Funimation has continued to spread unfaithful translations and dubs of adored anime as cat girl series Nekopara has become its next target, altering the punchline of a joke to make another irrelevant political jab.

The changed dialogue was in episode six as Nekopara’s cat girls were participating in a competitive match where they had to push each other into the water using only their hindquarters.

Vanilla presented the gullible Coconut with a riddle, though Funimation’s localizers apparently deemed themselves as having superior taste and changed the punchline:

Even Funimation’s subtitled version of the scene contained “hipster” as the answer, which was not part of the original line and completely irrelevant to the scene:

As can be heard through the Japanese dialogue in the above video, the original line actually has Vanilla delivering the answer to the riddle as “oshiriai”, which means “acquaintance” (though she added the respectful “o” to also make it sound like “oshiri”, which means butt) – the joke comes in the form of a play on words, as “ai” can mean “to meet or come together”.

Funimation’s history of altering Japanese dialogue to push a political agenda (or some other inane reason) in the West is long and vast – from altering a joke in Bofuri, to mentioning GamerGate in Prison School, calling erotic light novel fans “horny losers” in Hajimete no Gal, randomly inserting the word “misogynist” into dialogue and other blasphemously underhanded changes.
