Is she even a legit, real translator? I'm an actual, professional translator. And her twit here gives me the idea she she's a twat. As if she doesn't know shit about the centuries-old debate on "literal translation vs accurate translation", on the "adapting to the target culture despite how it might sensibly change the original phrases vs keeping the original culture that might be completely misunderstood by the new audience"..... and all that.

Can I guess she's not a translator, but a "translator", who gets hired only because, due to her shit-poor resume, they can pay her with breadcrumbs?

She's being an idiot for angering the fan base I reckon because who else watches "I reincarnated as a dog and got adopted by my crush" except the rabid weebs?

Then again maybe this is just an outrage marketing strategy? I certainly would never have even heard of this show if it weren't for this twitter spat. Maybe any publicity is good publicity after all? Though I still won't watch anything so trite and overdone as the "I reincarnated as x" anime series.
