The issue is those people wanting to change Japan on a fundamental level; often politically, culturally, and aspects of their creative works deemed "problematic" by the self-appointed arbiters of acceptable fiction.
If one truly dislikes another culture's values, it's very odd (and stupid) to continue engaging with their media that will be shaped by and filled with their cultural norms and standards.
The Japanese aren't obligated to change for outsiders attempting to subvert their culture just because they claim to "really like Japanese media, but..."
It's not their problem and they should continue to be authentically Japanese regardless of what the rest of the world thinks.

Anyone who genuinely believes these creatures belong anywhere in the Western world (or Japan) should be denaturalized and forced to live in their countries right along with them. Completely incompatible.

The state of the Western entertainment industry is truly beyond parody as a result of being filled to the brim with infiltrators who only view creative outlets as a means to spread their delusional propaganda.

The end (and totally intended) result of importing envious and resentful third-world beings. They hate you, but they want everything your homeland has to offer. Remigration and charging those responsible with treason, now.

These localization practices are the artistic equivalent of taking a beautiful painting and scribbling over it with markers, or spraying graffiti all over a great work of architecture only to claim it makes it "better."
Localization "adapts" a work to make it feel as though it wasn't made in its country of origin rather than providing a faithful translation of said work.
Japanese media should reflect its Japanese quirks, perspective, and values that are a consequence of the creators' background and culture. It should not be altered or censored to fit so-called Western (or "global") sensibilities or filled with goofy humor or agendas not intended by the creators that ultimately boil down to localizer preferences.

Any foreigner celebrating or participating in spreading political discord in Japan should be promptly deported and never allowed reentry. Tolerating this nonsense only affords them a voice in steering the direction of the culture which they do not deserve.

Africans need to remain in Africa. There is nothing of value they can add to Japan or Western society, otherwise their own homelands wouldn't be the way they are. It's not the land, it's the people who inhabit it. Allowing them into your country is effectively inviting a permanent underclass that will always lag behind and weigh society and culture down with incompatible, destructive behaviors. They will always envy and resent their betters no matter what you do for them.

Rather than make assumptions, why not share with the class the "subtle cultural nuance" here that requires an ordinary character name be turned into an STD joke?

That's not what actually happened, though.
The myth of the original Ghost Stories anime being such a colossal failure that ADV was given free rein over the dub persists, when in reality it's just another tale of localizers thinking they're better writers than the JP creator. slashfilm.com/703353/why-eve…
