Something that gets overlooked a lot with this is that the original version is literally FILLED with memes. Hoyoverse's roots are in internet culture and anime fandom. So it only makes sense to translate internet speak with internet speak.
Can hoyoverse please stop doing this? It sucks how much of a great example HSR is when it comes to how awful localization brainrot is. Because translators are quite capable at translating complex long winded dialogues.
But they feel need to insert this shit and awful at it.
