The way people post about subtitles and dubs and other forms of translation on here makes it clear they think translators are inherently untrustworthy and unprofessional. I have rarely seen so much distrust and skepticism towards a profession as "invisible" as this

#Translation #Subtitles #Dubbing #Invisible here has different meanings #The invisibility of the translator as in trying to make the translation seem so natural that people don't think about them #And invisibility as in not out in the open #Unlike big public professions like politics and police and doctors who are often criticised on here for like fair reasons #And it's not like a translator can't cause harm #But it's not the same as a highly visible powerful profession #Some of the posts on here would sound absolutely deranged if said about like literally any other regular profession #Macks Musings
