I could be wrong but I guess he was talking about others tl who insert some social ideology where there is not. You can find some exemple of one women doing it for some official English tl of some animes that I forgot the name about how women are showed by our society.
It's not about "controversy", it's about clarity. I wanted it to be known that the line isn't mine. That's the start and end of it. I will avoid adding to this post and stirring up actual controversy.
If it's not about controversy in any way whatsoever (whether the subject is controversial in itself, or adding the line is), then there's no point in clarifying that the line is in the original, since it's just another line out many. I mean, you don't add that disclaimer for all of the other lines you translate in the manga.
Because nobody would think that I fabricated an entire line about soumen noodles. But I myself would assume I made up the line talking about political things.
But my point was that it wasn't really political. It didn't point towards any agenda.
Yeah. Because It was part of the original dialogue.
Ha! I enjoy arguing with people on the internet. The important thing is nobody thinks I added in a political message.
It answers my question, that it's a reaction against the reaction. I don't blame you for being wary of culture war BS, because culture wars are the Jerry Springer Show of politics.
