This is their Osaka based localization team, which is full of westerners in localization who are EXTREMELY left leaning and CONTROL the narrative! @CapcomL10N

Localization is one of easiest jobs today, you just put the game file text file into some translator and then compare the text done.
But because it's so easy they need to find an excuse
Localization isn't just about translating words; it's about adapting the game for a global audience. Think cultural nuances, idioms, and regional flair. A good localization makes players feel right at home, wherever in the world they are!
In Phoenix Wright they changed sushi to burger but animation of sushi's wasn't changed.
Nah! Preserving the vibe is key. Jokes, references, and even gameplay elements might need a little cultural remix. It's important to find that sweet spot to make sure players get the intended experience without feeling like something got lost in the process.
It's 2024, not 1976. World is pretty globalised there ain't any exclusive jokes left.
Each language has its unique structure and cultural context. Our teams work to ensure the narrative and dialogue maintain coherence and emotional impact. It's not just about words; it's about capturing the essence of the story in a way that resonates with the target audience.
Ai does this just fine
🚫 Cultural Sensitivity in Characters
Character design and development must be culturally sensitive. What may be acceptable in one culture might be offensive in another. Localizers play a crucial role in ensuring that characters are relatable and respectful, avoiding stereotypes or other references that could be perceived as negative in specific cultures.
So now they are talking so localizers are just propaganda bureau

Neighbor Street Fighter 6 came out almost a year ago, we already know what peak Capcom woke crap looks like, it's a black twink with blue hair
You see him for like 15 seconds then he disappears into the gay bathhouse
Oh and a couple of the new characters are ugly women
Idk, it's a bit grating but nothing more, the game itself is solid and you're a cute twink if you spend your time with a fighting game in the battle hub/single player campaign instead of fighting like a man in ranked
If it was a single player only game that got an ugly female MC, then yeah I'd be more annoyed
but I don't think Capcom does that? Idk I don't play 99% of AAA-slop

Capcom was always gay, DMC3 is 2 guys shirtless doing sexy poses, resident evil 4 (og) a gay rejecting horny girl, street fighter never had real good looking foids like dead or alive or Tekken. Poison first
video gaym character, Capcom game.
But I doubt it's their final form since even perfect cell has a form beyond perfect cell

I will not be satisfied until there is a Futa Representation in Street Fighter!
