An interview article in Japan has sparked controversy in which the screenwriter of the popular anime "Bocchi the Rock!" claims to have removed some of the original content as "noise." She also commented that she made efforts to avoid sexual exploitation of characters, suggesting that her ideology was being incorporated into the work. Essentially, this is similar to localizers modifying works to embody their own ideology, and the same problem is occurring in Japan. Last year, a devastating incident occurred in Japan, where a manga author committed suicide in grief after undesirable changes were made to the original work. While it's unclear how the original author feels about this incident, fans of these works expect the original work to be faithfully reproduced, and any inclusion of other intentions would be considered "noise." As a consumer, I hope that greater respect for the original author is emphasized.
