ok uh. uh. for now i don't have the energy to try Dividing stuff with lists or different accounts for the interacting with respectable professionals, the gayming liveblogging, the anime spamming, and the insane NSFW worms, so we'll SEE how long that lasts. not sorry (yet?)
i found some of the energy so:

also the next guy will have to do it. and the next guy. basically you have created the translation equivalent of a curse upon your bloodline
this is more translation adjacent but if as translator or adapter you write a particular speech quirk for a major character you will have to continue writing every single line of theirs that way for the entire rest of the thing. plan accordingly
To my fellow translators: what do you wish someone had taught you about translation (whether the act or translation or having a freelance job) that you had to learn by yourself?

Short thread.
think of it like an allergen warning:
"allergen warning: contains wheat" is useful
"Allergen warning" & nothing else is unhelpful & would mean a lot of people that are fine with wheat wouldn't eat it, while people who weren't might assume it was about nuts or something & get hurt

General PSA that if you say or write "content warning" before discussing something for which a warning is necessary, you need to list at least the most important 1-3 parts of the warning. (Silly example below)
E.g., in a discussion about geometry that might scare people, "Content warning: squares"

It's an actual game plan on the right. They use it for book bans as well. They start with something easy: no porn in libraries. That hooks in the low information folks. Then you slowly broaden the scope until you're yanking any YA that violates Christian nationalism.
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...
ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner:
"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

Everything dreamy about cinnamon buns in a full pan of salted butter and brown cinnamon sugar ribbons and twists. As they fan open in the oven, the filling lightly caramelizes and crisps. Cream cheese icing on the side, because these are too pretty to cover.

Also, as someone who worked on HORSES and has also made porn games + comics: I really don't appreciate when people put down one thing I made to uplift the other! Especially considering no one at Santa Ragione *ever* framed it in these terms when we were discussing the Steam ban
I am a little disappointed when the conversation is focused around "it's art not porn!" because the adult games devs get very little support but have been dealing with this for far longer, and they've been sounding the alarm for that deplatforming coming for other games (such as LGBTQ+ content).
