Two cents

Nataruma July 4, 2021 4:16 am

Unpopular opinion: Why's everyone so obsessed with memes? Personally I think they distract from the story. I also personally hate when translators insert their own jokes into the panels. I'm not here to read what the translator/uploader thinks is funny (9 times out of ten it's just cringe anyway). Just my own personal take on that trend.

    distract form the story? they come at the end. The memes arnt in the pannels tho.

    hmm i agree with the person above. they come at the end so i don’t get how they would distract from the story. i think its nice to have something to look forward to at the end of chapters. even if they come off cringe sometimes they are relatable for the most part.

    Wow, if this is the meme crowd no wonder your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired.

    It's like commentary, which would be fine if it was in the comments, but as part of the upload it's just not necessary.

    To each their own, I just find it a useless addendum.

    I kinda agree. Not all uploaders only put memes in the end, some of them put comments in the webtoon/manga like it's a useful explanation that's related to the story. I don't mind the memes at the end of the chapter, bcs it's funny most of the times, but the ones in the middle of the chapter is just distracting kind of like when someone is peeping and commenting on what you're reading behind you lol

    Theyre giving their own time, effort and sometimes even at their own expense doing this scanlations and sharing it for free. Its their own work so theyre free to add whatever they want with it tbh I think showing their comments from time to time & sharing their jokes is not really a bother compared to uncleaned or badly translated works, so just read and be thankful.

    I have zero issue with a page of notes for example that explains why certain translations didn't work or offer explanations for tougher translations they had to change in the chapter, that can be very useful to explain certain scenes if they don't seem clear. But you seem to be getting where I'm coming from with the commentary inserted in the middle. The memes is just eyeroll central for me lol, but I get why some people enjoy them, I'm just not a fan personally.

    While I appreciate when people share their work with the general public, this does not mean that their practices or presentation are above critique. Groups choose to scanlate and uploaders choose to upload chapters for free of their own volition, I didn't ask them for a personal favour to do this, nor should they expect that all people will automatically enjoy all aspects of their releases/sharing. Sorry if it came across as ungrateful, I'm just expressing a dislike for a trend that seems to be taking over in many manhwa uploads lately, it's kind of a ridiculous amount in some of them too.

    LMAO finally someone says it. It's as cringy as how these horny people in the comment section behave.
