>Square Enix has a hiring system where they filter such translators - "write a BL fan fiction of your favorite Squaresoft character", and monthly tests to translate manga and unlocalized Squaresoft games where they make sure no one got such toxic ideas.
>Nintendo Treehouse started in 1996 as game journalists who couldn't even speak Japanese who'd edit broken english scripts sent from Japan and get credited under... "translators".
>Modern Squaresoft started in 1997 (FF7) as edgelord fansubbers who got a lot wrong and added random profanities and movie quotes - you know, the same shit modern localizers point out in that FF4 fan translation as an example why fans are unprofessional, but THEY are.
