A control freak, maybe. A dungeon master looking for a submissive slave, with correspondence foreplay.
Definitely a name-and-shame case if you can.
Was that category of his adult movies for translation, BDSM? Maybe not that, he just wants to control her into doing translations she doesn't want to do and perhaps at reduced price.
well, he reacts very impulsively as I could see, also when I dealt with him a few months ago. Fortunately, I don't let anybody control me . I have stopped conversation anyway now, not worth it. And I have reported him, not sure if this leads to anything.

... he writes the vid BDSM storylines himself and needs some inspiration. He could just be a social inadequate who gets off on barking stern dom-to-sub orders by Whatsapp while sitting on the toilet with his red leather shorts around his ankles and a box of Kleenex before mummy calls him down for sprouts and tripe.

Definitely a name-and-shame case if you can. If you already have enough info stored on him for that, you can block him on Whatsapp afterwards.

I see now how that "behaving" sounds, but that was not my intention. He simply projected his own behaviour on mine and accusing me of all the things he was actually doing himself, the rudeness, the bad manners etc. Maybe he's just crazy.

yeah, sounds really great! And it wasn't even about BDMS! I remember he sent me a few emails via his Porsche messenger system or whatever that is called. That was before he insisted again on Whatsapp. Weirdo.
At least I have seen that I could do content like that, but then only for a serious client. And only for a really, really good rate.

| The bottom line: | Jun 17, 2020 |
we learn from bad experiences, but we make the right choices next time.
I am sorry this story had no happy ending, and I hope you can have such opportunity with a serious and respectful client soon!
But it is like you say, at least you know you are good at adult content.
So, something positive happened in this "sad" story.

well, I'd be happy with every other decently paid task...I have ongoing work until August or September for one project, and another will begin in July, but jobs have decreased considerably with corona, probably about 70% less than usual. That was another reason why I would have been happy to work on this as it seemed lucrative. Anyway.

Hi all,
I'd be interested about your opinion on translating adult content - would you do it?
[Edited at 2020-06-14 08:55 GMT]
A few years ago, an agency offered me a potential project of adult content. The rate was awesome, and I said yes immediately. Unfortunately their client didn't confirm the project, but I was eager to doing it.

| Adult content? | Feb 22, 2022 |
Last summer I started a Japanese manga project for a company in China. I didn't know much about the content, but as I ventured into the project, the content proved disgusting and sleazy and I dropped out. I wasn't in bondage and hurting people.

My current experience as a freelance translator of Spanish into English is more than enough for me - thank you.
