a dumbass who translates anime but always self inserts or brings politics into it. Then always acts like they're right when they receive backlash.

A type of resentment for out of area/newbie surfers felt by "natives" of the area. May also be called Native-ism.
I went to go surf a ::insert beach that is not in your area:: but i was threatened and shunned becuase there's such high localism.

locals are people who are VERY generic. they have personality but they stay blended in with most of the crowd. they love things like Riverdale, generic memes from accounts like dory or pms, they love using old Twitter slang like “tea” “wig” “that’s the tea” “shook” “oof”

someone with no personality, unique (but not really) to your area. they all look the same, talk the same, dress the same, and like the same things. they only listen to mainstream music, shop at PINK and hollister, drink gallons of starbucks, and, worst of all, think they're "alternative," "edgy" or "qUirKY" in some way. the word is often used by twitter stans to describe people outside of stan culture. see also: basic, normie, thot
lia: dude, jenny is so hot
may: no way she's such a local
stan: SiS MY WIG IS GONE sksksksksksskks what a skinny legend !! iconic
stan: fuckiNG TEA !! what a queeN i"M--
local: wtf is sksksksksksks?
local: she's not skinny??
local: why didn't you finish your sentence???

local is a word mainly used on stan twitter to describe someone who says they 'stan' a specific person after a large achievement for that person (e.g when Ariana Grande dropped 'Thank u, next' she gained a lot of so called 'stans', you would call those people locals as they only like her for her huge hit instead of for the rest of her music/personality). It shouldn't be used to describe someone basic or someone who uses specific emojis (;

The act of making a product suitable for a culture foreign to its native region. For example, translating and recasting the voices of characters in an anime to English. This can also include some other modifications, such as changing a play on words or a common idiom native to the original region that wouldn't make sense in a foreign language, or even censorship of certain images and actions like removing a cigar from a character or replacing piles of bones with loaves of bread.
The Japanese and Korean localization of League of Legends excluded Graves' cigar because depictions of smoking would bump the rating of the game to 17+, making it inconsistent with the American version's rating.
The American English localization of the hit new game "Britain's Bikini Battlers" removed the "u" from color, flavor, behavior, harbor, honor, humor, labor, neighbor, rumor, splendor, favor, endeavor, clamor, glamor, valor, vapor... well, you get the picture. Also, they replaced the word "arse" with "ass" and got rid of the joke about Tories running through wheat fields.
