@@spongebobby6027 No. They wouldn't. Europeans not only usually speak several languages, it's made up of so many countries with so many languages they wouldn't have the hide to expect people to speak theirs. If it's a trope at all, it's an American only one. Sorry.
Thats weird but maybe thats the answer to heros question? They sinply hate other cultures and wanna do all they can to shit on em, like its not even about a money? Idk.
To be fair to you, that’s more of a personal observation than a generalization. But honest a lot of localizers don’t seem to actually like Japan or have any interest in manga/anime.
Just like the time I saw a training drone shop at Aqua City in Odaiba (Tokyo) have a sign telling foreigners they can't fly drones indoors, their store is for training purposes only. Japanese really hate Brazilians as well for what the video talks about, I can see why. They're also far too horny for their own good. If they don't get the way they want they get a whiny.
It should be common sense. They shouldn’t _need_ a sign that tells foreigners that the natives only speak their native language. If anything, there should be signs that advertise their employees being able to speak an additional language.
The Localizers do not deserve to have a job, all they do is hate on every anime and manga they worked on, and they complain when they are told to actually do their job right
I don’t agree with the localized, but he’s not just talking with people. It’s a shop, they have to accept him. There are hundreds of real time translations apps so you don’t need to speak Japanese to get a haircut
@@melcorchancla9431He wasn’t willing to look for other solutions. It was, “you speak English or I leave” and that’s it. Not only are there tons of decent translator apps to use but most barber shops or hair salons have some sort of magazines or style guides to look through just in case someone doesn’t know the name of the cut they’re looking for or maybe they want something new. They ALWAYS come with pictures too.

@@melcorchancla9431Yeah, but for some reason, translation apps still suck big time when it comes to Japanese language. I actually wouldn't recommend it for nuanced conversations like when you need to describe how you want your haircut. It could still lead to some misunderstanding.

Exactly, if they aren't comfortable making a cake for you, move on to another bakery. Or better yet, be like all the weddings I've been to, and make the cake yourself. For half the price, we get twice the cake.
So many people here in Brazil grew up watching anime and wanting to work in Japan, but only a few actually are able to go (because of problems like lack of money, education etc), ends up only those stupid types end up going (for some stupid reasons) And it's always the ones who say they hate Japan but never leave.
@@Alecs250You would think this localizer would be American but he turns out to be Brazilian apparently with some Japanese ancestry according to his lame bio.
1) If you're in a foreign country long enough to need a haircut there, learn some of their language. 2) Even if you're only in a foreign country for a few days, try to learn some basic vocabulary, even if it's just the basic phrases for politeness. 3) Even if you're sure lots of people in that country speak your language, try to learn some of the local language.
In my experience getting a haircut in a foreign country that I can't speak the language, if they're willing to work with you and you have a good picture of what you want they can give you pretty close to what you want. I didn't get exactly what I wanted but it looked good. I was open minded and just pleasantly surprised I got something good despite not being able to communicate. I can fully understand why they wouldn't want to risk pickier clients who don't speak the language, especially with how serious people take their hair.
I'm so mad this dude is Brazilian like me, dude, like, here on Brazil would be the same situation as there, like, i do speak both Portuguese and English, but i can`t go somewhere like Britain and be mad people there won`t speak Portuguese, now if it was here, on Brazil, with foreign people speaking other languages and not Portuguese i could kinda see the point of his complaint, but it still would be unreasonable af dude... i can`t with these people man... these twitter weirdos are so out of touch, it doesn`t matter nationality, gender, orientation, age, nothing matters when we`re talking about entitled people doing or saying something stupid on twitter.

I’m actually so sorry… HOW is one barber shop in JAPAN telling customers that they won’t understand them if they don’t speak JAPANESE racial discrimination?!?! istg with these localizers. calling the police over, HEAVEN FORBID, a shop that tells it’s customers that they will not cut your hair if they cannot understand you. it would be funny if it weren’t so damned sad.
I guarantee you if you put up a sign in Spanish like that in the US, there be some kind of discrimination lawsuit incoming. Whether it's categorized as racial or ethnic or country of origin. You're expected to make a best effort to understand the customer. If you can't you can't but putting a sign basically saying "No English speakers allowed" is absolutely some sort of discrimination.
@@pdpgb funny enough. several stores dont require you to speak english but spanish IS a requirement. I've actually walked out of a subway because the only person working didnt speak english because it wasnt a requirement for the job >.< but seriously tho. putting a sign up that says "I dont understand spanish so I dont know what you want" dosnt really seem that bad to me, luckily alot of the pure spanish speakers use translation apps (im slowly learning the language via osmosis)
@@pdpgbSo...despite your efforts as a business owner, you give your client a bad haircut. They waste your money and would possibly be given a bad review (if a review system exists) and everyone's time is wasted. It's not worth it. Look, I'm sure you can still enter the shop. You have just been warned of what would happen if you do.
@@pdpgb Yes, because America is a country that mostly speaks English. Japan is a country that mostly speaks Japanese, the average barbershop owner shouldn't be expected to speak another language.
They never deserved their jobs to begin with. These parasites are the very reason why a lot of anime, manga, and Japanese video games for the past several years either get censored or intentionally mistranslated into Woke Western gobbledygook.
The same localizers who supported the 2020 riots is why people like Johnny Somali are "allowed" to cause havoc in Japan. The localizers really hate their foreign boss' and Japan for no apparent reason....
I'm going to take a wild stab and guess that what happened to localization is the same thing that happened to comics. Comics haven't paid well in a long time, but a while back when comic book movies became really popular a whole wave of new writers who actually hated comics suddenly saw them as a golden ticket to fame, and to more lucrative Hollywood writing jobs. They came into comics, wrote garbage books that are really more ment as poorly vailed movie/tv pitches, were rejected by the fans, and discovered that the movie studios are uninterested. Now they are broke and bitter at the fans who saw through their game. Now I'm not sure where these "Localizers" think they can go after this, but the behavior is consistent.
Yeah that sounds feasible, stuck in a place that they viewed as a stepping stone, bitter that they don’t have the talent or connections to go into projects they really want. So, with no other apparent options they begin to inject themselves into the projects they work on, their ideals, their politics, their humour, so much so that they begin to associate themselves with the games as if they were the leading force behind it. Then when the games get pushback because of bad translations, inserted politics or just complete rewriting of characters or scenes, they view it as an attack on them personally. Because to them it’s their project, their creation.
I am Japanese. Japanese people appreciate pewdiepie because he does not think Japan is a paradise, and he does not put down Japan as a racist country. He lives in Japan knowing the good and the bad of Japan and accepting even the things he doesn't understand. Japanese people like this attitude very much. Because Japanese people really dislike it when people can't follow the rules or can't respect others. If you are a foreigner, you are told to leave, and if you are Japanese, you can be killed socially. It is okay to dress up as a woman. You are not in danger even if you are a sexual minority. In extreme cases, Japanese people will put up with it if you are a pedophile or not, if you live modestly without committing crimes and just get excited about two-dimensional illustrations. No matter how abnormal or perverted you are, as long as you don't cause trouble to others, you are fine. Any human being can exist as long as he or she obeys the rules. In other words, going to another country and imposing the values of your own country on others is also an action that lacks respect for the local people, and is unacceptable. Therefore, my conclusion is 「日本から出ていけ」
Out of curiosity, would it be possible to out this dude to relevant officials or the companies he works with to actually get him into real trouble and facing some form of consequenses?
@@PaperiLiidokki Although it does not always produce results, sending complaints to the employer or the company is an effective method in Japan. If the complaint is deemed to be detrimental to the business, the individual may be fired or forced to resign. For example, a far-left man working for a cybersecurity firm was fired after he collected personal information about conservative Facebook users and published it on Twitter. Considering the occupation of the man who caused the problem in this video, it seems that a protest from a foreigner would be more effective than a protest from a Japanese person. Whatever the complaint may be, as it grows in size, the company is sure to be required to do something about it. So if you don't like localizers who mix their own extreme ideas into translations of anime and manga, etc., please send your complaints to the relevant Japanese companies, etc. It would be effective to explain the actual damage to the company, such as the loss of customers to pirated fan translations if the localizer is not changed.
0:54 it's not really racist since they can't speak English like any other countries that learned how to, hence the message the OP had. if you're going into different countries YOU the traveler have to learn & understand their language and words in order to get by the weekend since half of the people in certain countries don't speak English. if you can't do that, well that's too bad.
As a Brazilian it's quite normal for Brazilians to go to other countries, stir shit up or ignore the local customs and language and cry the victim when it bites them in the ass. I've know tons of Brazilians who either pretend they aren't (usually they also have italian or Portuguese or japanese citizenship) or avoid Brazilians illegals(most likely to be rude, or ignore the local customs and language).
@@No_Anime_No_Life. Never gonna happen here lmao, Brazil is a shithole through and through and I challenge any moron who pretends to be a nationalist to challenge me otherwise.
I’ve seen it many times from Brazilian tour groups in certain Florida theme parks, they cause tons of trouble and when they are asked to stop or leave they throw a tantrum
And for some reason the few Brazilians that are able to work in Japan are always like this dude, hate the country but never leave. There's a lot of people that would be very glad to be able to work in Japan and respect the country, but they're unable to go
Just because someone from another country has Japanese ancestry, doesn't mean they'll see eye-to-eye with non-westernized native born-and-raised Japanese people. Look at Japanese-Americans. Most of them are woke far leftists who will very likely be all for pushing certain cultural or political views that will be incompatible with Japanese culture or society if given the opportunity.

Translators are more important than localizers. Japanese content should be honored as Japanese content. People support anime and manga as they are. People can get the U.S. stuff from the U.S. easy that they do not need Japan nor other countries to make the U.S. stuff. Pin, please.
I swear. The guy couldn't hire a translator or use the translator app on his phone instead of causing such stupid commotion! People like him really pisses me off. Not many people in the country can speak English unless they're residing in a populous cities. (Source: I'm Japanese who lived in Japan almost half of my life, currently residing in the US.)
Sure I guess but only because most content doesn't actually need localization. There are good localizers who can translate a poem or pun and have most of the meaning carry across languages, which a simple translation would turn to nonsense. Those are very rare these days though, mostly it is people who do not localize at all, but rather just insert fanfiction that has nothing to do with what was actually said.
@@Claudekrwell said 👏. I've seen some manga translators replacing a pun in Japanese with a pun in English and it usually goes pretty well or they have little notes of the transliteration(romanji) or Kanji spelling for things like the word game shiritori sometimes the pun or reference is so complicated or foreign that the translators write whole pages of notes
I not even know why "localizer" is even a thing. Like as if you consuming something from a different country with different culture, then what do you expect? Of course it won't fit your culture, but it's not hard to understand if you pay attention for what you consume. So only the people's laziness to understand new stuff are why "localizer" is a thing....
Well, this is the embodiment of entitlement and sheer lack of humbleness and as well as arrogance. It is rather unfortunate that a nothing burger of an issue could be simply be resolved by two choices, learn the language that you are living in, or the quickest is to look for another hair salon tailored to your tastes or preferences
Translators > Localizers. Know the difference. It will save you from western SJW cringe. Translators: Do the best of their ability to accurately and faithfully depict the Author's original intent. Localizers: "You're too stupid to understand Japan has its own culture!" *Replaces "rice ball" with "jelly doughnut" and thinks they're cool.*
As a Brazilian myself, I am ashamed of him. I would like to see him try go to USA for example and sue them for not speaking portuguese, since it makes as much sense as what he wants to do in japan.
Same. I can't even trust subbed anime or translated manga anymore after seeing Funimation and VIZ Media getting exposed deliberately mistranslating stuffs into woke politics garbage.
Back in my day Umineko was fan translated and the same group became the official translators for anything coming from 07thExpansion. Moral of the story: ALWAYS support fan translations
Anyone else notice that he typed "costumers" and not "customers"? So, Japanese businesses have been sued by foreign cosplayers? I don't care what excuse he or anyone else comes up with; if your job is to localize text into other languages, you do not have the privilege of misspelling any word, for any reason, ever.
They love the reach and influence, the prestige, of the culture and industry. They hate everyone else involved keeping them from doing what they want with it.
This also reminded me of an incident in Spain where a store clerk called "mister", someone who clearly was an adult male, and got offended because HE was non binary
They're not "racist" at all because they say they cut the hair of Japanese-speaking whites and blacks and don't cut the hair of Asians who don't speak Japanese. By the definition of the word racist, because they're not discriminating in someone's Race.
Weirdest thing is that this guy has a brazilian flag in his profile, if he really is brazilian he knows most of the shops here also doesn't have english speakers working for them, so why he is demanding that from other countries? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Do most shops put up signs saying "No English speakers allowed"? It's the difference between not having a wheelchair ramp and having a sign that says: "No handicapped people allowed".
@@pdpgb What the sign actually said was "we won't be able to effectively serve you if you don't speak Japanese, so we will not risk it." If someone who speaks English as their first language went into the store and spoke to them in Japanese, they'd serve them happily. Plus, can you imagine having to staff a salon to cover every possible language that could come in the door?!
@@pdpgb In no place it's written "No English speakers allowed", the sign says "We can only speak japanese", it is a service that requires the provider to understand what his client wants, if they both speak different languages there's no way they can communicate and understand each other, it's basic logic.
@@ImZayin It's basically saying: "If you don't speak Japanese, don't enter our store." Not: "We may not be able to understand you properly.". It says in bold letters that they WILL NOT cut your hair. Not that there may be a language barrier so we apologize for any inconvenience which would be the appropriate thing to write. And bruh it's a hair salon place. Yea completely impossible to communicate unless you speak fluent Japanese. Not like you can point to a hairstyle on the wall or they can learn 10 English words that they might need.
@@rcrawford42 Well the good thing about current year is that we have an international business language which every fucking developed country teaches in school so they only need someone who can speak that one. You should look up clips of foreigners speaking fluent Japanese to Japanese businesses and look at their reactions.
Here in my country in Asia, translators capable of Japanese and English are paid at a rate that is around 4 times what you'd earn as a new IT professional in a company. That rate also goes up exponentially higher (more or less 2x) the more fluent you are and the better your credentials with regards to the language. I do not understand how these people are considered "paid so little" when they earn nearly 8 times more than what I do on a monthly basis for my office job which also includes physical labor tasks due to me being a man. And if they are paid very little, then why continue working in a job you don't like only to end up attacking that country's culture and language? It seems to me like they HATE everything about that country and culture, but because they are paid a lot and know there's nothing better for them outside of that job they cannot leave their jobs to work on a country/job that they instead actually like.
even tough there is racial discrimination in japan .. this is not it.. and as a Brazilian .. im surprised that we have the biggest amount of Japanese outside of japan and he still failed to ask people here about cultural differences ... and he should delete twt acc because i would expect that behavior from an american but Brasil? sério cara? PQP
From personal observations anyone that is quick to throw the word 'incel' at someone tends to be the worst kind of people. Also I suppose I should be concerned that someone that apparently localizes japanese stuff 'called out' someone for having an anime profile picture but localizers that actually like japan and the things made there are seemingly nonexistent.
I mean, it makes sense that they would be terrible, doesn't it? Brush away all the buzzwords and dog whistles, and what is calling someone an 'incel' really doing? It's just another shameless way of insulting guys for 'being virgins', thinking that for whatever reason it's cool to kick someone they perceive as already downed. That's already scum level behavior on its own.
now hold on. i think we should let the guy call the police and try to explain how a whole country is causing him psychological distress because he can't get a haircut. make sure he records their reaction, too. he may be onto something here.
You would sue the hair salon, not the country. If you put up a sign like that in the US you would get sued successfully. I don't know if Japan actually has similar anti discrimination laws.
@@pdpgb You can't sue a hair salon for not speaking english in a country that has a completly different language. Of course they will want to avoid you if they can't understand what you are saying. And just let's not think that every country has the same set of laws as your usa does, because every country is different.
@@tovarishcheleonora8542 I've addressed this a million times already. You don't sue them for not speaking English, you sue them for putting up a discriminatory sign against non Japanese speakers. You may be able to point to a haircut, they almost certainly know a little English since every one of them learned it in school. But they simply don't want you in their store. They don't want to put in a best effort to accommodate you. Yes they have different laws but they are also part of international treaties by which they are subject to international courts and anti discrimination laws. This isn't 1850, it's not a free for all, you can't just do whatever you want as a country and not be reprimanded by the international community.
@@pdpgb "they almost certainly know a little English since every one of them learned it in school." In japan the english teaching is bad. And they only learn how to pass the exams from it. Also english is a hard language for a japanese speaker, even if they "laern it" in school. "You don't sue them for not speaking English, you sue them for putting up a discriminatory sign against non Japanese " Yeah you technically sue them for not speaking your sh*tty english. Because that sign is not 'discriminatory' but a time saver. Since if they can't serve you then that's the easiest to put out a sign. And it's understandable thing to do. After all not every shop is for tourists who not speaks the language. "But they simply don't want you in their store. They don't want to put in a best effort to accommodate you." No. They just can't work with you if you not speak japanese. That's all. Not every people knows your english. There are lot of people i nevery country who only knows their own language. Also no, that's not discrimination if they just can't even communicate with you because you think that the whole world will talk english for you.
@@tovarishcheleonora8542 You're assuming they physically can't communicate with you enough to cut your fucking hair. I'm sure that is a load of shit for most English speaking people coming into the salon. You can point to a hairstyle, you can use google translate on your phone, they should know a few words in English related to their business. The idea that this is some super complicated thing where despite their best efforts they're just unable to understand you is just bullshit. It's a mild annoyance. Maybe they had 1 customer complain. Boo hoo. That doesn't mean you get to ban all English speakers.
I went to many hair saloons during my time in Japan, some of the shops had people who couldn't speak english, but i never had a problem, in other cases a lot of young japanese stylists had small talk in english and then in japanese with me , so we could practice language while cutting my long hair. In my last month there i went to small shop in Kyoto, i speak japanese but the stylist was very kind and asked if i wanted an english speaking staff. After 30 minutes, left the shop with a cool fresh hairstyle and enjoyed a long walk in a sunny day. Ahh good times. Anyways, dude needs to stop using twatter and go touch some grass, and see how real life works.
The problem is, there’s too many people like him… going to live in a country they don’t know the language and then complain that the locals can’t speak English.
I'm not from Brazil nor speak Portuguese but I'm pretty sure that if he tried to pull that off over there (or in any other country to be honest because honestly if he tries to pull that of in Mexico,) the police would just laugh at him.
I got the best haircut if my life when I use to live in New York. I walked to the barber across the street, no one there spoke anything but Spanish and we could not understand anything we were saying to each other. Somehow I ended up in the chair and 20 minutes later I walked out with the best cut I ever had.
Yea my barber only speaks Turkish but he is cheaper than the other ones Turkish is harder than Spanish. i have been learning both for 6 years i can speak Spanish with minor mistakes .but Turkish still sounds like nonsense to me i only know a few words.
I wonder if this guy would feel the same that situation happened to a Japanese citizen visiting Brazil? Me-thinks he'd take the opposite stance against the Japanese.
Whatever happened to doing as the Romans (or in this case, the Japanese) do when in Rome (or in this case, Japan). This is what happens when both countries (Rome and Japan) stopped crucifying people.

There's a lot of things they do in Japan that would get you called racist over here in the US. I don't think they are though. "Xenophobic" at worst but mostly they just act on experience. If they have a bad time with foreigners, I don't hold it against them when they discriminate. Some places won't rent to you if you're a foreigner. Some banks won't allow you to open a bank account(for multiple reasons one of which is US IRS requirements in reporting by the bank, they don't want to deal with it, happened after 9/11 terrorist attack).
As someone who has experienced this first hand from living in Japan, I understand why this business made that sign. Its purely out of courtesy. There are some areas that have English speakers, but in most of Japan its rather rare besides inside train stations and public service locations. Japanese businesses takes their customer service very seriously for the most part and they don't want to get a request wrong. Localizers need to just go away
This guy's logic. For psychological distress, let me put myself in a vulnerable financial position that will be a lengthy affair that is going to put me under psychological, emotional and financial distress as well as limit my general movement as I am going to have to remain partially stationary to complete the legal proceedings that are likely to take several weeks if not months to resolve because i couldn't be arsed to take a walk around to a different hair stylist.
It's kind of sad to see. Not every place have to be speaking in english just because the place you live is very well known. These people would probably go to mexico or anywhere other than english speaking country and complain why they aren't speaking english to them.
How do go/live in a country and not know there are places/businesses that are Japanese only? If anything thess people at the shop actually care enough to be like "we dont want to give you bad service"
This is when you just bring a picture and point at the one you want. Although, I usually just shave my head bald in spring and let it grow out over the winter.
Its pretty much etiquette when visiting another country too speak there language or English will do too you just might run into the problem he did anyway he is visiting another country a guest Sometimes that means not being able to visit a certain area(also its 2023 and apps that record and translate languages are everywhere anyway)
It's also etiquette that if you're running a business you have at least one person who can speak enough English to serve a potential foreign customer. Not just for entitled Americans but English is the global business language.
@@rcrawford42 Yes abso-fucking-lutely if you're running any type of serious business where customers walk in off the street. No fucking shit. Or else you make a best effort to communicate by pointing or whatever else. They 100% learn English in school. They absolutely know a little bit. Fucking everybody in the developed world.
These people that believe everyone needs to cater to them or its racist or causes them emotional distress need to just get kicked out of the country. These people are beyond ludicrous and should not, under any circumstances, be catered to.
