Maybe you're making assumptions, and it was intended to read like a cry to the heavens!

"Why does it smell like a girl? Oh Might! Because it's mine!!!"

Ran outta there like a bandit with a big sack of pixels!

We didn't invent pixels until Steve Jobs single-handedly started cranking out iPhones in 2007.

As soon as The Muppets and Lucasfilm were both owned by Disney, my friends and I spent a lot of time taking about how a Muppet Star Wars just makes sense.

Now, it's a bit of a crowded space, with Blue Harvest and Space Balls already doing a lot of parody work in this area, but I think there's still room. The only problem is that I think the normal formula would have Luke be played by a human and everyone else be Muppets, but Kermit feels like he'd be a great Luke. So you'd need one of the other key roles to be human to balance it out.

Just tell people it's a Beyblade! Easy!

I've been saying something similar for years with regards to cops. People are always like "he was suspected of robbing a store and he was fleeing" or "maybe he was on drugs" or "I heard he abused his kids" and its like, okay yeah, but if the cops caught that guy and brought him before a judge, even the judge wouldn't sentence them to death by firing squad! So no matter what we feel about if there should be police, or what their role is, we should at least definitely agree that they shouldn't be able to shoot someone fleeing a petty crime or whatever.

Even the cop apologists ought to agree that if a police officer can't catch a person without damaging them beyond what a sentence would carry, then that person should go free. Better luck next time, but opening fire on a person just because you can't run fast is unfathomable.

Ought to... but they don't care. Because they already don't see the victim as human, so they actually wish the sentence was firing squad, and so they're glad the boys in blue are out there carrying out proper justice, saving a bunch of time and headaches for the courts that were too afraid to do the right thing anyway...

So... whatever I guess. Hopefully their kids will hate them and be better...

I don't know, I haven't seen the scene or heard the vocal delivery, I'm not sure what kind of anime it is, or what kind of tone it's trying to strike. If the mood is "she has discovered a dark secret and is scared" then yeah, "I didn't realize you were a pedophile" would work great.

But if instead she's found some porn that isn't necessarily naked children, and it's played off as deadpan funny or awkward or misunderstanding, then I think "I didn't realize you were a pedophile" might not come across light heartedly in the way "I didn't realize you were a creep" or something similar would. Even if it's an accurate "word for word" translation, it might not sound right in the scene or match the character's delivery.

But I don't know this anime or what it's about, so I don't know what the tone should be. It just sounds like there's disagreement with the line as chosen.

If the term isn't meant to be so "heavy" in the original usage, and there isn't an equivalent "light" term here, I wonder if it would've been better to just translate it as "I didn't realize you were a creep" or something else that misses the nuance, but gets the intended feeling and tone across.

Even tab completion will either quote the thing for you or put in the excape characters. Why would one type anything? 😛

Oh those are just inverted toes! They're more common than people think, but if you stimulate them they might pop right out.

But if your toes are not inverted normally, and then one day they suddenly are inverted, you should talk to a doctor because that can be a sign of foot cancer.

You take that back! Toaster-with-googly-eyes chan and I are going to talk about this later and laugh at you!
