And regarding the donations, y’all act like she was recieving hundreds of dollars. From what I know from reading off of her tumblr, she only ever received donations from about 2 people and then used those to buy the raws to translate which in the end supported the author. Even Tappytoons knew the manhwa was being translated on tumblr but didn’t do anything about it until the fucker uploaded it here on mangago.
Is it normal though for fan translators to ask for money to pay for the original hard/online copies? I thought fan translating was more of a hobby, and a goodwill gesture to share the work with other people. This is why also when you translate, you link to the sites or titles of the authors original work so that people know how to directly support the author rather than supporting a third party.
For example. If I were to buy an episode from Lezhin, post a translation and then link to the original source. Asking for donations from fellow fans would seem a bit unethical.
What proof do you have that tappytoons knew and didn't do anything. How do you even know TappyToon knew? Did they send a reminder? What did they do to indicate they knew and senn was given "permission" to continue translating the licensed book?
Maybe just her Tumblr was reported to Tappytoon and not mangago? Are you 100% sure Tappytoon didn't care about her translations?
Hello there,
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We started TappyToon to combat piracy and unofficial works which don't support the original artists and creators, but as you can see, it is always an uphill battle.
We have already been in touch with Serenyuu and hope to resolve this situation as soon as possible.
Thank you,
TappyToon
Thats an interesting email you got there. It's almost as if tappytoon DOES care about senn's unofficial work and DOES want it gone. Hmm
oh boy would I love to prove you wrong and show you the email that tappytoon sent me, but unfortunately the end of the email also indicated that I'm not allowed to share the contents of the email (and frankly, I'd like to avoid any further legal situations) which leaves me at the mercy of the comment section here who won't believe me anyways no matter what I say anymore.
but tl;dr, tappytoon did know about my translations MONTHS before my link even started to appear in the comments section here (I would assume probably back in January or February from the way they spoke)
thank you have a nice day/evening (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Whoever started this whole fiasco and posted it here on mangago can go fucking die. How hard was it to just post here in the comments that someone was translating it on tumblr? Bc if you came from senn’s tumblr I’m pretty sure you would’ve known the consequences of posting it here. What, did you want them to stop translating it? To the people who’s also defending the fucker who uploaded it here, you can die and burn in hell with the fucker
