#i am once again hating on 7seas

Been inundated with posts about the character descriptions in the 7seas mxtx releases, and I just wanna say that I find it the highest level of disrespect how a publisher treated someone’s serious writing that they bought the publishing rights for as a little jokey joke that’s lead to so many people’s misconceptions about said book. Tell me: why do these character sheets include publisher/translator opinions on the characters? Why do these character sheets directly go against what the actual text has to say about these characters? Why do these novels need character sheets?
#mdzs#svsss#tgcf#i am once again hating on 7seas#as having done the most offensive translation work i have ever seen#we don’t have character sheets for 20+ long book series published in english#none of the mxtx novels came with built-in character sheets#so what fucking right did 7seas have to insert them?#when will people who *aren’t* racist#be given the resources and prestige to handle cross-cultural work?#i don’t care how serious or not serious you think any of these books are#someone *made* them#and that act of creation should be treated with the fucking respect that *creating something* deserves#and if you do not want to do that#then don’t go into that line of work
