Oh shit I just made a post about this and now saw this here lol. Honestly his response is not even that bad, just work with some translation team dude. I know people that cannot experience these games without localization, it fucking sucks, fortunately we have fan translations but still. What really pisses me off is the Undertale fandom on R*ddit being a bunch of bootlickers.

Just a reminder that the Undertale subreddit is a bunch of fashy liberal Zionist treatlerites.

If hexbears are taking cues from these types of people, that paints a very worrying but consistent image.

Thanks for pointing this out. I locked your thread and redirected conversation over here, so we aren't overlapping points or talking past each other.

There are a few bootlickers here too sadly

Considering the amount of people who still bootlick Neil Druckmann even after he was called out for his Zionism just because he was able to do some incredible rainbow-washing in TLOU, I won't be surprised if people also start showing their asses and get incredibly reactionary towards Latam due to their loyalty to Toby Fox

The only way for Latam to win is to pirate the game, use the fan translation, and stop giving him capital by buying the merch

Since he didn't invest in the region, he has no right to their money

Besides, even if he paid for a translation, the exchange is still unequal, Toby gets all the money at the end of the day, while the translators only get a small fraction once

that's one way to structure the deal, but you're not obligated to do the most exploitative thing.
