Extra commentary.
What and who is disrespected by any excess* localization (and "localized" censorship) of Japanese content:
- Japanese culture
- the audience's intelligence, ability to learn, and ability to find learning useful and interesting
- the audience's interests
- the source material
- the authors of source material
- the localizers themselves (going out of translation's way to localize and censor is a global corporate humiliation ritual)
What is respected by localization:
- global corporate interests
- global corporate dehumanizing presumptions
- racists who hate Japan
This true point is so simple you could use it in any place discussing the matter. Because it's just that - true.
*for you, non-constructive pedantic nitpickers.
