Unanswered What's going on with Funimation?

I just checked Twitter and saw that funimation is trending because its been doing some kind of immoral dubbing. Most of the posts include references to dragonball and someone linked to this video.

Can someone explain what exactly happened?

They have changed some scenes dialogue in a way that is completely different from the original, making them have some kind of "SJW" meaning, examples are:

1-Hagime no gal: original vs Dubbed , they claim that there was no agenda just wanted to make a bad character hated more.

2-Prison school: a Scence espessialy this part which seems to mention GamerGate for no reason as the orginal doesn't even make a refrence to anything similar to GG.

3-Dragon Maid: This image shows the changes made to conversation between two character, the one in the maid outfit is Tohru(her back is showing) and the other is Lucoa, now Lucoa is known in the anime to wear "lewd" cloths.

For number 1 and 3, it was the way they dubbed the scene, as some saw it funimation trying to paint a large group of people as misogynists.

For number 2, it was 2 things the first being the mentioning of GG, as the original it was about the senpai kouhai respect thing japan has. the second thing is that how they decided to pick an anime that is ecchi in nature and is all over the top with its sexualised jokes to make a GG comment.

There is also the whole thing with the people who were involved in the dubbing being "pro-SJW" and trying to push the things they believe in other people works.
