Stupid anime fans

[thatperson]

So dattebayo finally put a note at the bottom of their press release that their threat to stop fansubbing is not a troll. I've been reading interpretations of their original message and am appalled at how ungrateful people are for the work they do. Most of the people just dismissed the warning. Even though I would hate it if dattebayo stopped fansubbing, part of me wishes they would because of all those idiots out there...

We have most of the box sets of Naruto and the subbing is horrible. You know what $40+ gets you? "pervy sage" for ero-sennin!

I feel "LOL" should henceforth be banned from this forum so that we might distinguish ourselves from all the morons of the world who also happen to watch Naruto...

LO.... oh. ;D

I haven't looked at the press release nor at the responses, but you are right that there are a lot of people who ignore the work that goes into such fansubs. Likewise, fansubs with good translations like those from DB or Fufei make even the best DVD ones seem disappointing. I remember how much work Fufei did when he translated, and he had the advantage of having previously lived in Japan.

Realistically, DB is known for pulling stunts and being obnoxious (and sometimes I wonder of Fuf is their translator). They've done this stunt before. But this is life online. If they stop, it'll be sad but life will go on.
