Same. I don't understand why people want (them and their kids) to be isolated from other cultures. If you're watching a movie set in Japan, India or China, have it be about their culture. If there's something you or your kids don't understand, make an effort to learn about it (and the green peas thing seems trivial to understand).
Netflix also does something absurd with their subtitles. I was watching "The Empress" (which is set in the Austro-Hungarian Empire) with German language and English subtitles. I like listening to the real actors' voices, and learning the sounds and cadence of the language. So the characters speak in Italian for a while (subtitles say "[speaking in Italian]", and when they switch back to German the subtitles clarify.. "[in English]". The fuck, Netflix? Surely the viewer of this show understands they didn't speak in English in the Austro-Hungarian empire, so why write it's English? What the hell is Netflix even trying to achieve here? Seems robotic: "us = English speakers, therefore everyone's default must be English"?
