Except it's not about **** at all. No one was laughing about ****.
Divorced from the context it is, but there's a reason why one of the top comments on your youtube video and the top comment on your reddit thread refer to it. Look bro I know that wasn't where you're trying to go, but I very few people who haven't seen the series (or is at least familar with it) will draw any other conclusion, so my suggestion would be retooling the lines so it doesn't have that disturbing connotation to those of of us who haven't seen it? Especially the "call the police line", that's just gravy.
"No thanks", only really becomes an issue in context. "Gotta go" is fine, "get off of me" is yeesh, but the one that really got me was "I better call the police right away".
Well again it's that she sounds a particular type of scared and what you gotta realize is a fair number of people have a very viserial reaction to this kind of thing hence why I was doing my best to be civil but I disliked the ganging up on mod for apparently being the only one unfamilar with the source material besides me.
Mogwai didn't need the help. He killed the civility on his own.
Except at mafia :D
Ehhhh mog had a very visceral and understandable reaction, you're being too hard on him just like he was being too hard on you.
He didn't say it was about ****, he all but said it implied it. There's a difference, he wasn't looking at intention he was looking at result and I think you're being profoundly unfair to him considering what a sensative topic it is.
This is because a majority of voice acting in American anime dubs are awful. Westerners can't into 12 year olds conveying emotions without sounding ******** / stupendously awkward (obviously this isn't a 100% rule). It doesn't hurt that in Japan they get people of the right age groups to voice characters (as in, teenagers voicing teenagers). Unheard of elsewhere.
I'm not.
Difference between intent and how it appears to the observer RR, he made no presumption of judging intent, he analyzed based on the information that he was given, what it evooked to him. Given that I came up with the same conclusion and both the reddit thread and the youtube video feature high rated comments that have the same impression (first and second highest rated when last I looked) it is an entirely reasonable analysis of the impression it gives and given that I'm reasonably well versed in anime it seems unreasonable to expect your average person to be familar with the context.
Yeah but Mog off the bat dropped ****.
Him being upset is not the issue. The issue is when someone throws fits and calls people effed up when they don't agree with you.
It probably will make it sound rather messy in all honesty. Not gonna lie, it was a rush job. Going into audacity or your audio editor of choice and cutting out the extra bits should be fairly easy though.
And nobody ever said you did, mog only stated what it sounds like without knowledge of the source material. He didn't attribute making fun of **** to you, but he did generally accuse the thread of being insensative to how this comes across which is certainly not unfair given previous discussions of gender issues in this thread.
I'm not saying you are, but because you are apparently really familar with the source material you're not even considering how it looks to people who aren't familar with it.
Ow, my youtube history. Time to fill it with something better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrn2K4eFl5g
