Seven Seas is a manga translator and publisher which has a plethora of ecchi and yuri/yaoi mangas that may or may not have woke things.
It's because of them that the official translation get a bad rap.
Anywho, I still get a bit skeptical and disappointed whenever I see a series on nyaa.si is from Seven Seas entertainment. I've seen some of their works enough that they may be potentially woke. I mean there was once a throwaway woke line in a manga about some magical girl but it's not noteworthy as it doesn't change an entire narrative and better, it is at the part where it just goes flat after. It still doesn't excuse the wokeness of it all.
You, know what? Fuck the term "woke." No more buzzwords.
I detest Seven Seas method of translating and localizing various mangas that I find interesting because I am convinced of the reputation they've brought upon themselves by translating manga and light novels while using terms that implies an entirely different idea in the United States. If I hadn't been exposed to the many faults and insanities of the socially progressive crowds to see what it means, I would've chalked it up to just meh and I prolly would've scoffed at the ones who are mad at it. Now I am the one who is mad at it.
What a world, huh?
There is this discord of based anime fans and I once asked if I should worry about the translations of certain series that prolly would have a different implication. They said to read again and compare so i did and I found that some are similar while others denote the same idea with very different language.
That being said, I don't buy my manga. I can't afford them and they are not available anyway but it costs data and storage space and I want it to be bang for my data and storage.
TL;DR: Seven Seas is not a great publisher and translator of manga that gives the official translations a bad rap. I am very skeptical of their other works after being let down due to the inclusion of language that would imply something else when viewed with a very anti-liberal mindset. I pirate the stuff but I still feel unsure if it is worth checking out.
