I've provided actual specific points about why I do what I do and my position is largely unassailable because of that.
All you've done is speak in broad generalizations about societal behavior as a whole and tried to conflate it with my preference in an area of life that ultimately doesn't even matter.
Bad dubs aren't going to make the soap opera tier and childish writing prevalent in most Anime any worse than it already is. There is literally nothing subtitles can offer me as an incentive unless there is very specific manipulation going on to a specific piece of work that may be egregious
I refuse to accept responsibility for the rest of societies failures. You can crucify me for preferring dubs, but it will only make me into a digital Jesus in the long run.
People shit on subs all the time, you just refuse to accept legitimate criticisms of why they are not always ideal.
I have never, and will never defend dubs or the state of the dubbing industry. Dubbing died after the OVA craze when they stopped trying to find people with actual good voices.
Nobody has ever won this argument with me because they don't understand it's not about superior quality (and there are plenty of shitty Japanese VAs anyway) it's about convenience.
There are some anime I will never watch dubbed because I was not exposed to them dubbed and I know the script well enough from sheer memory I don't even need the subtitles. But that's not the point.
Modern anime is trash and it's not worth the effort of weebing out over subtitles when you are consuming trash with no artistic merit or goal other than to extract money from you.
what work? I put on something in english and glance at it when something interesting happens, having full context of what happened before because I didn't have to read a million subtitles.
I was watching Anime before it was mainstream. I paid ridiculous amounts of money to own a VHS cassette with 2 episodes on it, I read the subtitles, I had to hunt down new video store locations just to see if they carried something the others did not.
I put in my fucking time, I am too old and too tired to read a bunch of fucking words and listen to a bunch of people scream every other line, or pray nobody walks in at a point where some female is mildly upset but sounds like she is being fucking raped.
If I'm gonna put up with cringe, it's gonna be in my native language so I can at least multitask other things on another screen.
