Are hentai dialogues really that stupid, or is it the translators' fault?

A little both of both.

for that, blame the /b/tard who shopped it

Translators inserting silly lines on their own is very, very rare. Most of the time, it really is that stupid. Japan thinks that sort of thing is hot.

This. Its suppose to be arousing to fuck a girl literally stupid to where she would say this dumb and degrading thing. It's basically their version of facial abuse/choking videos: you're dick is so good, it completely degrades a woman to nothingness.

If anything, a lot of it is suppose to be vulgar baby-talk, which then gets translated into shit like "mouthpussy" and "baby pee" because that's the closest thing we can fashion them into in English.

To be totally fair, it is people fucking. I don't see any ways to have clever dialog. Porn is doing the same.
>>
I just don't get their fascination with toilets
>>
>>4527352

see in that instance though I think it would be forgivable to be a little more liberal with the translation. There's a world of difference between inserting memes and making it a functional piece of dialogue.

with proper context something like

"Ohhh fuck my ass, I love it in the ass" is pretty much the same as "fuck my ass pussy" which is just dumb.

That's a question of localization, really. Some translators have converted lines like that, but a lot will do a literal translation the whole way through because they're uncomfortable with changing the author's own words. The latter isn't necessarily wrong because many readers have a "keep it the same, but with words I can read" attitude.

To use your example, it's likely that the author has already used "fuck my ass" by itself before throwing "ass pussy" out there. As a translator, would you want to shrug your shoulders and type "ass pussy", or do you change it to just "ass" and lose that "ass pussy" feeling? You can add "I love it in the ass", but then you're adding something the author didn't even write. It's alright if it works, but amateur translators and even readers might not be interested in "localizing" a work like that.

ass has plenty of synonyms though. Yeah butt may sound a bit tamer but it's less retarded by a huge margin. When I see stuff like that doesn't translate well it just takes me out of the experience and honestly I feel like it's more important to keep the reader engaged and keep the intent rather than the words.

Plus the people who focus too much on the words tend to be autistic weabs who probably don't even understand why most of this shit is hot but just praise whatever Japanese fetish is on display because japan

The little sister in this doujin was fucking hot. I found it ridiculous that the younger sibling had to teach her Onii-san about sex though.

Too bad it doesn't have any sequel.

Sometimes the artist writes stupid dialogue literally or some retarded kanji shit that isn't easy translated to english or the translator is retarded makes up bullshit

Japanese and Chinese characters can have like 1000 meanings so its just the translators opinion of what is best
>>
>>4527797
Definitely, as a reader, I want to know what really author wrote. I hate when translators are inserting their own texts or changing whole lines. It's dumb.
>>
>>4527797
>or do you change it to just "ass" and lose that "ass pussy" feeling?
Never, ever, ever - lose that ass pussy feeling.

No being so stupid it hurts is clever enough for hentai dialogue.

I wish there was a type of translation that left out all of this stupid stuff, aside of more literal translations.

It's not about good translations more than it is good storytelling when it comes to translated hentai these days. It's rare to find both in tandem now.

I can understand that amateur translators are not getting paid for the work that they do (aside from those who are commissioned to translate something for someone), but with a little effort, you can produce something worth reading, like this gem I found a few months back. I imagine the writer took some serious inspiration from the artist and his work, trying to deliver an amazing story that would capture both the visual, and the narrative.

The translations these days are too literal, but simplified for those only looking for a quick fap. And that's okay, there's nothing wrong with that.

But when you can come up with a story that's just as alluring, man, that fap becomes gratifying, just as it should be. But hey, that's just me. I enjoy a good read with my fap.

saus?

Yeah, I read raws and the "onii-chan's cock is kissing my womb", "fuck my mouth-pussy", "my hips are moving on their own" etc lines are definitely legit.
>>
>>4528367
Wow, the Oda Non doujin is even flipped from left to right, just like the old school stuff I used to read back in the days. Where did you get this translation?
>>
Like most people said, it's really a bit of both but the best example I can remember offhand is the 'as expected of country grown vegetables', where context pretty much would put 'now look at that country grown vegetable!' or close enough.

The whole 'as expected' making it sound so formal makes everything a whole lotter kekworthy

lol holy. i was thinking of this exact picture when i saw OP's pic.

>because they're uncomfortable with changing the author's own words
Nah, the two main reasons are
-they're not confident enough in their skills
-they're afraid they'll be called memers or joke translators
