Risol's Questions (7)

Like it or not, BL is still niche. Shoujo is just safer and popular and I don’t think that that manga u mentioned is popular enough to warrant an anime.

Yap session ahead.

To my knowledge, the studios don't really choose what to adapt. Most of the time they're just hired to animate. The ones who choose are the producers who often are made out of the publishing company, some rich people sometimes, a streaming service sometimes too, and on occasion people from an animation studio. For example, for a shounen from Shounen JUMP to be adapted, Shounen JUMP itself has to push the anime. They collab with certain people from the industry, decide which studio to hire to animate (if the studio isn't directly involved) and we get either a top-tier animated shounen or a... not so top-tier animated shounen, depending on the studios that were available and the budget they had. But most of the time the publishing company takes the first step because the anime is basically promo. If the anime does well, a lot of fans start buying physical copies of the manga and the publishing company thrives. It's a gamble that sometimes pays off.

I'm assuming a lot of BL and GL publishing companies are very cautious with what they decide to adapt. An average shoujo might still do better than a good BL or GL audience-wise on TV and they need that audience because the more people watch, the more people get exposed, the more people will buy the manga. But we're already seeing a shift, more and more decent BLs are being adapted and I think the change is slow, but noticeable. As long as people watch these BLs legally and buy the manga afterwards, producers will see the demand. It all depends on those people high up who decide which of their titles would benefit from an adaptation. And of course, if a publishing company is small, has little influence, the chances to have the power to push for an adaptation are... well... kinda tiny, unless a rich person sees the potential and decides to invest.

I'm truly grateful to have someone to discuss this with—thank you so much for sharing all that information. Also, Yoake no Uta is quite popular in Japan. If you ever have the time and haven’t read it yet, I genuinely recommend giving it a try! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

I've read a few chapters in the past, but I decided to wait for it to be complete. It's indeed a great BL and it would thrive as an anime.

I looked it up and it seems that its publishing company is "from RED Comics", a subsidiary of ShuCream which primarily focuses on BL and josei, but unfortunately none of their works got any anime adaptations so far, despite ShuCream being over 30 years old, damn. If that's the case, I'm going to assume they're not that interested in anime. But who knows? Maybe they'll change their mind someday.

that's a good news!!! the last chapter was so cliffhanger, I wonder what will happen to the child. Will he be inheriting and be a miko or something else

Thank u sm ヾ(☆▽☆)

no yeah absolutely but i think telling people to die for reading illegally isnt it so thats probs why ppl r mad

I think both sides is not in the right. It is understandable for the author to be mad but the way they were expressing it, is so inappropriate (death threats). At the same time the person shouldn’t have deliberately tagged the author, showing off he was using illegal sites. But he obviously does not deserve death threats. Lose lose situation

I think people misunderstood. The author didn’t explicitly tell anyone to kill themselves, so a lot of people took it the wrong way. I just find it kind of ironic how people are using their social media to get angry at the author, when in reality, the author is the one being wronged.

Even if author told them to kts I don't think they or us as a whole has any right to feel upset lol

um no its definitely fucked up to tell a person to off themselves for reading illegally, especially if they're reading it in a queer-phobic country (also they were 18)

From what i heard, the author told them to "disappear" which basically means to kill themselves

Thats her work being stolen and someone else getting money outta it while she gets none. And on top of that illegal readers have the audacity to get mad at her and call her work trash(the same bitches who read new chapters the minute it comes out btw). Broke bitches be having too much audacity nowadays lol ofc she'd crash out

babes, you are on said illegal website right now, and it looks like you've read hundreds of stories on here... the call is coming from inside the house. its wrong to tell someone to off themselves, point blank. "crashing out" is not an excuse to say things like that to anyone.... its immature and does not offer a solution to the problem.

Nah, the author didn’t explicitly tell readers to kill themselves. They were simply expressing that they wished illegal readers didn’t exist and hoped people would respect their work by reading it legally. A lot of people misunderstood that.

Yeah and I know my place. I'm a broke bitch and have no right to argue with authors when they get mad. I know what I'm doing is wrong unlike yall who think you're entitled to authors respect and their works. Also I'm not such a snowflake that I'll get sad at someone telling me to kms lol. Thats so silly. Just ignore her tweets the same way yall ignore artists and authors hardwork, simple.

Which manhwa did the bl author make?

okay, but admitting fault isn't really doing much of a difference than someone who also reads illegally & doesn't admit fault. saying "I know its wrong, but I do it anyway" doesnt save your case. we all feel "entitled" as long as we continue to read illegally... because we continue to do it. also, its not even the fact that someone told someone to off themselves, we are talking about a professional manhwa author with 1 million followers... come on now. calling someone a snowflake for getting upset at such a comment? really? is that where we're at now?

why are we even arguing about this :'> let this story be buried since no one is completely right about this.

Nah true I need it to get removed from here asap. I dont want this site to be in danger for a story I dont gave a fuck about

Admiting fault, keeping quiet and not interacting with authors is the basic principle of pirating. If we're gonna pirate atleast do it responsibly. (Also personally I do make a difference cause I actually try to pay for the works I read)
We shouldn't feel entitled. That's my point. That's being a jerk. The only people who deserve to feel entitled are the legal readers.
The person who angered author was being a stupid jerk and did it on purpose so yeah fuck around and find out ig lol. I just hope this doesn't become another yd situation

I dont think you know what actually happened. someone posted a screenshot of a panel from the manhwa saying how cute/funny the context of it is, & thats when the author went off on them, not because they were being a "stupid jerk". also, there has been a recent update on the author on twitter, she's been telling people that she'll "stuff them and burn them at thee stake" & how she'll "engage in cyberbullying and argue" w readers. also not to mention to fact that she went off on someone who created fan art of her manhwa bc she didnt like how it looked. we are not talking about someone who's handling this situation with grace or sense, & defending her is actually embarrassing.

you admitting fault isn't saving you from reading illegally, you are not superior to those who dont admit fault, bc at the end of the day you're still consuming illegal content while using illegal websites. you aren't an anomaly "trying to pay" and actually paying for these stories is different, earlier you said you were broke and admitting fault, now you're saying you do pay, so which is it bruh

no, YOU don’t know. Please read what this person commented. https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/19504240/
You can’t compare readers that does it respectfully and those who deliberately upsets the author. Because the person knew exactly what they were doing. Obviously the author overreacted but let’s not forget that the person should also take accountability. And I’m sure you can empathize with the author to an extent, since how would you feel if someone stole your art and also boasting about stealing it. But of course she should’ve handled it much differently.

lets not act like she wouldn't have said the same thing to any other person who posted that screenshot ... I doubt she actually knew aslan prior to their interaction. this specific author has gone through many instances of insulting, berating, and putting down people for little to no reason.. not even for piracy reasons. this is a disgusting behavior pattern from someone who has a much bigger responsibility and role on social media. I empathize with her that her work is stolen, but her barbaric reactions towards readers overshadows all of that. theres a way to handle things with a calm solution in mind, and not telling people they should "disappear" and how she's going to cyberbully and stuff their bodies. its absurd that y'all are defending this nonsensical behavior from someone who has a role to be professional in the public eye

This whole ordeal started because a user shared illegal translation openly on X when that is the first thing that is forbidden in the mangago community. On top of that he goes ahead and argues with the author with his minions instead of quietly deleting the post and keeping quiet. He broke all piracy rules. So yes he was being a stupid jerk and deserved what came his way.
Secondly I'll proudly say I have bought a lot of stories with my little part time jobs when I didn't start clg cause I'm conscious that what I'm doing is wrong and if I enjoyed a story I need to compensate the author. I said I'm broke now cause I started clg and don't have a job, my parents are paying for everything and I dont have any money of my own. Its literally my promise to myself that when I'll finally get a stable job I'll pay for ALL the stories I have read. That is why I have my lists on the first place. Cause I feel guilty and will compensate when I can. So yes I'm 1000% more superior than all of yall, especially the ones with jobs, who are looting the authors but also have the audacity to do it proudly.

if you are in the BL community on X, there's hundreds of BL accounts who post panels and talk about their favorite stories publicly. what Aslan did wasn't something off the rails or unorthodox within the BL community, so no, he wasn't a "stupid jerk" he was just another BL account on X. And again, admitting fault and still engaging in illegal websites doesnt make you superior, in fact, if anything it makes you look far worse than those who are simply ignorant and dont know better. YOU are currently looting the authors by reading illegally, and feeling guilty about it does not suddenly make you innocent. do you genuinely think if you told ANY of these bl authors "im reading illegally, I feel guilty, ill compensate when I get a job" is going to make them give you a pass? its like robbing from someone, and thinking saying sorry will save you from your wrongdoing. lets be serious now. a professional bl author telling people she's going to cyberbully and stuff them is not normal and its humiliating to defend such a thing.

No, BL communities are not supposed to advertise they are reading on illegal websites. They are only supposed to openly post when they are reading from legal apps. THATS FUCKING COMMON SENSE OMFG. Everybody knows that! I've been watching and reading from pirate websites since the early 10s so don't come here teaching me about piracy rules lmao. And yes the whole point of piracy is for the poor and to encourage them to buy stuff when they will make money. That is the founding stone of piracy, to make content accessible to the poor until they have the means to purchase them legally. I'm pretty sure me saying that " since I'm poor now I can't buy your content but I will purchase them when I can later" will make the authors feel atleast a little better than you people who flaunt illegal websites, taunt authors and make them feel helpless and sad. Also pls all that bitch needs to do is deactive his account and 100% of his problems are solved. Cyberbullying my ass. Keep that phone down, go outside and touch grass lol. Its that simple.

But if you're so upset over the "Cyberbullying" go accompany that user along with his other negative iq asslickers and sue the author. Go on since you think its so serious lmao

How am I defending her? I stated THAT her behavior is unacceptable. I’ll be glad if she receives consequences for her actions. BUT people like Aslan also should be held accountable. It’s like you can’t understand that theres a difference between readers posting their work and people who just reads it… like hello?????

ikr. Some people just can’t see OTHER PERSPECTIVES. Not everything is so black and white. Both sides are not in the right, end of discussion.

you do NAWTT own a moral high ground over this situation as much as you want to think you do. and you're blatantly refusing to get that IT WASNT A RANDOM PERSON saying this to just anyone, she's a professional manhwa author with assumed responsibly, especially on social media. she has 1 million followers, and has had a track record for attacking readers who pay legally as well. you're defending someone who's past actions have proved that she's not the most sensible person. and no bruh, its very telling how badly you want to come off more morally superior just because you're pulling the "I know im guilty but im so sowwy" route. I can tell that you have a weird personal grudge against aslan or else you wouldn't get so aggressive and overextend your anger towards their feelings. "at least the authors will feel better if I say ill read illegally and maybe buy their work in the future" oh my god you're painting a whole hypothetical narrative that all authors will forgive you or something so you dont feel guilty. you're doing exactly what you're criticizing others for doing: consuming illegal content due to literally NOT HAVING MONEY TO PAY FOR THE CHAPTERS. stop pretending youre so different, if you keep saying that authors have every right to be upset, you can't say that readers getting told to off themselves can't be upset too, its hypocritical.

oh dear, you talk about how things shouldn't be black or white but dont understand the nuance between how this author has many more followers, a much more prominent role to assume on social media that requires adult responsibility... aka not telling people to k*** themselves. THATS the issue. Ive always agreed that her feelings are valid, what I dont agree with is her behavior towards people who can't afford entertainment that they want to enjoy. even legal readers have said that they're going to stop supporting her, not because she was upset but because she's been extremely unprofessional.

girl you've read almost a thousand stories on this website do you really think im going to believe youre going to compensate every one of those authors for reading illegally? lets not be obtuse

I dont think you're understanding anything I'm saying....its like talking to a fucking donkey. Summarizing my view, I basically said yes we're all pirating which is illegal so we should have some humility and not engage with authors or anger them cause we have no right. The alsan or wtv guy broke pirating rules, advertised illegal websites and argued with the author. So he deserved what came his way. If he had just stfu and acted silently the author wouldn't have crashed out on him like that. Again you're going on and on about the author but here's the thing I am talking about authors and the audacity of illegal readers in general. I dont follow euja or her works so I don't gaf what her past and personality is like.
As for "pretending to be different" mf I AM different cause I have paid for multiple works and will continue to pay in the future so yes I do have a moral high ground. Your delusion isn't changing this fact.

Honestly, i don't think people reading their work illegally really impacts the author that much. Readers don't pay for them cuz they can't so putting all the chapters behind a paywell wouldn't make a difference since people still wouldn't have the money to pay for it.

You're talking about a girl who's gonna be fully employed by 24 who btw has no interest in getting married or having kids. These stories have been with me when I was at my lowest as well as my happiest. I respect them and the authors, so hell yea I'm gonna compensate each and every one of them. If I could do it when I was 17 why wouldn't I be able to do it again as an adult

my patience is running thing with this atp, girl shut your bitch ass up you sound cringey as hell talking about some "yes I am different" nahhhh every author you stole work from (almost 1k!) is NOT going to forgive you despite your dogshit sorry excuse to promises you'll pay them back. also, you not taking account the context of Euja's character online tells me that you're morality runs as deep as a toddler stealing candy. its more nuanced than just "this person stole, the author got mad at them", you're missing the context of the situation entirely. Euja has ONLY attacked illegal English translators and has not addressed the countless Korean illegal websites still up and running. I do completely understand what you're saying, and if you think its like talking to a donkey then trust me girl its far worse talking to you, you wouldn't wanna be in my position LMFAO

girl what.... you giving me context in your situation for me to understand your point of view is doing the opposite of what youre doing for Euja and Aslan's case... "I dont care about Euja's history" "I dont care that Aslan lives in a queer phobic country" then I really donnnttt care about yours.. if you want to listen to your own advice, then hop off this website until you're fully employed, and then write down all the authors names you read illegally from to start paying them back, all 800 of them..

"your delusion of thinking im not different from other illegal readers while being an illegal reader who's read over 800 illegally translated manhwas isn't changing the fact that im different" wholeheartedly, you are fully naive and honestly majority deluded yourself to cope with the guilt of reading illegally. (and you're still probably going to read illegally after this conversation I bet).... dumb as ROCKS

I totally get it! It's rare to connect with straight romance for me, but then again, I don't exactly have a straight background or romance.

Same here! For me, it's oddly liberating to read stories that depict men loving other men to varying extent and situations, whether the love is healthy or destructive, or whether they're teenagers or adults. I say oddly because I know reading this won't destroy heteropatriarchy or homophobia, but at least for me who grew up without any idea of same-sex love or even the possibility to have such desires, discovering BLs was revelatory in a way that through them I learnt men loving men is possible all along. it's like, "oh shit, my desires are real all this time??"

Yes, exactly!

I genuinely just think that queer stories are just… so freeing to me! I don’t know!!!! You could have a hetero story and I’d be so uninterested but if you make them both girls then suddenly I’m listening!1!1! Maybe because I’m a lesbian, but I want to read queer stories so I can relate to them more? Because in most homosexual stories, homophobia simply doesn’t exist, or at least in the stories I read. Its like a different reality where I can be myself, u feel me?

Personally I can't connect with straight romance because even if it's not the author's intention, it still feels like a self insert to me And ion want that for myself?? It's a me problem but I can't help but feel awkward reading them
