Have you ever come across a racial slur that's so ancient and so obscure that you don't even know it's even a slur when you first hear it?
That's what happened to the person who tried captioning this disturbing scene from Bill Moyers "Rosedale" documentary depicting racial tensions in Queens.

Why should we trust the police for anything anymore?
A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.
This is beyond cruel.

this is why I find the "don't give up on yourself, just follow your dreams" school of "you can make it in games/localization/subdiscpline" to be well-intentioned but generally bad advice. many people cannot afford to just grind until they make it. 1/3
creative industries as a whole have a class problem. you generally have to:
✨afford to be able to work for free to get initial experience
✨not have caring/financial responsibilities that might prevent you from opportunities
✨generally have some support system for insecurity/redundancy risks

I've spoken with executives in the loc industry who have admitted straight to me that they're intentionally publishing sub-par translations because audiences "are okay with them". Read: will still pay for a service even if the translation is bad.
We need to prove to them that we won't.
