Fascinating  In no way did I mention any of those three categories of characters. I'll occasionally see profanity used in fansubs when the speaker is unlikely to speak that way either because of their personality, character type, or situational context. But to be honest... if the original dialog didn't have it, there's not usually a reason to add it. Basically, such antics start trending towards "joke subs" or "What's Up, Tiger Lilly?" rewrites. |
Well, there is a reason to add profanity if you're localising at times. But I take it you prefer literal over localised.
