 * >Gee its almost like you've created an echochamber where only thoughts you agree with are heard or else you attack the dissenting voice with conjecture that ignores their argument

This is what is having an opinion about something, and nobody has to agree with each other, and nobody can force another person to change their opinion. This is a discussion!


 * >Oh yeah, please let's claim to be a valid source of information when all we do is whine that people hate us.

Oh yeah, please let's show me where we whine. Once we mentioned something about it and instantly it's whining and crying for help or something? Good to know.


 * >While we haven't even updated the CF portions of characters

You're free to do it!


 * >nor have done proper research on why localization even exists.

Something about language localization from Wikipedia: It tells me everything. I didn't know that something that means, for example, "Book of the Blue Blaze" is not culturally adequate for English-speaking people and had to be localized as "Azure Flamed Grimoire"!
 * Language localization differs from translation activity because it involves a comprehensive study of the target culture in order to correctly adapt the product to local needs.
 * The localisation process is most generally related to the cultural adaptation and translation of software, video games and websites, as well as audio/voiceover, video or other multimedia content, and less frequently to any written translation (which may also involve cultural adaptation processes).


 * >And simply just adopt japanese terms because they sound better to "us"

No, we "simply" just "adopted" Japanese terms because this is how Mori called something and we want to stick to this meaning.


 * >Ignoring the fact that changing things to a different term would cause problems with people who come here for a source of information.

I can imagine situation like this: someone is looking for an article about "seithr", types it into the search bar on the Wiki, and sees this term and clicks it. Oh no, it redirected me to "magic element"! Why? Oh! I get it, "magic element" is localized as "seithr", just as the article says at the beginning!

Or maybe different situation? Here you go: someone is reading some article, and "Boundary Line of the Blue" appears. Hm, what's this? Let's click it. Oh! It's so-called "Azure Boundary"!


 * >While at the same time call out people who try and say that what we're doing is wrong

In this situation there's no wrong or good choice. Localization is released officially, translation means exactly what the original says while the localization sometimes doesn't, and it's up to the people to decide which version they prefer. And people decided to go with translations!


 * >Jeez and you wonder why no one comes here?

Prove it. I'm reminding you that edits per day doesn't count in this.


 * >Because the admins are hostile as possible, and so are the mods.

I'm not plural, same with Face Monster.


 * >People can't even say something without being critically judged case and point is here.

People's opinion can be criticized and people can discuss it.


 * >Especially when they have valid points

Good, but people decided much before what they prefer before this topic.


 * >because the administration wants to change something to soothe their ego.

My ego is soothed enough and changes on some internet site, that basically is owned by Wikia, doesn't change anything in me.
