>>15464274I feel like she has a fair amount of oversea "Friends" but not that many oversea "Sukonbu" if you know what I mean. These are two very different demographics that like her for very different reasons. Liking FBK because she is cute is perfectly legitimate, but there is much more to her that is just beyond reach if you don't understand her, she can be very quick witted and funny but it just doesn't convey very well. Unfortunately most oversea viewers don't understand anything beyond what that translator feeds them and while his translations are decent given under how much time pressure he works, his version of FBK is not the same person as the real one and they feel like very different personalities. He overlocalizes everything including jokes, names, proper nouns and her way of speaking, basically like an anime dub (I don't know his background but from his style of translations I'm pretty sure that he worked in that industry or at least in fan-subbing at some point), which I don't think you should do with a real person, it just gives people the wrong impressions. The oversea viewers seem obsessed with memes while the Japanese Sukonbu I follow/encounter on Twitter seem very passionate about her as a person, just check out her tags after every stream and you'll see loads of people giving their impressions and commenting on the stream every time, there are barely ever any oversea viewers among them. I really recommend doing your reps, it has made me appreciate her so much more than I already did beforehand.
