    For Manga and Anime in particular:

    • Removal of honorifics which convey a person’s status which can ba explained in a translators notes page or a quick look at Wikipedia

    • Giving people with different dialects from standard Tokyo dialect different English accents like southern americanese or Scottish. They’re Japanese, not Scottish or american

    • Using american English

    • Using american slang which no one outside of america understands

    • Even though I don’t watch dubs anymore and prefer subs every dub I’ve seen poorly attempts to imitate the way Japanese people speak

      Using american English

      I don’t even use American English, but come on. This is a silly hill to die on, and one full of linguistic prejudice.
