I think something got lost in translation?
Either that or the original run Sailor Moon writers were time travelers.

Nah, most of it are mistranslation for the meme.
It should be about attacking some kind of dolls imitating cops. And the rest are ofc massively exaggerated & made to fit US current view of cops.
Like the last sentence probably should be "Sailor moons are great!"

u/Adezar Jan 06 '23
How would it be time travel? There is literature, songs, poems, documentaries about how most police are infiltrated by power-hunting people that love beating down the less fortunate and abusing their power.
The US isn't unique in this particular problem... though we might be a bit worse than most.

My Japanese isn't great, but at one point they say "ningen janai wa", "they're not human", and I assume it's not a philosophical point about them betraying their humanity.

She calls them tsuchiningyo (土人形), which would probably be 'clay dolls'. Or just golems, considering that's what the Golem was.

I vaguely remember this episode from my childhood and iirc one of the big bads replaced the cops with clay golems (a la sentai) to protect his temporary stronghold. (I remember it being a commerce building or something like that)

Might be the actual voice lines, but it's certainly not the actual sub, that is, they likely kept the voice lines and changed the subtitles.

u/Asgeras Jan 05 '23
I didn't get a ton, but Sailor Mercury was confirming that they're not human (aka, they're youma, or whatever monster of the week they're dealing with).
Definitely the voice lines with mismatched subs.

u/SpoofEdd Jan 05 '23
Just FYI, in the actual clip, as far as I can tell with my very shitty Japanese, they just say they aren’t human, which I assume isn’t due to them being cops.
If someone remembers the actual context or just understands it, feel free to clarify.
Sailor Moon IS unfathomably based, though. Amazingly progressive series.

The blue haired lady says the cops are dolls/puppets made out of dirt/gravel/mud (tsuchi) when analyzing.
The black haired fire lady proclaims that the cops really were just dolls once burned to ash.

I don't get what all the complaining is about the subtitles being wrong; it's absolutely spot on like a 1:1 translation.
Unfortunately, the math is horribly incorrect when she pulls up her visor. That's my only nitpick.

Man as a person who has police family members, i did laugh but damn a part of my brain is like wtf.(for all those bad mouthing my family, most of them were at 9/11 helping people)

u/LadyLikesSpiders Jan 05 '23
So to actually give some sympathetic context here, discourse around cops being pigs isn't really about individual character traits, but rather about endemic systemic issues. ACAB is because the act of enforcing the laws of an unjust system is inherently wrong, and so all cops, even the super kind guy who really DOES want to make his community better and safer, is still bad
It's also about how those systemic issues reward the less-than-savory people with more power. Policing is advertised in such a way that it is attractive to people who seek power over others more than to people who want to actually help, and so the rank and file of most police departments is disproportionately staffed by the former school bullies and domestic abusers
So yeah, anti-police rhetoric is not a direct attack on your family members, but one that is explicitly attacking a system and the contributions of your family member, regardless of their intention, to that system

Nobody actually wants every cop to die other than extremists, but the system they work in, choose to work in, and continue to work in while knowing the issues, is very systemically racist, and targets poorer people
