Let's settle this ones and for all.
Are localizations permitted, or should TLs be as literal as possible?

Nothing wrong with proper localization but it seems like nowadays translaters cant help themselves and just shove as many memes in as possible.

It's always been this way, people have just are just sensitive to it now.

It's not as if there are only two extremes. It's possible to have a good translation without hacking the original script apart.
Because we're more aware of the original now. We never really knew back then.

Literal translations are shit but there's a fine line between keeping the meaning while making the dialogue interesting and going full retard like this.

>memes
god, I wish it was just memes.
NISA changed a shonen jump reference into a "LOL DRUMPF" joke.
Persona 5 and the gay scene being changed because some people are softer than a marshmallow, same for judgement's english dub.
People now use media to push agenda's instead of just translating it, same has been happening in the anime sphere since GG.

is Randy a man or a waifu?

If you're paying more attention to minor script tidbits and changes in a game rather than the overall package and how much fun you're having with it, odds are you never really liked video games in the first place.

It was a range. You had reasonable examples, and the the dog excrement that Working Designs put out that was half made up on the spot and pop culture references that aged horribly
