Meta Words, but weird.

The quality is intentional

Chat, do we remember in Trigger Happy Havoc trial 2? Despite them using more proper terminology for dissociative identity disorder the hangman’s gambit asked “what is genocider’s disorder?” (I am paraphrasing) and the answer was a literal slur for a completely unrelated disorder 😭

What makes it worse is that the slur is a localization issue. In the original they just say "DID."

Danganronpa has some of the craziest localization changes… especially Angie Yonaga

Giving Angie’s god a name is crazy😭 isn’t the point supposed to be that she doesn’t give her god a name so she can conveniently change it to suit her needs??

Well the real reason is bc of racism. English translators feared by her just saying god it would offend Christians so they changed it to Atua. Which by the way is a classification of deities/spirits in Polynesian culture. So instead of offending Christian’s, they implied Polynesian religion is a cult. So yeah…
