/r/Chinese_Bootleg_Memes
Welcome you, to the Empire of the First Choice! Please review our rules for the sake of a more safe the society.
We are indebted to numerous people for our enjoyment of poorly translated and dubbed material, but our sub especially honors those responsible for the Backstroke of the West: George Lucas and his entire team who made Revenge of the Sith, anonymous Chinese pirates who mistranslated and peddled the dubbed DVD, Jeremy Winterson for publicizing his findings from the streets of China in the summer of 2005, u/TheThirdGathers and his friends for dubbing the Backstroke in such stunningly high quality, and GratefulDeadpool for making it last so long on YouTube—all before Disney sucked the joy out of Star Wars. The wish power are together with these persons.
Salute the great hopeless situations over at /r/TheDubGathers, who have finished their latest projects, The Novelty Desire and The Counterattack Collection.
Mark all NSFW content as NSFW.
Posts must be related to Chinese bootlegs and messed up translations of English-speaking media.
Be civil. Name calling or harassment based on race, sexuality, sex, etc., will get you a ban. Casual racism or repeated irrelevant posts will get you vanquished.
Mods reserve the right to remove any posts for any reason, as well as issue bans for any reason.
This is a sub for all memes relating to the Chinese bootlegs and messed up translations of ALL media. Do not simply downvote a meme because it is not Star Wars-related. While we started off with the Backstroke of the West, we have expanded to include IPs like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Marvel. They are a source for some of the dankest memes in the galaxy.

While some of our favorite movie/TV scripts and memesets come from homemade/artificially crafted recursive translations in the style of Backstroke of the West, we especially honor those found gems that we identify as "Certified Backstrokes": authentically mistranslated and poorly translated bootlegs of English media. Outside of the Backstroke, this list now includes:
STAR WAR GATHERINGS
STAR WAR STORIES
The Clone Wars (Copy War): "The Attack" and "The Sound" - Pts. 1 and 2
STAR ADVENTURES (STAR TREK)
OTHER DANK BOOTLEGS
Game of Thrones: Parts 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9a, 9b, 9c, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Spiderman (2002), and this
There is an ongoing cooperation between our discord and the /r/PrequelMemes discord to create a full bootleg translation of Episode 1. Check our discord for updates.
