Fine, I guess I'll be the weird one. Dubs. It's fine. The arguments are that you'll miss important Korean cultural references in the dialogue and the voices don't match the tone. The first one, I'm not Korean. I'd have to look up the cultural references (which most people advocating Subs have to do too). I can look them up after watching dubs so it's not really missing anything. As for the voices sounding out of place, it didn't detract from it for me. Hearing someone gruffly speaking a language I don't understand doesn't sell the scene any better. I found the acting was good enough to override whatever bad dubbing there was.
I will now splinter the online left and form a dubbing-friendly party.
ADHD comrade here, I always tend to get distracted while watching stuff, and I'll take my eyes off the screen quite a lot. With dubs I can still follow by audio, with subs I have to keep backtracking because I realize 30 seconds into my distraction that I'd not understood a single thing.
It's especially bad when I've not had my pharmacorp® productivitypills™
Dubs are definitely just as important an accessibility feature as subs. Thanks for fighting the good fight
Lol I'm the opposite, I need subs for everything (including shows in languages I speak) because my ADHD makes my audio processing absolutely shit, so my brain can read subs seamlessly and even when I'm checking my phone or whatever I still get most of it. With dubs, the audio sync issues make me entirely unable to think about or process anything else.
