#''i can't read orv in anything but korean‚'' i try to say‚ ''because i'm stubborn and i don't start with translations unless i have to.''#''no‚'' i respond‚ more clearly and patiently‚ ''you refuse to read it in english‚ because the way the english fandom reads it#is fundamentally warped and strange in ways you feel are completely incompatible with the native language. you are always thinking‚#'he wouldn't say that. they couldn't say that. in korean‚ that's not how it would be said‚ not how it would be thought.'#and you have to remind yourself that it doesn't matter‚ because no one's wrong‚ and it's just unwarranted pride and gatekeeping#that's spoiling it for yourself; a mean-spirited nationalistic thing that's contrary for the sake of it.#it's more than wanting spiritual fidelity that might get lost in translation. you are resentful‚ and feel like you're seeing falsehoods.#in short‚ you are being a cunt. stick to your guns if you must‚ but don't lie to yourself.''
