Hazbin hotel is dubbed in other languages too, it’s not an ESL issue(from someone who is ESL). Anons just trying to be a jerk. Hang in there Clari

aw hehe thank you for letting me know this anon <33 you’re a sweetie!! i can see where that anon was coming from, definitely, but like i said, when we’re discussing media literacy we’re of course not talking about someone who understandably misconstrues something due to a language barrier or very poor translators. that isn’t at all a media literacy issue, nor is it the viewer’s fault, and a misunderstanding like that says nothing about that person’s literacy! <3

#slightly confused on how the subtitles would be misleading tho because shouldn't they be translating the words???#like shouldn't altruist have been translated to something like selfless or self-sacrifice or philanthropist or humanitarian etc???#it's obviously NOT on the viewer for misunderstanding if this were the case #it's a criticism of how poorly the translation was done #and sparks a different conversation about literacy entirely centered around the translator #but anyway! <3 i love u thank u for letting me know this as well #i only speak english fluently so i can't like confirm any of these things on my own #i hope your weekend has been going well anon bb!!!#stay safe and pls drink water <3 #inky.bb #clari gets mail
