It's not that it's wrong, but it's getting a little bothersome that translators never compromise with anybody in doing any other show that they don't like 100%. Insert the story of outlaw55 and Tengouki at Lunar: blackmail.
Seriously, unless you "hate" a show of some sort, you shouldn't rule out working for it if the team might like it, so long that it contributes to the community,

Man, make me feel like a criminal. In most groups (or so I like to believe) there usually is some compromise. But in our shoes it is very difficult to get to work on a show if we don't like it (more than a so-so like). Personally I only translate keep both my English and Japanese skills up to date somewhat. If you find that selfish, so be it.

All translators stay in their own groups, but they have a little club, a little guild of their own. Inside, they can help/proofread each other, or teach other transers or newcomers. And, you can choose to go or not go at all, and if you do, visit there anytime you want. It's a good way to help each other grow, attract more transers, and talk more often about joint projects.

To some degree this happens. You just apparently don't know about it.
