I hate localizers
It's in line with the rest of her dialogue so I'm not seeing what the problem is

"Butchering a character's personality and characterisation into a quirkychungus zoomer who says skibidi 67 no cap fanum tax is actually a good translation"

Current Events - Localisation discourse over Daitaku Helios, newly added into the Global version.
"Discourse" over this is really funny because this is one of the few times where I think the English translation being full of zoomer slang and meme references actually makes sense; because isn't that the closest analog to the gyaru slang she uses in the original JP?

Whenever people defend localization, they basically go , "ermmm Japanese is a highly contextual language that you cannot comprehend unless you study Murasaki Shikibu's entire literature and derivatives. Even then, its nouns require three translators because they change depending on the phase of the moon." To defend a character's gyaru rendering and butcher her characterisation to a quirkychungus zoomer who says, "Highkey sussy rizz, 'kay?" Bet, no cap... Skibidi?" As if valley girls don't exist and couldn't have borrowed from their slang and syntax.
"Toreppi," "ojou," the "cchi" suffix, and "paisen" are the Japanese equivalent of Jabberwocky and are thus difficult for English audiences to understand. Therefore, translating them as "BB Flo," "Rubae," "Palmz," "Memmy B," or "Ogurizz" is better.
