lots of strawman arguments in the comments lol. trying to stay completely neutral bc i buy...

Imagine saying "this author writes about murder mysteries, yet gets upset that I murdered their relative. Interesting". It's the mentality of children, and I don't understand when this became a not-insane way to think

didnt she also say smth along the lines of wanting to stuff the illegal readers and burning them at the stake...

i think she's within her rights to say that? i really don't care about that tweet sorry

idk u were lwk trying to show that she didn't mean to say kys to the illegal readers except she has said she wants to kill them herself. well idc about this manhwa I js thought it was a lil funny

a hyperbolic expression is not the same as encouraging suicide

Period

u don’t sound neutral

also she clarified what she meant by disappear through another tweet

she meant that if illegal readers stop doing what they’re doing they’re essentially disappearing

how tf does that make sense? who would understand it like that in the first place? do u say u wanting serial kills to disappear means you want them to stop killing or not exist? the latter right?

she really let emotions get the best of her on a public platform

also can you really blame everything on readers for her living situation? what about her employers who apparently don’t pay her enough? i bet the top dogs are rolling in money and leaving artists starving

i can barely understand what you're saying

don't think i ever "blamed everything on illegal readers for euja's living situation". but at the end of the day illegal readers are still committing piracy lol. euja's successful. i think she can get by. but she's the exception not the rule. it's a fact that many authors have to quit bc their lifestyle is not sustainable directly due to piracy.

lz, bt, etc charging too much to read chs is a completely different conversation. if you want to start it, sure, but don't act like illegal readers are completely faultless.

when did i mention anything about charging too much? that is not the point it’s what the employers are paying their artists. how much money do u think the people at the top are keeping for themselves while leaving scraps for artists?

illegal readers aren't leaving scraps at all LMAOOOOO

this is just a false binary. publishers underpay creators and readers steal content. but don't use the former to detract the impact of the latter.

i said the people at the top like of the company not illegal readers omfg can you read ??

that went completely over your head. which is hilariously ironic since you're trying to drag me for not having the inability to read. maybe if you wrote more coherently i'd understand you.

yk what i hope you at least understand this

piracy will thrive, and euja did nothing

so you WERE trying to shift the blame completely to the publishers. got it

if you don't want to support euja bc you don't like her, then don't. but fuck, aren't you ashamed of defending piracy to this degree? what about nonproblematic authors? authors who work 3 jobs bc people care more about the content and not the content creator? no one will stop you from pirating, but when you do, you lose the right to feel disappointed about weekly breaks, sudden hiatuses, and complete cancelations.

you feel guilty so you delude yourself into thinking that these publishing corporations are the ONLY issue. they're not. i said before that both exploitation and piracy is bad. you put so much emphasis on saying these publishers are underpaying your favorite authors, but doesn't that make your actions even worse? incredibly tone deaf. have fun pirating i guess
