Honestly what doesn't make sense is she said she doesn't wanna publish in a country full of thieves. These "thieves" exist cuz the authors work isn't available in their language. So if they publish it officially in that language, making it more accessible than the illegal sites, these "thieves" won't exist anymore.
She legit got suspended for being an asshole on Twitter.
Hm, but it’s available in English officially yet you’re here on this site, reading it. These thieves certainly don’t exist because it’s not officially available. Even if it’s published officially in that language, people will continue to leech off free shit. Why bother pay for something you can find online for free? That’s the problem lol. Country full of thieves = all those thieves who stole her work are from the country ≠ all people from this country are thieves. At least that’s how I saw it. English isn’t their first language either so it makes sense if something gets lost in translation.
I read this comic legally. I come here for comments. It's just that illegal translations won't exist anymore if it is officially translated and many more will be willing to support the author.
Ofc piracy will continue to exist.
She said, if you don't know the language it's being translated in, don't read the work.
For all those people screaming that the author is racist, go to this link and read carefully what she said: https://twitter.com/browniebeanz/status/1393244074413498368/photo/1
So much misinformation have been spread about her probably to justify illegal consumption of her work. People have been harassing her terribly by telling her to condone illegal translations. Of course the author will be upset. If you want to read illegally, do it quietly but its sickening that some people still rub it in her face like its something to be proud of
