to be honest, if I was insinuated to be a spousal abuser, even in the most joking way, I'd be pissed.

I don’t understand being angry that a site wants to go legit eventually. How was Crunchyroll and Fakku going legit bad? Online pirates can be such babies

The admins made it pretty clear that that is an unlikely pipe dream. It’s not like they’re going to go legit anytime soon

I was gonna make an effortpost to try and elaborate on the one good point the scanlators are making, but I don't think it would convince anyone who wasn't already on their side, but basically:


That's not a problem for YOU, the manga reader, but it is a problem for THEM, the amateur translators. It is highly unlikely that any given group uploading content to mangadex would make the cut when/if they go legit, and any group that DOESN'T make the cut gets hosed, they have to find yet another site like batoto/mangadex to upload to. So if they're going to have to do it anyway, why not now, when Mangadex has clearly signaled their intent?

At the end of the day, the people adding the content that mangadex is flourishing with are doing it for free, and Mangadex want to use their free labor to strike it rich, leaving the amateur translators in the ditch.

I hadn’t considered that. I still don’t agree with the (angry) scanlators, because they are also using other people’s works and have Patreons set up, so it seems a little hypocritical. I don’t think that MangaDex will ever reasonably go legit with multiple publishing companies already having legal means to publish, so I think their concerns about that are largely unfounded.

I appreciate your explanation, though.

Setting aside discussions of capital punishment and mass murder, that “if nothing else” is doing a lot of heavy lifting

Comments generally just make me sad because people are awful. Incomprehensible summaries, though, they are delightful

I mean you can sorta make out what the person who wrote the summary meant just fine. Probably the person is currently learning ESL, so all in all, it's fine.

I know, I know: not as funny. Sorry.

The thing is, while the translation of the actual work isn’t super great, it’s a hell of a lot more competent than the summary

If Mangadex would ever revive their comments section there would be more stuff to post. I wish they would do that instead of tinkering with the UI.

Mangadex not currently having a comment section is a public good. There’s no such thing as a good comment section
