Doing it seriously, or just to scare them, either way the author shouldn't have done that. It's harassment and actually gives the uploader a real reason to fear for their safety. How do they know the author is just lying to scare them?
Besides that, there are people on the internet who would actually take the author seriously (even /if/ she didn't actually mean it), and support her in finding out all that personal info of the uploader. Maybe even take action to "support" author and hurt the uploader. That's f*ing terrifying...
Sure, the uploaders and all of us reading this illegally are all in the wrong (I'll agree with that no problem), but what the author is doing is bad too. Worse, in my opinion, because now they're giving someone anxiety over being physically harmed and/or stalked and harassed.
The author said she'd felt depressed and was thinking of self harm over this issue, and I believed it and felt bad and guilty enough to start reading properly on lezhin, but doesn't she realize she's possibly causing the same feelings to someone else with her actions? That's unacceptable.
A lawsuit over mangago made sense, even if I would hate it because *I enjoy free stuff* but this....This is just the worst decision. I don't even want to support the author by going to lezhin or buying it elsewhere because I just feel like she's a pretty horrible person.
Why would I support someone like this?
So I'm not reading this anywhere anymore, but I'm still here to keep up with the drama. I hope this issue is resolved soon. I don't want mangago to go away, but I hope the author gets a settlement that matches her revenue loss or something. And I hope more for the people threatened by her that they have peace of mind and don't fear what she's done.
