Angry about the Amazon AI anime “dubs” on Banana Fish and other shows that were removed in English but are still up in Spanish? This is a VERY GOOD script in Spanish to go bully Amazon more! Thank you so much, Caramel Machete, I really owe you one 😍
I added some stuff, but I did try to convey the seriousness of the matter
“Al poner doblajes en español hechos con IA en lugar de un equipo profesional de doblaje, es total y absolutamente inexcusable.

Oof. I’ve not been exactly rooting for Torgs anyway after the M*GA reveal, but crashing out on Twitter over Jason is not a good look, man.

Yes, flood CR's feedback line too with requests to
- stop using AI to closed caption dubs
- keep their current subtitling software (Aegisub. Not the one they are switching to)
Please!

Good job, guys. See if you can't make similar results happen for No Game, No Life and Vinland Saga.
Getting close to time to start asking for the same kind of fervor for AI generated closed captions as well. You can fight this, it CAN work.

I can be pissed about things for decades you don't even know
“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Has anyone every actually looked at the lyrics for Jingle Bells? It's such a weird fucking song? It's about crashing your sleigh with the hot girl you like in it next to you. And falling on your ass in the snow while some fuck in a sleigh points and laughs at you. What the fuck?

What is your favorite "Christian" Christmas song and what is your favorite "Secular" Christmas song?
I will probably always adore "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" for Christian.
And "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" for secular.

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

I also think we cannot over look the fact that Banana Fish is a queer series beloved by queer people and women. It's beloved, it's iconic, but it's not the mainstream success Demon Slayer is. They chose do take their chance here with a project loved by minorities 'cause they don't care about us.
In a world where Demon Slayer owned movie theaters, broke multiple records in the US, & had its English dub praised in every corner of the internet, it's wild a company could even consider doing a full on AI dub. It's like a captain drilling holes in the ship right as it gets into port.

Even if Amazon removes the anime AI dubs I don’t see them bouncing back from this especially if professional VAs and translators no longer feel their shows are safe to work with and fans will feel further justified in pirating the shows they license that they won’t bother to subscribe now.
