There's a Sailor Moon game for the GameBoy that asks you if you're a boy or a girl, & if you choose girl all it does is turn on easy mode. There wasn't a point to this post, I just thought that was kind of messed up.

If JK Rowling herself doesn't separate her art from her transphobia, and has said she sees every Harry Potter fan as a fan of her transphobia, and uses every dollar she makes to fund transphobia, I need people to stop insisting they "separate art from artist" because it's beyond disingenuous atp

All the money JK Rowling has could be used to do something good in the world, and she chose to use it to bludgeon a children's organization into excluding specific children.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

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)

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 wouldn’t say they hate their customers. They just like money more.
To quote an industry exec I met at an event this year, “Why spend extra money for 100% quality when you can make the same profit with 60% quality?”
It’s about the minimum viable product. Of course it is; they’re businesspeople.

The people in charge of these companies hate their customers.
"Every other company is doing it, and charging cheaper prices for localization. If we don't do this, we will go under."
"Audiences don't care that much about quality. So if we can meet the bare minimum and save money, that's best for everyone."
"Have you run the numbers though? Are you suuuuure?"

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!
