 ### Pregnant Man → Manchild
 
-Let’s start off with our first change, the Manchild incident. In this case, a man has his stomach torn open, has a fetus stuffed inside, and then is stitched back together. In the original Japanese, this is rendered as just that, 妊娠男, which literally means “pregnant man.” The name is also a pun. 妊娠 (“ninshin”) is the Japanese word for pregnancy, and two words can be found within that: “nin” and “shi.” On their own, these words can mean person (人), and death (死) respectively. If you shuffle those two characters around, you get 死人 (“shinin”), the Japanese word for corpse. In other words, the Japanese title is both saying is “pregnant man” and “male corpse.”

-This was entirely missed with the original translation, Pregnant Man. Even if there was no pun, this name doesn't quite work—after all, we’ve had pregnant men officially recognized as such ever since 2002, 6–7 years before the game takes place. The goal this name seeks to accomplish is that it turns this horrifying, grisly murder into a show of absurdity, with the victims being reduced to simply a reductive, silly description—one that would surely humiliate the male victim had they somehow lived. In order to convey this, we came up with two alternatives: “Mpreg,” and “Manchild,” but ultimately, “Manchild” won over as the one that covered the most bases. After all, what @channeler wouldn’t be familiar with that insult? This insult (made up of “man” and “child” representing the two victims) is also quite often used against university students, which is what the male victim was.

No matter what we put, we needed to make sure it conveyed that same tone; a literal description simply wouldn’t cut it.

This word (made up of “man” and “child” representing the two victims) is also quite often used to insult young adults of university age, which is what the male victim was.
