And the results are hilarious.
—Ls was amused by this and thought he’d share.
Here are the first two chapters, put through the same algorithm as the first part if Rambling Band.
You knew I’d do it, didn’t you?
—Ls
No, really. What series of translations did you use? It's more fun if others can replicate your steps. Plus, we can check and see which step brought Xena into it. {= D
~Neshomeh definitely never thought of Jay as a warrior princess before.
The Sunflower Official is now “Executive Sunflower”, the Sub Rosa is now “La Sab Rosa”, Luxury is now “beautiful” (don’t tell her) and Makes-Things is “fertile”.
Some of those I get, but the last one...just...what?!?
—Ls
This just in: according to conspiracy-theory word association "logic," Makes-Things was secretly God all along! {X D
~Neshomeh
The Sunflower’s Witness is setting up a temple to Makes-Things—and he does NOT want to be worshiped.
—Ls has a plotbunny!
Seriously, that console noise. [B.E.E.E.RRPCCCKPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPITT]. It is the funniest. And the “Beautiful Eyes” bit is hilarious.
—Ls, laughing, but also perplexed a bit at the “Context?” that inexplicably appears without any.
I tried to use a languages with non-English scripts, and African languages, because I assumed Google Translate would be less familiar, or more likely to induce punctuation mistakes. (Hence I think I used Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Ewe, etc. a lot.)
—Ls still can’t remember.
Here is a Google Translated Version of An Introduction. The Ironic Overpower is the Great Depression, by the way.
—Ls, who apparently works at the BBC now.
It can be found here.
—Ls, reaching for the neurosurgeon.

This is pretty awesome! I like the concept, and some of those theoretical multiverses sound quite interesting...
They remind me of certain parts of Toyhou.se, the parts parts that frown upon people writing villain characters because that means you support the villain's actions.
It's kinda funny to hear that this behavior originated on Tumblr, and it makes me feel better that it's not just a TH thing lol.

...I was more broadly commenting on how I think the cultural shift means that something like the PPC wouldn't spring from those groups. The holier than thou tone is right on though. I can imagine spitefics that are aggressively unproblematic in order to demonstrate the Real Way to write this stuff as a thing.
I've seen a fair amount of spite art, actually -- Twitter's meme of the month last month was favourite ship dynamics, and some people were definitely passive-aggressively editing each other's ship dynamic art to be more or less wholesome. Plus, there were some people on TikTok who got caught a couple months ago tracing "problematic" ship art into their own, ~more wholesome~ ships.
There were also a couple spitefics, too, on AO3 -- there's some people who will deliberately tag ship-bashing fics with that ship. They usually get flagged, though.
But that's why it's better to not write missions out of anger. Anger fuels spitefics.
...especially when you are neurodivergent and can relate on some level to the characters being written about even though you dislike them, so seeing horrible things happen to them/seeing them being punished for things they did not canonically do is upsetting to the point of being genuinely psychologically triggering, and you just get shouted down when you try to say it makes you uncomfortable.
No, I'm not bitter in the slightest! Whatever gave you that idea? :P
The PPC being founded at a later point in time is a separate exercise than a different multiverse where Tumblr anti-shipping dogma is the baseline of engagement with media. The variant I thought of would be something more along the lines of the Ye Olde-verses, but a couple years in the future. But both are interesting to think about.
As for David Alien, has no one told him that being called "alien" is problematic bc it's othering himself? ;P
That is outright 1984-level control on media, and that is scary.
...that dictionaries would constantly be in flux as words are discovered as having been Bad. ( “You can’t say ‘agent’, that implies that non-agents don’t have free will!” )
—Ls is glad he doesn’t live there.
And the language would be known as Human, until someone gets offended by that.

And I’ll say that the APC doesn’t seem like an actually fun place—but, the ridiculous, over-the-top holier-than-thou attitude can be funny.
—Ls is gonna try to write something APC too.
...and it makes just as little sense.
—Ls, done. Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to other Google Translate texts, please tell me.
running it through I Write Like?
We should do things like this more often.
In fact, I may Google Translate the rest of TOS and/or random stuff.
--Ls is happy someone else liked it.
