I personally didn't enjoy the character of meteion, that doesn't make her poorly translated, it just means I didn't like her.
    Nope, not at all. Kage already addressed this - the story still has problems in spite of the localisation issues. The latter are separate and surplus to them and go back before EW. When you layer on these discrepancies in what is being said to an already controversial story, it simply covers it in yet more fog and can confuse discussion between people familiar with the different spin the localisations are putting on it, and particularly one of the three.

    And once again I must inform you, broski, that what the actual quote is getting at is this: if they continued as they were (= did not change), that is "probably" their vision for how they might end. Key words here: continued as they were. The objection people have with this whole scenario is whether she even gave them enough reason to change, besides vague platitudes about "suffering", since we know she deliberately concealed the truth of the situation, and that is aside from how much sense the Plenty makes as anything but a visual implementation of a caricature of a people, who the story can't quite really decide whether they reached 'perfection' or not - oh look they wear masks and robes and inhabit a pretty garden. How subtle!

    It is also aside from whether that scenario is adequate justification to end them as a people even if it were the case that they would not change.

    The person Rulakir is quoting is analysing it from the character's perspective, so yes, it is framed in terms of her own decision making framework, since that is what she was working with. So it's unclear to me what you thought you were adding by spamming the same garbled interpretation of the Q&A.
