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
On Twitter, there was a BL manhwa author who expressed their displeasure because people were reading their work illegally. But then, many of the comments were people getting angry back at them, and? I’m confused — I think the author has every right to be upset.
I also can’t always afford to read things legally, but I still don’t think I have the right to get mad at the authors. They work hard for what they create.
