Agreed.
I understand being upset that ppl are reading your works illegally, but if you think doxxing people is the way to go, then atp it’s fck you.
Ever since I came across their twitter and saw a random girl’s tiktok (not even the translator) pinned on their account, YD did not exist to me. I’m not gonna read their works neither legally nor illegally. She is done.
I support tf out of my favorite mangakas and manhwa creators. Any money I make goes straight to their pockets. I pretty much only come down here when I’m broke.
So YD fcked it for herself, if she thought that sht was gonna get her anywhere.
There has been a lot of stuff that I first pirated and then bought legally.
The one reason I won't isshitty translations and shifty attitude to fans.
Like seriously.
In some countries, sites like ours is how we got into manga/anime at all. There is history here, in how we share around manga, whether they like it or not. If they "go after" one of ours, or stir up a witchunt, screw 'em. Don't buy their crap. Let them become obsolete or do, oh soooo well, in other markets. Or try another job like they threaten to.
We don't have to lick their boots for their work. There are other artists to support. And yes, many of us DO support artists and buy their merch when we can, even if we read here or other places.
I cannot state enough how this artist will never get a cent of my money ever again for this unprofessional nonsense, and I will never tell anyone about thier work. Just let them fail.
