While we are desperate for translations, this is awful. This is obviously MTL (since it falls into the same traps and mistakes as Google translate), and it is a bad one at that; there are zero changes to make it sound more human.

Yeah, you can definitely notice a few issues.

  • Kaede called Chiaki “Mr. Yasumi” even though they’re twins (I’m sure it’s just “Yasumi-San”, but there are times when you can drop the honorific if the result makes them act like strangers)
  • “They’re floating!” not sure if this should be something like “They’re poking out!“

It’s servicable, sure, but if you had to pay for this sort of translation people would be up in arms about it

Changing "Mr. Yasumi" to "Yasumi-san" would've made this MTL at least 20% better imo.

That said, is it technically still incest considering both of them had their DNA fiddled with via the mad scientist older sister? I'm not making an argument for or against it as an act. Just wondering if it would technically fall into the same category genetically. Not morally.

Somehow worse than regular incest. You're putting all that work just to end up in a pseudo "step-sister" Territory.

They just went from a brother/sister pair of twins to a sister/sister* pair of twins.

There is no indication the older sister made them unrelated genetically.

Dang, Was happy this finally got a new chapter tl’d but seems it isn’t great

Edit: Well it’s not the worst MTL I’ve seen, though the way Kaede refers to Chiaki is very distant sounding

Great, obvious MTL complete with finger-wagging about morals like we're children.

Get this shit off of MD. You can soapbox about what fictional characters do when you stop trying to use machines to replace the knowledge and effort of real humans.

Again, I'm not defending it or saying it's great. The whole incest angle is the whole reason I even dropped The Irregular at Magic High School. This was more a generalized question out of curiosity.

What is with zoomers not being able to tell the difference between fiction and reality? Have you been brining in the internet and a post-truth world so much that you can't enjoy fictional characters being wildly disturbing? God help you if you ever read what the Greeks were writing about.

As an aside, this is by the Oreimo/Eromanga-sensei author. If the sibling incest theme surprises you then take this as a life lesson to pay attention to who is creating stuff instead of just passively suckling at whatever corporations give you.

Incest is taboo in all cultures for a reason. Stop trying to normalize it.
Read Greek mythology and stop embarrassing yourself. Or literally any history vis-a-vis European nobles. Even if incest isn't a good thing, don't pretend history isn't chock full of it.

Taboos don't apply to fictional characters anyway. That's what makes them interesting stories, the exploration of the taboo. If you can't handle interesting stories, go back to the kiddie pool quietly instead of demanding the grown-ups all sit in ankle-high water with you.
