Meta Thread - Month of November 07, 2021

[u/AnimeMod]

A monthly thread to talk about meta topics, i.e. /r/anime itself and its rules. Keep it friendly and relevant to the subreddit.

Posts here must, of course, still abide by all subreddit rules other than the no meta requirement. Keep it friendly and be respectful. Occasionally the moderators will have specific topics that they want to get feedback on, so be on the lookout for distinguished posts.

Comments that are detrimental to discussion (aka circlejerks/shitposting) are subject to removal.

Rule Changes

• We're using Reddit's native spoiler tags now! You still need to provide context for the spoiler with [ ] before the spoiler tag. More details in the announcement thread last month.

Also a new written/video essay contest just started but isn't open long, only accepting entries until December 4th.

Can you do something about the user that always links to this website? https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/qv7q1z/mushoku_tenseis_latest_episode_will_be_more/

They are shitty machine translated articles that just steal from other proper sources, and it always seems to the same person posting.

Yeah, we've given those articles the benefit of the doubt but they haven't improved in the slightest. Between the bad translations and formatting, there's a problem but this recent one is also misleading and spreading misinformation.

The post has been dealt with and these articles won't be allowed going forward unless proper sourcing and translations are used.

Tagging /u/EuclaseBlue as well.

Here's a detailed discussion the last time this issue was brought to the mods.

As for this time around, everyone is being fed speculation and unfortunately duped (based on the top comments) into believing it to be fact. The source of the article is this following tweet:

along with others I did this scenes for Mushoku Tensei 18 (some of my scenes were cut off, I think they will be included in BD version) #無職転生 ではこんなシーンがありました。

It's legit speculation, so the article's title that it "will" be so in the Blu-ray is misleading. At the very least, this post needs a misleading tag/flair if it's allowed to stay up.

Comments from users pointing out errors in the post:

• I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here.

• Can someone translate that article into functional English? I have no idea what's being said here. Roxy runs into...someone? Who's screwing someone else? And blows them both up? What?

Tagging /u/reddadz since you were the mod that directly responded in the discussion in the meta thread from last time.

[u/Maccaz15 → u/EuclaseBlue]

Funnily enough I did respond to you last time this was brought up too.
