Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.

This page is full of general examples, aversions (in a trope that shouldn't have aversions) and cases of fansubbers being "purists"/dumbasses and complaining when something is changed.
It's also filled with the crap that was on Spell My Name With An S before we cleaned up all the misuse.
Im super grateful you see it too! Im glad its not just me!

^^ Fair, I also quit and assumed other people fixed it.
^^Alternatively, if this trope's misuse too much for that, we should bring it to TRS instead.
An awful lot of that sprawling first entry should be moved to Woolseyism or another trope about translation, it doesn't belong on a trope about not translating.
Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.
I've trimmed down the first entry to include only instances of untranslated words, and removed the unnecessarily negatively-charged phrasing.

@Reymma:It belongs NO WHERE. Its all complaining and general examples...unless Im thinking about another entry.

In the anime section there a whole load of examples that not only are general and thus not kosher but reek of "They didnt translate this the way I do REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
