They rlly need to stop bitching ffs. Getting pirated comes with the job. I’m sorry that their naivety got in the way of realizing that it’s been happening for ages and that them just guilting other people for the sake of filling their pockets is kind of a shitty thing to do. Twitter ain’t gunna fucking do SHIT.
"filling their pockets" aka trying to earn a living by creating stories and art, which takes skill, time, and effort, like any other work, how dare they
i assume you also work for free?
Damn I meant to dislike this-
I don’t know why but I can’t see the replies anymore so I’m saying it here: if you think it’s something so overly normal and nothing’s wrong with that, than you must not have a problem with her stopping her work because she can’t afford doing it anymore. I mean obviously you don’t care because plagiarism comes with the job am I right
Also the people essentially “snitching” are stupid brainless people that post screenshots where to read it when someone English speaking is asking in the comments of the authors post.
That right here, agreed!
Then don't bitching later if people wont pay you for your hard work alright. Normalizing something that is clearly wrong isn't the way.
At least don't say anything to the author that you are reading illegally and has the audacity to be proud or arrogant in front of the creator.
Agreed!!
wow this kinda twisted, no wonder less and less people are finishing their manhwas cuz of callous shits like you.
No. They also don't either. They get a hell of a lot more money than you probably think. I’ll repeat my damn self over and over til you understand, them missing out on western and some national viewers isn’t changing the fact that they already have a paying fanbase. “Making a living”? They sign contracts with a company ffs, even with mediocre performances, they at least get some kind of minimum wage. So yes, them begging for more money is them guilting people into filling their pockets. This is the same shit as when Youtubers or streamers donation-shame their fans. I don’t get how you don’t see this. If you can’t understand beyond my brief explanation, then it’s not my responsibility to change your stance. Don’t berate my opinion when it clearly has validity that you can’t see. I’ll leave it at that
If you’re going to write something, at least write something worth reading. You literally added nothing to the conversation
As if people like you, who have no problem with being rude fucks are any better to imply or tell me that I need to back off. I’m not the dumb shit who posts the pirated version on social media. I’m tired of justifying the lashing out and guilt-tripping of paying and non-paying fans. If the authors can’t realize for even maybe a minute, that piracy has been happening for literally DECADES then that isn’t my problem. The loyal fans who have the money to throw at their manhwas already do, that doesn’t stop happening. People who have the money to pay for this don’t need to look up pirating manga websites in the first place. Don’t act like they’re (authors) going homeless or some bullshit, because they are very obviously not. I NEVER explicitly said that I think they (Authors) don’t deserve the money they get for their work, nor did I ever state that they shouldn’t be angry. I’m saying they need to stop harassing fans out of their own selfishness and anger. Be fucking angry if you want, don’t direct it to your fanbase. Idgaf if they pay or not or even if the author doesn’t consider them fans. Doesn’t justify a damn tantrum about it over twitter as if it’s actually going to shit (which it never does). Disagree if you want, but make an actual point instead of trying to direct your personal frustrations of the matter onto me.
“Then don’t (be) bitching later if people won’t pay you for your hard work”. But they’re getting paid? Maybe not as much as they could be if piracy didn’t exist, but they make enough to obviously keep creating chapters until they stop because they don’t want to anymore. And Idk where tf you got that I was saying anything to the author? Not worth my time bruh. I’m not being proud or arrogant I’m stating a point that they can’t acknowledge and I’m not going to put myself through google-translating paragraphs of how they’re being immature in to Korean. I don’t consider myself a fan because yes, I don’t pay (very much like you, but whatever). I’m literally only trying to tell people that they aren’t poor poor homeless artists on the street, crying over how terrible their lives are. The authors make a living separate from the portion of viewers who don’t buy it legally. All that them fussing out about the matter will do is paint them to be aggressive assholes. I’m not normalizing something that has been the norm for longer than I’ve been alive. Have you never heard of torrenting???
Just wanted to say that the author said on Twitter (A few hours ago) that she’s tired of people illegally posting her works and that she thinks that her current work/manwha will be probably the last one.
She said : Don’t kill the creator.
... do want you think is the right thing (esp for webtoon creators that upload weekly) with this message
Then I’ll say it more clearly: You translators of webtoon manga that is published weekly. Stop translating those manwhas. At least till one season is finished. I don’t know but I thought you don’t get money for it, so stopping won’t be that much of a hassle. If you dont give people the choice, then they have to wait for the Official English translation to come out.
