  • If in the last sentence you would replace sex with gender than i would agree.

    I think it’s more appropriate so compare race to gender because both are social constructs (that doesn’t make them less real. It just means the implications of it are not fixed changing over time and are depending on the society)

    The historical race concepts tell that differences are genetic and biological. But they are wrong. To cite Wikipedia:

    Today, the scientific consensus is that genetics does not explain differences in IQ test performance between groups, and that observed differences are environmental in origin.

    Instead about the sex you are right. It is proven to make biological differences. And I find it often difficult to decipher which of them are based on sex and which on gender















  • My native language is German and I never had a problem with it. But i think compared to Japanese the German language is fairly easy and German is also much more similar to English than Japanese. So not only Translating but also dubbing and subtitles are much easier to do.

    Maybe in your example the translators didn’t know it better or were underpaid. I also don’t know how well the dubbing and subbing to japanese are overall level is. In german the level is quite high… i was onlynoticing that movies were translated and not origially german when i was like 11-13. (That could also just mean that i was a stupid child, but i think it’s the combination between that and the good dubbing)

    About the different challenges between subtitles and dubbing i can recommend a Tom Scott video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU9sHwNKc2c
