     @matrix That's really changing the translation and interpretation though. You could take this a totally different way. Granted I don't know the story and how much of an impact this change could have.

     Neither of these are that great. I can't say "相棒" really has the same connotation as "partner" does. It sounds more like something a girl would say when she doesn't want to commit to the relationship rather than a gender neutral alternative like it is in English.
     
     some discussion about it:

     correction, the word here is actually 相方 but it still sounds like something you would use to avoid commitment rather than avoiding gender.

     this blog post does suggest it's closer to how "partner" is used in English so I should take back that the top one is inaccurate.
     
     I am weary of accepting "based" translations just as much as "woke" ones, I think it's usually best to avoid any kind of baggage that might not exist in the other language.

     @Tepid_Tapir It has no impact on the story. It's just a quip.

     @Tsuki @matrix I fhink "partner" is a good equivalent. It carries the same neutrality and sense of noncommitment as the kanji.

     it's definitely better than what they went with on the bottom. that one completely changes how i imagine the type of girl he's talking about.

     @Tsuki It's definitely good to be sceptic and verify.
     Thanks for finding the blogpost. It does seem the usage is close to English.

     @Tsuki @matrix not to take away from your point but I think typically at least in the context of a cishet relationship "partner" in English often is a way to avoid sharing specifics about marital status rather than seeking gender neutrality.

     @matrix Every single person who approved of "Shadow Realm" nonsense in 2001 are to be mocked and given chicken suits.
     
     Approving of 4Kids censorship is why we are trapped in the era of dumbed down media.

     @Tsuki @matrix so maybe the point is that she hates women who "sleep around" for lack of a better phrase? making her sort of a tradwife archetype?

     so she should be complaining about girls in "situationships"?

     @Tsuki @matrix yeah, it seemed like two loooicolizations (derogatory).

     @Tsuki @matrix but I mean in my opinion it kind of deserves to be mutilated. I hate it.
