This isn’t any worse than manga misspelling words to show a character has an accent.

So, to provide some context, a couple of years ago, this specific manga got really, really popular on reddit's r/manga subreddit, and a bunch of fan translator groups picked it up. It was released on Twitter one page at a time, and at a certain point the number of translations got so out of hand that people eventually started making parody translations of it. This is one of those parody translations.
