think that everyone is instilled with the
Cool story bro. Goes to show that owning a dictionary doesn't make you a good translator.
People that don't know english not understanding an english translation... The fuck. If that's the case, learn english or read the translation that suits you best.
Also, LOL. Where did that even come from.
I genuinely laughed out loud at that.FTFY. Never said anything of the sort. What I did say was that everyone has access to readily available resources of learning. You know, should the need to instill something arise.
Never said anything of that sort, either.
Yeah, but you're not reading a translation into Dutch.
Surprise, cognates and loanwords and false friends and whatnot are a thing. Wake the fuck up and smell the maple-nut crunch. See response to earlier quote.
So, without a second thought, you found time and attention prudent and worth diverting towards boldly venturing to consult a learning resource available literally at your fingertips to requisition your pitchforks and torches for your armchair linguistics crusade in the name of idiocy in a discussion thread, yet you deem expecting the discerning reader to spend even a fraction of that on a single passing word an utterly disproportionate and unreasonable demand? Don't you find this the least bit ironic?
Your point? At some point, only a small amount of people knew how to fly to space, let alone how to build the machines that can fly to space. At some point, only a small amount of people knew how to make semiconductors. How to use, generate, and distribute electricity. How to ride a bicycle. How to build one. How to speak a language they didn't grow up with, English or otherwise. (Or in fact the one they were to grow up with. You know, what with just having been born and shit.) How to communicate in writing and speaking. How to cultivate crops and domesticate animals. How to make fire. How to make tools and weapons and hunt and gather with them and protect your hard-earned gains and your females from the next motherfucker trying to nick your shit and stab you in the spleen. (Or be that motherfucker yourself; not judging, socioevolutionarily speaking.) And they all got off their asses and discovered, invented, and researched, and learned, and even taught. You know, as opposed to whining and bitching about how something dared inconveniencing their ways of the status quo. Thankfully, on account of human ingenuity being prevalent enough, there were only very insignificantly few like you in the history of humanity to be of any impactful detriment, or we'd have gone extinct as a failed branch, a backfired joke, of evolution about fifteen million years ago, and would have deserved it.
Same place every stupid shit comes from. The internet.
The people dissing you are functionally retarded. Zoomers are barely literate, and hilariously enough, they are evidently content with that. Sad state of affairs. I blame common-core education, fatherlessness, and most importantly, instant gratification and dopamine abuse, courtesy of modern internet and social media.
I can waste equally as many words dissecting your comment now that the degree of ranting and name-calling has decreased ever so slightly, but I still feel like it's a fat waste of time (hence I replaced your previous ad hominem rant with something more amusing), because you still haven't got the faintest of clues that this is a manga with limited space for text and not a novel where you can type to great delight in the way you want. Accurate translation is always important, but when conveying the implied definition can be done with the use of a synonym, depending on the work's context (such as tone and the translator's preferences), that is most often the correct word to choose. Beyond such characteristics is the fact that a carrier… is… functionally the correct word. And since carry is very well-known, preferring a word like this means including a wider audience. If you hate accessibility, for example you prefer children and non-native English readers to die instead of reading a manga without the need of a dictionary, then good for you and enjoy your life.
As I've stated before, I don't have strong feelings one way or the other, I prefer carrier as it is a correct translation and certainly the best choice for any popular trash isekai read by a vast variety of people, but it wouldn't make much of a difference if it's introduced and explained. Hell, they can think of a new word as long as it's properly explained: we carry items and all the party's other shit, we're mildly intelligent pack-mules. Beyond that I don't know about the raws and can't judge whether either word would better convey the author's choice of words and aforementioned context.
Whatever, man.
If you're gonna stick, try to enjoy the manga and not let minor details sour the story for you. But I agree this mostly pointless discussion is over.
For something you say you find so minor and pointless, you spent an awful lot of energy on defending some asspull side of it. Anyway, didn't ask, don't flatter yourself. IDGAF whether you agree. You're still a sad little defender of idiocy with a skewed sense of inclusivity. I'm just sick of correcting what you keep getting wrong about my side of the argument. You keep attacking what I never claimed, defending what wasn't even contested, agitating for handouts nobody asked for.
