We all know this site is US-user heavy, but I wanna know how many are vs aren't from the land of capitalism.

So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

Cecil Palmer could do TMA but Jon Sims could not do WTNV. Cecil has no fucking curiosity, as the Archivist he would read all the statements and go “golly, these sure are fun :)” then find out about the Fears and kill Elias in three days. Jon in Night Vale would be fired and eaten day 1

Four Books in and no one working on Mo Dao Zu Shi official English release understands that Wei Wuxian doesn’t call his Cultivation Demonic but the Ghost Path.

This to me is just extreme incompetence at this point. I don’t know if it’s the translator or someone purposely changing it afterwards but either someone doesn’t know that Gui Dao and Mo Dao are two different words and that is important because the use of Mo Dao is meant to disparage Wei Wuxian in the story.

Or someone is purposely changing it back to Demonic Cultivation because they think it sounds cooler, because of the title of the novel (it’s meant to be a misnomer) I have no idea. Either way it’s completely wrong and completely misses the point why two different words are used throughout the story to refer to Wei Wuxian’s cultivation.

This isn’t a fan translation but an official translation and mistranslations like this are going to impact people’s understanding of the story.
