Let me give you one final reply on why this is the stance I'm taking.

First off, I'm a guy.

Secondly, if this sounds like activism to you, that is indeed the case. Change could only occur if we reject the current standards. In this case, that would be GF. You need to be vocal, gain supporters to join your cause and be prepared give out valid and convincing reasons in order to start a revolution.

Anyway - I'm not against the Western world getting Pretty Cure dubs, if it wasn't already obvious in my earlier posts. I'm advocating for this franchise to get properly dubbed.

And yes - I do make Pretty Cure fandubs, because it is my way of rejecting GF. That's not exactly relevant to this topic matter though, since we're talking about official releases. But since you wanna tread that terriority..... You guys watch fansubs, which are just as unofficial, so........ pot calling the kettle black much?

So moving on - Toei HAS revoked licenses in the past before. Let's use One Piece as an example, since it's a really notable case. One Piece has been dubbed three times, and like they say, third time's the charm, since Funimation dubbed the series using the standard adaption protocol.

Numerous fans rejected the first two dubs - the lesser known Odex dub, and the more notorious 4Kids dub. Many Precure fans refer to GF as "4Kids style Pretty Cure", which, if we compare how One Piece was handled by 4Kids, proves to be a very accurate description.

The 4Kids dub got canned because fans rejected it - after all, when you delete so many episodes to the point that it actually ruins the plot, then how is it not an issue? Never understimate what fanbases could achieve when they are vocal enough.

While Pretty Cure does not have as much as an international prescence when compared to One Piece, I still believe that if enough people reject GF, then the same thing could happen as well. Feedback matters to dubbing companies - letting them know why GF isn't the way to go is a step towards a brighter future for Eng Precure.

If the current rights are revoked, they could still be redistributed to a different company if anyone else is willing to take a chance.

Look, all I'm doing is pointing out the flaws of GF, albeit harshly. '''And don't forget - you guys can change how this franchise is being marketed. Y'all just need a platform where you could be heard.''' So with that - I think I've said all that needs to be said. You need to shut up, the last time fans boycotted an Amercian version of a Toei owned show was with Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and that made Toei think there was no fan base for Kamen Rider in the West, so if there was to be a boycotte on Glitter Force then Toei will not make anymore dubs of Pretty Cure. Also One Piece is not owned by Toei it is owned by Shonen Jump, so that's will get a dub no matter what.
