ye i get ur point but liek- let's first establish that stealing ANYTHING is bad. the recent chapters posted were stolen from,, not rlly a group but a duo from ig. they don't put their translations anywhere (nope, not even on mangadex) but on a google drive bc there's an existing official scanlation team working on this alrdy. and it IS illegal but perhaps we could respect the translators' wishes to keep it within the group that follows them and NOT steal the translation and post it on an illegal site. they could've kept it all to themselves but didn't. and now they've closed access to it bc of this.
p.s. since the translations were stolen and whoever posted this even changed a few words as to not make the stealing obvi, the translators did NOT get recognition at all w even their info omitted from the pages.
I have no idea what the hell was happening w the “stolen translation” beef, but all translations r stolen from every scan group and put literally on every illegal manga website. As long as those scan groups put their info w the chapter, they still get recognition for the work... plus this is all illegal anyways..? Y’all act like copyright is on ur side—
