Please read thoroughly before e-mailing.

Why:

If you haven't heard yet, there was gamedropping in an anime called Prison School, an anime that normally centers around fanservice, hyper-sexual shock comedy, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEXurYaIHao

Here's the original line from the manga:

http://i.imgur.com/C1SjTK4.png

And from the subtitles:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPpiqL4UEAA6GRv.png:large

The lines from the dub definitively deviate a lot from the original work and the script writer outright inserted politics into the dub.

Funimation did answer to the initial outrage, but it was a non-answer. It's clear they are not going to do anything about it and the employees involved only got a slap on the wrist:

http://www.funimation.com/blog/2015/10/02/prison-school-feedback

Here are a few articles and videos about it:

http://nichegamer.com/2015/10/funimation-distances-itself-from-writers-shoehorning-politics-into-english-dub-for-prison-school/

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2015-10-03/funimation-addresses-prison-school-dub-comments-over-gamergate-line/.93736

https://archive.is/mXRAW (/r/anime discussing the Funimation blog post)

http://www.funimation.com/forum/showthread.php?8806-The-GamerGate-quip-in-Episode-7-isn-t-gonna-fly-too-well (Here's an especially good post from the Funimation forum about this http://i.imgur.com/r5HkArt.png )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r9H7im7k4g (Anime Overload - Gamer Gate in Prison School Dub: Thoughts and Discussion by Duderes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWdbQTO0mhg (#GamerGate/Anime: @FUNimation goes #FullSJW by Raging Golden Eagle)

It's clear from the comments from the various articles and videos; the people are not happy.

The crux of the problem isn't quite the gamedropping, it's the fact that the line makes very little sense and the joke is obviously forced (along with the very already dated and stupid "Arthur Fonzarelli" reference). This was not a translation, or a localization, but a complete dialogue change for the purpose of a political potshot from the writer.

- This is exactly what we're against, the injection of politics where it doesn't belong

- Second, not properly taking care of this mess means it'll just happen again

- Third, I'd love to buy DVD/BD without having to check on the Internet who did what and who said what about it

Also, Funimation employees have been attacking concerned fans for over 4 days straight, acting in a shockingly unprofessional manner:

- Tyson Rinehart https://archive.is/SbkI9

- Jamie Marchi ‏ https://archive.is/c79On

- Stephen Hoff (An ADR Engineer that has worked on a lot of Funimation shows), who is not working on Prison School, but has been involved in a lot of their releases , has also been attacking fans over twitter: https://archive.is/LyrGp https://archive.is/ljE8l https://archive.is/iVB2B

Tyson stopped arguing with fans, but he's still retweeting angry concerned fans, there's no reasons to do this other than to publicly shame them and possibly send a mob of fans on them. Once again, this is shockingly unprofessional.

I also recommend people archive tweets here and there and include them with the e-mails. Not a lot of places would accept their employees trolling concerned fans for that long.

In short, the e-mailing goals are:

- Prevent script writers from injecting politics of any kind into their scripts where they don't belong. Also expressing our concern with dub scripts that don't respect the original material.

- Punish the employees involved for their grossly unprofessional behavior.

- Also, ultimately, get Funimation to remove the line

Contact information:

BTW, if you already e-mailed before Funimation addressed (or more like, didn't really address anything at all…) this with the blog PR post, it's worth e-mailing again.

E-mail:

For maximum effect, please e-mail all and use the hashtag

http://www.funimation.com/support (Reason for Contact: Product Concerns)

feedback@funimation.com

Head of PR:

scott.barretto@group1200.com

CEO:

gen.fukunaga@funimation.com

Also use the hashtag #BadDub and add @Funimation on Twitter. Do NOT mix the hashtag with #GamerGate, it will prevent it from trending. I know it's a shitty hashtag, but fucking twitter limits.

Of course, if you have any Funimation products (DVD/BD, Funimation.com subscriptions, etc.), please include it in your e-mails.

I honest love the enthusiasm, but i think its going to the wrong place. who cares if Funimation made a bad joke about us, hell lets be honest, they shoe horned it in for no reason other than to get some tumbler cred. i say let them stew in there own mess.

Allow me to rant

Man, I'm pretty goddang disheartened by this shit, even at KiA the thread is gaining upvotes, but incredibly slowly, it looks like it might go into the front page/new page abyss and stop gaining traction and be forgotten there.

As I said, you don't act, they win, whatever the fuck happened to "First they came …", we have right here a problem that's pretty much uniting the anime fans and pretty much all of them are against what's going, we have finally an event to unite everyone (because that's amazingly hard to do, hence no GG happened because it finally did) because that's one terrible ass dub here and no one seems to care.

I know there's shit ton of people who watches/like anime in GG, where the fuck are you guys right now? Even if not really an anime fan, where the fuck are the guys annoyed at SJW infiltrating everywhere they don't belong and shitting it up? The fuck man? Why are we even there anymore?

And you know what will make a real hot mess if done right? Mass e-mailing Funimation about this, telling them we aren't ok with with their shitty ass non-answer, their shitty ass script (and script writer) and their shitty ass dubs. THAT will make a hot mess, and you bet the other companies will be watching that hot mess.

But as it looks right now the golden opportunity is slipping away because everyone is too much shitting and whining instead of actually doing something about it. Also come on man, don't be that anon and help the anime comrades just as you'd like the anime comrades to be there when this shit happens to vidya. Fuck, a lot of us are both too and I seriously don't want that shit to happen to anime.

Also this isn't vidya, this is anime, where piracy is 1:1 and requires very little effort and smarts, hell, I've been in cancerous noobs communities and even them knows how to pirate, these shitty streaming sites are everywhere man, it's as easy as it can be. This is especially why Funimation's behavior is weird, because for real, they're entirely fucking optional, we don't exactly need them, we don't need their shitty services. All we have to do is makes this into a real hot mess, let the people know what Funimation really thinks of their fans and shit might actually happens. Seriously, have you read the PR blog post? Are they taking us for imbeciles? This is the most fucking non-answer I've ever seen man, no solutions, nothing. Just the usualy PR deflecting blame "Durr we disassociate us from this", like, what? "We didn't officially sanction it, we just recorded it in our studios, approved it for airing, and streamed it on our official site, but we didn't officially sanction it." They're really taking us for the ride here, Funimation clearly does not think much of you if all they had to release is this load of shit.

Fuck, I actually like buying DVD/BDs of shows I like (in a language I can understand and that doesn't cost a fucking arm), I don't want to go shop on google to see who did what now because we didn't care enough to curb this shit before it became cancerous. We might be able to do something… Or nothing might happens, but we'll never know until we fucking try.

So please, do care, we might be able to make this work, also who knows what kind of funny shit is going to come from this

Thank you

>>283235

I have thought it over, and to some extent i think you are right. I might not be into anime as much as i used to, but that doesn't mean others should have there waifu ruined.

Also whats the worst that can happen, another meeting at the UN?


875c7a No.283278

Nah. Waste of time.


55e9cf No.283280

>>283275

Well, no UN meeting, but more stupid Gamedropping in anime and increasingly shittier dubs by people who very clearly don't care about the medium.

BTW, the head writer Jamie Marchi seems to be a big SJW, dropping lines on twitter like this: https://archive.is/c79On She also follows Wu and FemFreq on Twitter.

So yeah…

The big question is, how worse can it get? I mean, you already have these three fucks trolling fans on twitter for 4+ days and right now, they seems to be completely getting away with it, if they get away with it, everything is fair game.

I already heard Anime News Network is already pretty SJW, the big question is what's next? Infiltrating subs? (That is, if they haven't already on some releases)…

It can definitively get worse from here and I don't want to know how worse can it get but instead how better can it possibly get if this becomes big, so get e-mailing, comment, share, whatever, don't let this fall unheard

Got a few good comments there on KiA, there's someone there who unsubbed from the site because of this. Man, did I post it at a bad time or something? I swear my thread asking if this should be an OP a few days ago got like 250 upvotes at least


55e9cf No.283283

As for what now … The big problem is that I can't really post it anywhere else, it's just gonna get deleted

Someone on KiA suggested I post it there because they had a big thread on this and well, I'm most likely gonna get shut pretty quickly. I was planning to message their mods, but if the post doesn't gain any traction, that means no confidence…

Which is the problem, if you want the general anime fans to notice it, it needs to get bigger than that. Hell, if I managed to make it stickied here and on KiA, well, NicheGamer, Sankaku Complex and techraptors all articles about this, if it gets big, that potentially means they could do a follow up article on how the fans are e-mailing, giving it some rather big publicity, thus reaching more anime fans which means more e-mails

But it needs to gain traction in the first place


55e9cf No.283285

*That I post it there

r/anime on Reddit, the thread I'm talking in question

https://archive.is/mXRAW

In fact look at most of the links in the OP, all fans aren't ok with what's going on, and generally (with the exception of ANN, and even there) there's also decent GG support there with people actually being able to write what it is about and what happened

Here's the Sankaku Complex story:

Anyone subscribing to Funi is retarded to begin with. They stream video full of artifacts, washed out color, eye-blasting contrast, and poorly timed/typeset subtitles. I can't even be bothered to pirate that trash. Their dubs are the least of their problems, not to mention dubs are for toonamitard casual scum.

More power to OP for trying to take Funi down a notch, though. Funi is buying up too many licences and deserves to burn.


74a437 No.283307

The crux of the matter is simple; FUNimation employees obviously have a contempt for their fans. And we saw what happened last time people with a contempt for their audience were able to fuck with things…

There should be some obvious professional standards about how a company interacts with its consumers. Having your employees openly mock your audience is s beyond unprofessional I can't think of a good name for it that isn't a flowery insult. These people lack any semblance of professionalism, and they're part of the largest company in this market.

Even if you're a sub snob, it's obvious the implications this can have for the anime market in the US if employees of licensing companies are allowed to treat their audience this way. No self respecting company would allow their employees to keep their jobs after a social media nightmare like this.

This needs to be stamped out now before it's allowed to spread.

FTFY

I hate this idea that GG seems to think their the majority when it comes to a certain opinion, when in many cases, it shows that they are in the minority.

Companies know this now and they ignore GG-aligned "fans", who probably didn't bother to watch their dubs in the first place because they're MPC 1080p CCCP CODEC SUB ONLY MASTER RACE

and they promptly ignore them

Don't try and pretend it's anything else.

Read the links, pretty much everyone in the various links are posted, in also non-GG places are not ok with this at all

Not only that, but they didn't only went after GGers either, they majorly insulted fans, GG or not, and a lot of people Tyson was arguing on Twitter (and retwitting) aren't in GG at all.

I did read it.

The people who criticize it wouldn't buy FUNi's shit dubs anyway, so in essence, they're irrelevant to FUNi because they're not their customers to begin with

it's like a person saying "I'VE LOST RESPECT FOR YOU" or "YOU JUST LOST A SALE" when they had no intention of having respect for that person or buying from them in the first place.

I don't buy it.

Try this in most jobs, you'll be fired pretty damn quickly

I maybe would've dropped this if it was a one time incident, but Tyson has going at it for 4+ days straight. Just go through his wall, he pretty much retweeted the whole goddamn thing. He's still retweeting inflammatory remarks, there's no reasons for this other than public shaming and mobbing fans of them


74a437 No.283359

>>283356

If that's your assessment, no, you didn't read anything.

Look at the responses to FUNi's statement. Lots of cancelled subscriptions. People on twitter sharing photos of FUNimation releases they've bought along with saying FUNi will be losing a customer over their handling of this.

Sub-obsessed /a/tards do not reflect the bulk of people who are pissed about this.

you've never had a job in a creative field, have you?

It's informal as fuck, and it doesn't fucking matter if your tone is bad or if something you say pisses someone who doesn't matter off

if you're good at your job, and you don't cost the company money, you stay on.

And FUNi's judged that the guy is good enough to stay on. It hasn't affected its sales and it won't, because GG people (and others criticizing FUNi) don't buy from FUNi anyway, which is why he's staying on in the first place

holy fuck you guys are retarded.

I'm saying this again.

I don't buy it.

saying I CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION

or showing stuff their mom bought for them and saying they're LOSING A CUSTOMER is grandstanding. They aren't losing shit or the guy would be fired by now

I do, actually. This, however, is not a creative field in the sense of, say, a comic book artist or game developer. Fucking actors can get booted from their jobs for what they say on social media.

I did buy from them in the past, actually. Glad that you somehow magically know the truth behind all these people, though. How you're not making millions with a power like that I'll never understand.

Also, hence why it needs to get going and get popular, the big problem is, as it stand right now, I cannot post the operation anywhere, not in /a/, not in r/anime and such without it getting deleted ASAP, if this takes off, people will hear of this and discussion will be had about this in these places and hopefully, the places who talked about it, will also talk about it, hence informing the other legion of pissed off anime fans

Either way, it's time to go to bed, I contacted a few people on Twitter, but I seriously doubt anyone is gonna tweet about it at all.

If anyone can please share https://www.red*dit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3nmkcv/misc_op_baddub_email_funimation_about_the_prison/

Again, if that's true, and you won't buy from them after this (which, let's face it, no one will commit to), then it stands to reason that they're aren't enough of you to warrant the guy's firing, or any other person's firing. Simple as that.

Do you know why they don't watch dubs? Because the dubs that Funimation … specially Funimation, makes sucks dicks

Plus anyways, there's a shitloads of stuff to get back at Funimation. Their streaming player is awful, the audio is bad, the colors are bad. Fuck, even pirating the thought of pirating their shit is abhorrent.

Honestly, I've NEVER seen you say anything that wasn't toal devil's advocacy here. Yes, you like cameralady, but that's the only thing over several fucking months.

Your head is in your ass over this one. "Sankaku Complex, GG is not the customer base." It's a fucking ecchi show by Arms. Are you so insane that you think SJW shit goes over well with fans of titty anime?

Also you're argument blows. Funi will or will not make it's money back on the phyiscal release. It's not 1999 anymore. The subs and the dub are on the same fucking disc. This could fuck up their profit margin for sure.

ALSO, it's a simul-cast dub. THEY CHANGE THOSE DUBS ALL THE TIME BEFORE THEY GET ON THE DISC. Not doing anything now would be pure idiocy. You are advocating for self-defitism.

guess we'll have to see once the BD comes out, right?

And besides, changing the dub (as some shows are wont to do) before the BD release will probably placate most people and they won't lose money.

I'm just not buying that they'll lose money on this one. And neither is FUNi.

Another thing about you expecting them to announce firing this guy. These people are probably third party contractors. Third party contractors don't get "fired," they just don't receive more work after the current contract i sup. From what I've heard, Funi has done this before with people with bad reputations with fans. So even if they don't announce him getting axed, that doesn't mean it won't be the same result.

Sankaku Complex taking a shit on them over it I think helps my argument. Like was mentioned in KIA, they already reference Sankaku Complex in trailers for fanservice anime because they know they're drawing from that audience.

Were you paying attention at all, nigger? The ENTIRE DUB is like this, even in that very same line, there's a second Family Guy-tier popculture reference.

If pissing off GamerGate is the spark that lights a fire under western otakudom's feet, if that turns out to be what it takes to get dub translations back on the rails, I can't imagine why any dub viewer would disagree with us.

Hey guys i just thought of something would this Funmi thing encourage others who have an axe to grind with just about anything not inclusive of gg to shoehorn it into the dubs.

I myself don't watch dubs or any anime at all lately,but with this got me thinking of how fertile ground dubs can be for spreading info to a large audience maybe some Trump supporter could shoehorn "Trump is the Hero America Needs" in a dub

Anyway…

Goddammit Funimation, is it that hard to just translate things without adding unnecessary "flavor" for your localizations. Dubs in languages other than English try to sound as close to the original Moonspeak as possible; only NA localizers a lot of the same people do localizations for anime, manga, and vidjya; so there's your: "Is this GG?"-angle pull this primadonna off-script bullshit.

English dubs are a shit because: I want translations; not re-interpretations!

Ehhh, it pretty much failed. This place is also much smaller than I remembered.

So yeah, if you want to try again, be my guest. Perhaps it will be more popular with different wording or something. I wrote pretty much the whole plan in the linked KiA thread.

If someone already has the tools for video editing, this could be a good idea to make and upload:

chairman's voice: https://youtu.be/4VQol9aEBtI?t=135 same scene in Japanese (https://youtu.be/X2t7nxJVulY?t=129

https://youtu.be/4VQol9aEBtI?t=623 listen to andre's voice in English, in Japanese https://youtu.be/X2t7nxJVulY?t=619

And there's so much more wrong with the dub, seriously it's really bad. If someone could make a really good comparison video and retry to make a more convincing operation on KiA, this might very well catch on. Hell, the video itself could be pretty good for anime fans in general to share, just include the e-mails in description

I completely disagree here, as I said earlier, even the biggest of noobs, the people who actually care about anime outside of maybe randomly picking one up on Netflix once in a blue moon, actually know where to pirate them and most definitively does not care about dubs (mostly because they're shit)

No man, the actual majority are filthy pirates like me watching fansubbed torrented chinese cartoons.

It's impossible to come up with actual usable numbers of illegal torrents vs legal streams/disc-sales/tv-ratings, much less, get a sub vs dub ratio, but the thing is, even as a pirate I DO buy the discs to support the license, I just don't watch them. I have a huge stack of un-opened un-watched chinese porno cartoons, because pirating is so piss-easy, it's easier to torrent that is is to walk across the room to grab a disc, as well as, I hate DVD/BL menus and ofttimes the licensed version translation are a shit (thus this thread), so the pirate fansubs are superior to what the NA distributes shit out.
