I don't mind Anglicized names but when they keep their last names and only change their first names it's like, why?

:qlol: In Korea the two gay baddies were brothers and all the love they shared were just normal brotherly love. They just really like each other. As brothers. Nothing more. When one of them died at the end his last request was to give their mother flowers.

I find changing the names of characters extremely rude and insulting to the people who created it and to the people consuming it. Maybe even racist too if one thinks about it.

Names have meanings to them. And those meaning are derived from that person's culture. When stripped of that culture and name meanings .. it's like saying 'your culture is stupid and doesn't matter, your in america now, use american names"

Thats no different than someone saying, "your in america, speak english!" to someone who hasn't learned the language, or speaks it in a very thick accent.

It's worse when you know that america did this to actual people immigrating to america. "Your name is too hard to pronounce and spell so your bob from now on" They were stripped of their cultural identities to make things easier for the authorities. =3=


It's also pretty much calling the people of america 'too stupid to learn to pronounce something" =3=


It's also worse when you hear that the Japanese actually were led to believe for the longest time that if the characters names weren't changed to easier sounding names. And if the places in the series weren't changed to some place in america or canada, the show wouldn't be received well here in the states.

The internet expanded, fan sub fans raged at the localizations and eventually it stopped.. well some content still gets localized.. from time to time. I think Pokemon still goes through name changes.

Time passes me
Like a man on the street
I can't help but notice a change
It's in the colors
Of these autumn leaves
But deep down my roots are the same

Yeah a bunch of Korean webtoons have changed names in their official English versions, and it's a SHAME! For all the reasons you mentioned.

That's harder, to my mind. That's an ongoing, you have to live with it forever thing, instead of one single moment that's the exception instead of the rule.

Yeah, I don't like the changing stuff xD
Even if they say it's because people will understand it better.
No, you keep it original and teach people new stuff :\

As someone who writes stories and makes OCs a lot - if I were able to ever publish a manga/anime I would be furious if they changed my shit.
That's not MY work >Bu
