2024

2024
The year wokeness won

The entire game is just a fantasy and even the end says 'Fantasy Endures'.

Plus the 'perfect utopia' in the book everyone reads in the game ended up being destroyed by the 'tolerant' people in it.

How is that woke?

Japanese games can't be "woke" because 99.9% of the country is homogenous.

learn English, ESL fucktard
that is proper English and not tranny made up play time
holy fuck

Don't you have a Dragon Age thread to shitpost in right now? Anon Babble already moved on from Metaphor.

that is correct grammar you high school drop out

ah yes, Catherina, the character that's basically furry Yuffie that ends up falling for the MC. Very woke, sure, sure.

This board has mostly been grifter ragebait for a few years now

Help me bros, beat this game a few days ago and I still haven't been able to move on and play something else. Been thinking about it and listening to the OST.

We want accurate translations!

Okay we'll remove all the gendered pronouns and use they/them to match Japanese

No that's woke!

u sure showed him lol

It's a fals-flag, anon.
Their raid has been doing this for a couple months now.

Proper English would he. But it's not like 99.9% of native speakers know that anyway.

Proper English would he.

Did you beat the ng+ super boss already? That's what I plan to do, after finishing romancing saga 2.

Yes I missed a word. You've already hit the wall so stop laughing.

romancing saga 2.

how is that game if i like jrpgs? do i have to play as a guy?

The fairy lady is saying she doesn't know if that's a man or a woman's name holy fuck you guys are obsessed

the ng+ super boss already

didn't even know that was a thing

ou've already hit the wall so stop laughing

ESL bros.... he doesn't know what 'hit the wall' means
LOL

Between how they already look and the age of that reaction image, they've hit the wall. Jokes vs autism.

This game looks ok, but I’m waiting for a sale on PS4. $70 is too high for this. Especially since they didn’t print it physically outside of the system only two people own.

ESL jokes pretend I am the person in the image

they is literally tranny pronouns

NTA
Why do English speakers pretend to be severely autistic every time they see an implicit subject/verb/whatever?
t. Native Spanish speaker

it's so sick that you lads are so triggered by twitter libs that you now can no longer see a basic sentence using they without shitting your pants

cry harder tranny, nobody uses they in a sentence, only leftists. It's He or She.

No, it "literally" isn't in this context.

nobody uses they in a sentence

good job admitting that the only human interaction you get is on here lmao

Proper English is a luxury here. Most people here are on a 5th grade literacy level

have you heard anything about the new kid in school? I just know their name is Alex. I wonder what they are like

cries about pronouns

how is that game if i like jrpgs?

As far as story goes, there's no big overarching plot. You are an empire anexing lands by helping people and exterminating demons/monsters. The main plotline is about the antagonists(their backstory and what eventually became of them). It has a lot of party customization and the quest-line is not linear at all. The game expects you to make big decisions. The only downside is that you play as generics, if you care about that.

do i have to play as a guy?

Obligatory only in the demo. You eventually have enough options to make a full girl party and what not. Mind you, some quests want your emperor to be a certain gender or class to progress.
You have to read the red book in akademia.

OP is getting THEIR shit pushed in lmao

It's a fucking contraction.

The name seems feminine.

The character is referring to a name of an unknown person in this instance, so they do not know whether or not the person is male or female.

I wonder what they're like?

"They" is being used because they do not have the information to use a gendered pronoun, as the person's gender is clearly being framed as ambiguous.

This obsession with they often outs high school dropouts and ESLs for this reason. They is a very general term in English and can be used for anything not explicitly gendered, ranging from an unknown person to a group of people.

thats good grammar retard

Pronouns, how do they work.

If a dude left an object on a table, and someone approaches me and says, "who left this object on the table?"

Even though I know a dude left the object, it is still proper English for me to say "Oh, they (the dude) did." It's not woke, it's English. I can also use "They" if I don't know the person's gender, can't remember their name, or I'm referring to a group of people, or I just want to. All correct uses of the word. Yes I can even mix pronouns, referring to someone in the same sentence as a gendered pronoun and a non-gendered one, and it doesn't even sound that odd to do so. For example - "Where is Samantha? They said they would be arriving soon, has she shown up yet?" Still proper English, still works, no this isn't some woke thing or even new. Take your woke derangement syndrome somewhere else.

and use they/them to match Japanese

there is no they/them in japanese you ignorant faggot. They either refer directly by name or use he/she

And if you don't know the name or gender of the person you're referring to? What then?

you use "that person"

Proper English used to use he as gender neutral pronoun in writing

"that person" serves basically the exact same purpose as saying "they/them" in the English language. It would be correct to sub them in this case since the use is almost identical, but just using "they" sounds less choppy then "that person".

nta
Japanese use 彼 ("he" in modern Japanese)) when it's unknown.
Japanese before westernization has no gendered pronoun btw
That's why they just add 女 after 彼(that) to indicate it's she.
Chinese and Japanese were calling third person it/that. (其, 彼)

that was 2023

proper english will die in your lifetime
esl reigns supreme

they/them

lmao tranny caught in the act of pushing their woke pronouns.

This is why Asian women flock to White men

Used to

So it doesn't anymore?

This is literal ESL speak.
This is the sole reason why you see "that person" so much in less professional translations of Japanese stuff like battle anime or mystery novels, where surprise reveals are constant. "That person" is something English does not need because it is a language of convenience for the speaker, and so actual English speakers often use "they" instead.

Same for Korean pretty much. Korean "she" is mostly a pragmatic solution for translations. And they still don't really use 3rd-person plurals nowadays in native Korean material. They usually use the name instead.

These words are interchangeable, hence the /, welcome to the English language anon.

so is this woke or based?? I can't even tell anymore

they're only talking about chads.

Yep. Thanks to you guys manufactured the problem.
I hope English has gender neutral pronoun to fix it once and for all.

No and when I hear it used it is an ESL signal

remove all the gendered pronouns and use they/them to match Japanese!!!!

no japanese doesn't have they/them

d-d-d-doesn't matter!!!!!! it serves the same prupose!!!!!

lol?

We have a gender neutral pronoun, it's they and them, both are gender neutral.

Japanese doesn't have they/them, but they use similarly ambiguous terms that would be translated as they or them.
"That person" is ESL speak 99% of the time. The only instance where it's really apt are ones where it's characters speaking of another person who isn't in the room but they can't reveal/don't know the identity of (pic related, ano kata just means "that person").

file.png - 627x655, 97.1K

that would be translated as

aka not "matching" the original japanese but localizing the shit.
you're literally killing your own argument there

What I mean is, restrict everyone to use gender neutral pronoun only in English.
As Chinese I won't have an issue since my whole life refer people with pronoun that has no gender indication.

Wokeness means awerness, not skin color. Educate yourself.

not "matching" the original Japanese

It literally is. There is functionally no difference between "they" and "that person" (ano kata) the vast majority of the time, and only lazy translators use that person, which is not something commonly used in English. It is literal ESL speak.

This would be like complaining that One Piece translations should have Luffy saying "my friend" instead of "my crew" when the context, in the contextual language, is dictating that it is the latter usage, rather than the literal usage of the former.

I have never heard a native English speaker say "that person", it sounds strange. Most English speakers would use they or them, which serve the same function and are shorter. You could use "that person" and it would be understandable, but that's not how native English speakers talk.

Remove all the gendered pronouns

I did not say to do this, I'm arguing that the sentence should sound like how a native English person would speak, which it does.

d-d-d-doesn't matter!!!!!! it serves the same prupose!!!!!

Based on your explanation it does serve the same purpose.

most people will write this game off as anime and therefore gay and not play anyways. Why do you think it matters?

I'm so glad I'm not as retarded as OP.

I don't want it to match, I want it translated to English in a way that sounds natural. Which it does. This is a none issue, and I don't understand why you care so much.

metaphor is not woke you disgusting mutilated tranny freak OP

grifter

go back to your shithole, tranny

The game is propaganda designed to try to convince japanese people to let niggers and poos in.

There is functionally no difference

but they are not the same. You are saying they have to be as the original japanese. the original japanese does not have they/them

I have never heard a native English speaker say "that person"

thank god the argument is about the original japanese huh

I don't want it to match

yes you do >inb4 t-t-that was not me!!!!!
then don't jump into arguments you have nothing to do with

Yes it is. It's communist DEI pro immigration dogshit.

Ken-sama rejects such notions

but they are not the same.

They are.
Leave it to a guy who barely knows English and doesn't know Japanese to lecture people on the proper way both are spoken.

Actually you do want it to match the translation exactly.

links to a post made by a different person.

You know it's possible for more than one person to disagree with you right?

but i like that game so it can't be woke

Japanese doesn't have "Honey, I'm home!" or "Rub-a-dub thanks for the grub" either. While we're at it, Japanese doesn't have "computer" and "mobile phone" as well. You don't understand translation. You don't understand loc. You don't even understand how languages function. Educate yourself by reading some Donald Davidson or Tarski.

GOTTEM UOL

Leave it to a guy who

why are you projecting so hard anon?

t-that was not me!!!

then don't jump into arguments you have nothing to do with
which means all of that is not going back to the original japanese. You sure you even know what this argument was about?

Educate yourself by

now you're just shitposting

you didn't play it you dumb cunt. you literally either fell for false flagging trannies or are a false flagging tranny yourself.

I also showed your mother last night.

I'm right and you have no argument, fatlus troon.

You don't have an argument though. "Doesn't go back to the original Japanese" to you means that translation is utterly impossible yet here you are still spewing the toxic garbage your brain conjures, which means you still believe in meaning somehow. Do you not understand how meaning works, how it arises? How do you think Japanese people learn English if all the words they see "don't go back to the original Japanese"? You're complaining about this that's been figured out on paper over 60 years ago and has never actually been an issue throughout the entirety of human history. There were literal arabs writing down Greek philosophy. I don't think they complained about Greek words not going back to original Arabic, so what's your issue? Is it your special ed background?

you still have a festering wound between your legs

projecting

You have already proven your grasp on the English language is barely existent. Even in your post, grammar seems to be a foreign concept to you.

use he/she

Japanese doesn't use gendered pronouns, you fucking dekinai retard

If you care about title/pronoun, you should let Chinese/Japanese to takeover.
We have more first person gendered title/pronoun than English (I guess you have "I/me" only?. Instead of forcing people to properly gender us, we properly gender ourselves.

Don't jump into arguments you have nothing to do with.

You absolute buffoon, we HAVE been arguing from the start of this thread, you just linked to the wrong post and claimed it was me. I didn't jump into this argument, more than one person is telling you that you're wrong.

And I'm NTA for this but -

which means all of that is not going back to the original japanese. You sure you even know what this argument was about?

Here's what I'm not understanding, you've failed to make a case as to WHY this matters. The initial sentence is translated in a way that makes sense for ENGLISH speakers, who gives a shit if it's not a 1-to-1 translation from the Japanese when it's translated correctly for English?

You can't just say "This doesn't go back to the original Japanese" and then when people tell you that doesn't matter say, "Oh well, my argument is that it doesn't go back to the original Japanese, I can't be wrong, so you must be." That isn't how arguments work, you just can't admit fault.

i actually played the game, you didn't, therefor I am right by default, niggermonkey

Give us an example.

Anon Babble and twitter schizos still trying to push the debunked narrative that Metaphor is woke

meanwhile radical communist online leftists are reaching the end of the game and seething that actually the game is "centrist", "too cowardly to hold real political views", and "Louis did nothing wrong, Atlus is just using him as a extreme Strawman"

umm actually this woke game that I like isn't woke because reasons

my favorite new type of copium this board has spawned

私 gender neutral
僕、俺 man, can be used by women nowadays
儂 old man
あたい mature woman
あたし young woman
うち kaisai woman
おら young boy

Old era
我、吾 gender neutral
余 noble man
妾 woman in noble family
某 bushi

Written
小生 man to act polite to who he speaks to

"They" is an acceptable pronoun for referring to an individual, stupid ESLnigger.

If you guys ever go and watch old looney tunes stuff you'll notice they make a lot of references to celebrities and old performers that now you would never even hear about unless you specifically did research into it, this is how all of this is going to look in the future, nothing will make sense from this era.

that's a lot of words to say you don't know what the argument was about

still projecting

adds some ad hominem on top

learn new tricks
you when you don't know the name of the person, otherwise you just refer to people by name

who gives a shit if it's not a 1-to-1 translation from the Japanese when it's translated correctly for English?

you

You know that screenshot of the bitch saying to sharpen the guillotines and kill all the rich people? Her story arc resolves with her realizing and saying "You can't just take money away from rich people. It's theirs, and stealing is wrong. Poor people should get a fucking job and stop complaining"

i swear the only people i've seen pissed off at the game's stances are extremists, from anarkiddies to tankies to fascists

You really don't know what the fuck you're talking about. In most cases, referring to people by name in Japan is asking for trouble. If you're very polite, you wouldn't refer to someone as kare/kanojo if they're your superior/teacher/whatever even if you knew their name and had personally verified whether they have a set of balls or not. There are countless words and ways in Japanese to address someone without knowing who they really are that explicitly avoids mentioning their gender, especially if you're being polite (which you're supposed to do, and that is exactly the attitude that scripts for JP games are usually written).

There is still some disagreement about the correctness of the gender-neutral singular ‘they’, but it is now endorsed by most style guides.

I mean, true. You can change English and blame ESLs who learned English 10 years ago not knowing your new rules.

ESL here. I don't see a problem with this and I am probably not the only one who thinks this, but...isn't the whole point of this scene that Gallica doesn't know if the person is female or male.
Seems feminine means that it sounds like a female name, not that it is a female name. Here in the balkans we have a male singer whose nickname is Tifa, and when you hear Tifa you probably think about big boobz girl from FF7

ummmm ackshully thing is adjective because le reasons

saying they when you dont know the sex of a person is woke now

"They're" is a conjunction of the words "They"and "are" you delusional fucking illterate faggot retard nigger!

referring to people by name in Japan is asking for trouble

lmao and you're calling me ignorant

Boomers will complain about singular "they" not being proper English, but then casually use it all the time without thinking about it when complaining that some unknown person cut them off in traffic or something.

Yeah, you can entirely avoid using pronoun by referring someone by family name + san
While being perceived as childish, you can also refer yourself by saying your own name.
(However, in formal situation you should always use 私)

I swear every single Metaphor thread is made by an ESL.

I mean the game is made by ESL and the target audience is ESL. What do you expect?

They is a very general term in English and can be used for anything not explicitly gendered, ranging from an unknown person to a group of people.

Wrong, they is a plural pronoun hence why you would say "they are" instead of "they is"

I wouldn't expect a braindead monkey like you to understand this, thoughever.

No and when I hear it used it is an ESL signal

Looks like all legal documents were made by ESLs. Kill yourself tranny shill.

Context changes what connecting words you use constantly in English retard.
"They are" has also been used in a singular, generic fashion for decades.

fucking smooth brained protonigger lmao

"They are" has also been used in a singular, generic fashion for decades

by low IQ mongrels such as you. Public education was a mistake. Midwits should be drowned at birth.

three short sentences in a row when an English speaker could connect all of them into one flowing sentence easily

IESLB

actual seethe. Have fun dilating to your troonslop.

The localization is fine.
It's the music that's awful.

actual seethe

No capitalization. Two short sentences that require minimal effort to connect and show the natural flow the statement should have.
Additionally, your posts show a very basic grasp on English, no real expertise in the language. You have eight (8) words in this post, and they are:

1 verb

1 preposition

3 adjectives

3 common Anon Babble words

You statement is almost half words you would learn here.

They don't want balding white beta males like you

Woke are so retarded, using they/them which are for plural is so fucking confusing, they should use it instead but they dont want to acknowledged they are subhumans at the level of animals

Never heard of a man named Sue?

they do, actually. it doesn't cross-translate through cultural barriers and theyre just some white guy with a job

The only time ive seen people using they them to a person were the woketards

693388729

that is correct grammar you high school drop out

^ That.
Gender neutral pronouns are perfectly valid when you don't know whether the person that is being talked about is a man or a woman.

Singular they is one of the greatest tragedies and needs to die right fucking now. I'm so fucking tired of everyone being addressed with "they/them" despite the gender being known. Even these fucking influencers who larp as based boys virtuously refuse to address trannies with their real gender

anyone who disagrees with my ideology is baiting!!!!

kys sweetheart

referencing an article written by some literal who spic talking about how much of a trad christian he is

This is pathetic.

I don't give a shit who the author is, I can still agree with him on topics

You statement

Haha, you made a typo you fucking retard. Get bent ;)

Him being a spic automatically means his commentary on the English language is beyond worthless.

Besides all the melodramatic shit, i despise that word because it is counter-intuitive, you litterally need to wrack your brain to make it think they refers to gender neutral, which is what trannies tries to do in general

t. faggot who uses singular they

hwnbaw

first raid?

In casual conversation obviously. I work with Europeans and they constantly refer to companies as "he" when it should be they, etc

uuuuuh the fact checkers say otherwise sweetie

Their is karera and kanojotachi but they are gendered, you ignorant n5 nigger.

僕 is young boy
おら is a more crude variant of おれ, this is for a real man, a manly man, like a hardcore yakuza or construction worker type.

that is normal english ESL retard

if it's japan then woke is allowed. If it's not screaming woke even on the game box art it doesn't matter, if the mc is white then it doesn't matter if it's woke. Gamers are ultra dumb breed of goyims. Not one of you even noticed marxist undertones in RDR1/2 games and ofc you won't care about them in JRPGS.

G-gomenasai....he made it....Ken-Sama....

It's hilarious that weebs think Japs haven't always been Godless faggot pedophiles.

Muh last bastion!

Wrong. She's wonderful if it's a male or female, so she uses "them" in her confused status.

Godless? If anything there are too many Gods and Goddesses. They think every object has spirit lmao. They have shrines for 34219489129841982 Gods they have out there it's retarded.

They worship demons. There is one God who came down to Earth as man and conquered death, giving us the path to eternal life. Their demons did no such thing and will be destroyed body and soul on the day of judgement along with their followers.

What does lolis have to do with woke stuff?

Woke is merely code for anti-Christian. Pedophilia is woke.

There is one God who came down to Earth as man and conquered death, giving us the path to eternal life

Bible has many Gods so you don't even know your shitty book. If you translate your text from Hebrew it talks about Elohim aka many Gods not El, So your God in reality is a group of Gods/Powerful Beings. Jahweh was a fire breathing dragon that loved gold, eating offerings from animals and also young virgin females (they were delicious). Jesus was a shape shifting lizard and a demon like his daddy. So about which God are you talking about? There was a huge group of Gods above those two.

You're retarded. Fuck Christians, you're as woke as troons.

Convincing a zoomer that "they" is wrong is like trying to convince a slave that his master does not have his best interest in mind. They are buckbroken and cannot understand it.

Pic related, up to the 80s it was standard practice, and it STILL IS in legal documents, to avoid grammatical ambiguity, because it's an important subject where clear communication is essential.

More importantly, all of you effeminate faggots seem to miss another glaring problem with the text, which is even more deeply ingrained into the minds of Angloids: Uptalk.

I wonder what they're like?

Wrong.

I wonder what they're like.

Correct (ignoring the tranny they).
By saying "I wonder", you already imbue the sentence with a sense of uncertainty. But adding a question mark, you sound like you're confused by the fact that you wonder something, it's not a proper, grammatical question.

Now, if you try and tell this to a modern native speaker, he's been... sorry, "THEY" have been raised by a nation of lunatics who do not understand neutral he anymore, and think making grammatically ambiguous sentences is a better deal than misgendering someone unknown, because that would be a big no-no for us, independent and strong black wheelchair gamer women.

Using neutral he is your civic duty. Learning to refrain from uptalking is one step further. Aim for greatness.

It isn't proper English you broccoli haired fucker. Nobody used singular "they" before 2014. Fuck off with the history revisionism. Check some ancient forums or read some old books if you don't believe me. Fucking poo in the loo ESLs know your shitty language better than you, have you no shame?
The only correct post in this shitheap of a thread.

it's truly ogre for Japan isn't?

You don't speak Japanese. Shut up. I can tell you used Google translate.
Gendered :
彼/ら (can be used for mixed groups)
彼女たち (only true gendered one)

Genderless:
あの方 (that "entity/person")
あの人 (that person)
彼奴ら (THEY)
そちらの(方) (polite "that entity/person")
奴ら( Casual THEY)
あの子 (that boy/girl)

I can call you a retard without knowing if you're a faggot, tranny, or whore. Like this:
日本語できないくせに何様上に他の人に説明するわけなの? この自閉症の薄鈍奴。

his willingness to fully assimilate probably went a long way.

Nobody used singular "they" before 2014

Can confirm. English isn't my first language, but I remember encountering singular they/them for the first time playing a Choice Of text adventure as if it was yesterday. It was confusing as fuck and I had no clue why the author kept addressing characters with they/them. Soon after I began realizing interactive fiction attracts trannies like shit attracts flies. Now everyone uses it and it nearly causes me to explode whenever I have to hear/read it

Anon Babble - language learning for k-12

English isn't my first language

Then your entire post is irrelevant, even ignoring how your constant broken English denotes that you have no real grasp on the language.

You don't know your own religion

In the Bible Yehova יהוה is the name of one of many other Canaanite Gods in the Pantheon of Mesopotamia.

He was a mix of other gods, namely El, Baal and Asherah, basically among him God of War and storms.

In other Pantheon equivalent he would be Thor or Ares+Zeus.

Surprise, a Canaanite tribe celebrating a god of war turned out to be really good and conquering and killing all the other tribes and assimilating them into Israelites.


彼女
こいつ/あいつ

Should tell you something when a foreign writelett has more clue about your own language than yourself.
When was the last time you glanced into a mirror?

2024 is the year woke dies. This is the edge of the Hunter S Thompson wave. Hunter was a retarded faggot writer, but even a glowie asset pens a useful metaphor once in a blue moon. This year was woke's high water mark and it will quietly recede after this. In 5 more years trannies will be a forgotten meme and the dems will be comfortably back in power after trump's inevitable second term expires.

You don't.
Your posts are littered with constant basic errors and show absolutely no understanding of English.
Take your shitstained hands off the keyboard and study for another decade before believing yourself to be smarter than you really are.

putting effort into Anon Babble posts

This is exactly the type of quality you deserve, everything else would be pearls before swine. On that note, ywnbaw

Kek, you talk like a girl. But based.

Which part was girly to you?

wait until you guys realize "they (singular)" has been used this way for centuries

Beat the entire game before you @me, pleb.

That is the epilogue, you retard.
