Get the with teeth mug.A translation of some form of media, frequently Japanese videogames, which is heavily edited. Connotation is that the edits detract from the work, are not true to the source material, or are used to push the translator's beliefs or politics.
The most common edit is rewriting the media to make it "safe" for US audiences, which are assumed to be around 8 years old. This can include the removal of adult themes such as racism or murder, removal of difficulty options, removal of "offensive" art such as the female form, et cetera.
Other instances include rewrites instead of translations, often to push an agenda. Examples include inserting memes at random into the dialogue, giving characters "quirky" obsessions or speech impediments, or changing character traits such as sexuality or gender identity.
Specifically used as a derogatory statement. All translations include some form of localization -- changes for the audience. A piece of media is treehoused when these edits are poor quality or go beyond merely conveying the original author's intent and create new content out of whole cloth.
Named after Treehouse, Nintendo's official localization team, which infamously treehoused the localization of Fire Emblem Fates, making it nearly unreadable to anyone familiar with the source material, as well as heavily influencing other localizations during this era, such as Tokyo Mirage Sessions. These actions sparked the Torrential Downpour consumer movement on the internet.

Get the trethowen mug.When someone refuses or fails to finish their beer. Even though he is commonly known as a beta in its pack, it attempts to woo females by holding his shoulders in close together, clinching his fists, and begin to raise his shoulders. This dance is not a very effective mating call.

Get the Tretheway mug.Trethan most likely has brown hair and plays a sport. Mainly baseball, basketball, or track. Trethan is a really sweet guy. He’s charming and funny. He’s always working hard and would do anything for his family and friends. If you know a Trethan, make sure to take care of him because he’s an awesome person.
Trethan is so sweet!
