Hello, friends across the ocean!☺️
I’m a TRPG player from Japan.
I play a variety of TRPG systems, but I mainly draw fan art for D&D sessions!

- Crunchyroll launched in 2006 as a pirate anime streaming site
- After a $4M investment in 2009, they went legal and abandoned the fansubbers who built them, no credit, no compensation
- Crunchyroll betrayed fansubbed
- Fansubs gave you karaoke OP/ED lyrics, translator notes,
"But guys, bad localization don't happen anymore, its a thing of the past, you guys are nitpicking"
Localizers: "Tsundere = Fragile male ego".
And they seriuslly want to convince they don't want to ruin anime/manga/gaming and Japanese culture...
Japan, just copy what Steam did for games but for anime. Make a platform neutral to all companies they can distribute on. Instead of mod support, have fansub support to turn former pirate groups into allies.
Whoever does this will make ten trillion dollars.
An even bigger issue is the censorship at the creative level, even before localization
Japan should look into these parasites ruining their anime and video games without them realizing it

Parents decided when they bought the device for the child.
Parents decided when they did or did not engage with existing tools.
Government demands arent going to change these things.
A lazy parent is just going to “verify” regardless. And a good parent is already protecting
Fight them.
This is their last push. If they win, we all lose. Every human.
Age verification is stoppable. No one has to play along.
We pay their bills.
We dont have to tolerate this.
