Localization Criticism

[Astrus]

So can you tell us what that residential block is named in JP, FR and DE that makes the EN localization so terrible?

In German the residential blocks are called "Wohnradius 9-14" and "Wohnradius 9-11" make of that information what you will.

When someone is deeply affected by it, it's usually because they're a victim, not just because they watched 9/11 on TV (if it were so, even I would be a victim, since I too watched the tower crumble live). It's baffling how some people pretend to be pitied over being shocked by watching the tragedy unfold, without even being an actual victim. If having seen the terrorist attack live still affects you to this day, 23 years after, without even being a direct victim, it's your problem, and you'll need counsel to cope with that. The rest of the world, in the meanwhile, goes on.

If something like this were enough to warrant making changes, the slippery slope would never end. Do you imagine censoring the siege of Tulliyolal because it might affect the sensibilities of Ukrainians or Palestinians? Because this is where this kind of take goes.

Also, jokes about 9/11 have been prevalent since, at the very least, 10 years ago, either doing black comedy or ridiculing some of the ludicrous conspiracy theories spawned around the incident.

Dismissing the impact seeing such an event happen live can have on people just because they weren't "directly" affected is a shitty take.
I've never set foot on US soil, so far at least, but I watched it happen live on TV. It shook me then, my mother watching with me cried.
Later in the day I found out I lost a friend in the attack, that certainly made matters worse.
That feeling of dread I felt while watching TV back then is going to stay with me, it comes back when my thoughts turn to the event, the loss of a friend still hurts.

With that said, I agree that the naming of that residential block isn't a huge issue.
Until this thread I didn't even make the connection and I have been personally affected by the event in question, even if indirectly, so it's not just me being a stupid foreigner who doesn't care.
If two numbers and a very vague resemblance cause issues you're dealing with full blown PTSD, anyone who has to deal with that has my heartfelt sympathy and I sincerely hope they have the specialist support they need to deal with it. The human brain is scarily good at pattern recognition so I'm not surprised people pick up references where there were none intended but I don't find chewing the localization team out for this particular coincidence is warranted.
