Those tropes are very accurate.

A stark differences I see between the US and the rest of the world is that many of its infrastructures are nakedly profit-based rather than service-based. In the EU, the healthcare systems have their problems, but their fundamental purpose is to provide health. In the US, the healthcare infrastructure’s main purpose is to generate a profit at any sustainable human cost.

Much of the transportation infrastructure in the EU is meant to help people travel from one place to another. In the US, the point is to make a profit off of providing transportation. Many US states have literally no forms of public transportation between cities hundreds of miles away from each other. Born in Miami? Hope you like it there or have a private vehicle.

Education in the EU is first a system by which to educate EU citizens, whereas the US educational system is primarily a profit-making venture selling educational services.

Not the individual healthcare workers, educators or conductors who care about their jobs and helping people, but the US infrastructures themselves seem completely divorced from the idea of citizen service or social compact as anything but a means by which to siphon and accumulate capital.

That is very close to the English text of both the original Hollow Knight and Silksong.

Opening game description:

"They see your beauty, so frail and fine,

They see your peace, woven of faith and toil,

They forget your heart, bound in slumber and servitude,

When you wake they shall see your truth"

Dialogue

“May you ease your shell within, that your strength renewed can carry you higher.”

“this is the final bell, it shall be rang the last time ever.”

“Scoundrel! Fiend! Who dares wake brave Garmond from his well needed kip?”

“Hold there sister! A great beast stalks this land, swooping and screeching like an ill mannered tyrant!”

The HK games deliberately exist and speak in dramatic and archaic language in a world with knights, citadels, legends and lords.

The main complaint seems to be that it is translated like a wuxia novel, which is incorrectly stated to be against the tone of the game.

Wuxia describes very near exactly the tone of Hollow Knight games: a lone, chivalrous but low-born warrior wandering the land fighting their way through a mythical world of bad guys, following legends and righting wrongs while journeying toward the ultimate prize/destination.

Coupled with zero examples of “bad translations”, I’d take this article with a shaker of salt.
