The Plague of Bad "Localizers!"

Trying to create a little topical content each day over on YouTube, and today's rant was relevant.

Talkin' about bad "localizers" and how they use a few difficult issues in Japanese to gaslight people... I'm a mediocre reader of Japanese, but I go through and cover the things that make Japanese a little tricky to translate and provide some references for you (if you want to get into the language yourself).
