@dank@jorts.horse I see this happen on Star Trek TNG and it’s actually the actors going off script, the captions are the script as written. I have some Lupin III that’s totally infuriating though, the captions are some extremely flavorless literal translation of the Japanese and then the dub is some totally unrelated rewrite with localized references

@dank@jorts.horse yeah i keep seeing this with english subs of english audio in particular, lazy (probably AI) paraphrasing rather than either the letter OR the spirit of what was said, it sucks ass. BBC have started doing it with live broadcasts too
