Seriously...?

How long has these homophobic, racist, and transphobic messages been up? Everyone, continue reporting this manga until mangago respond.

It’s extremely distasteful considering what’s going on in the US. Dark humor is funny and poking fun of situations can help people overcome emotional difficulties. But the thing is: you kinda need to be funny for the joke to be considered a joke. Shocking, I know. But the translator and the “jokes” they’re making has as much charisma as a soggy piece of toast. There’s nothing funny in blatantly making a comment like “Trans have no rights.” There’s no punchline, build up, or visual cues. Nothing. It’s simply a stance the translator is announcing to everyone. And covering the translator’s ass by saying “it’s just a joke bro” or “the manga isn’t that deep to begin with” make you look like a clown. It’s like that one sus friend in a group who says something fucked up, hoping the squad would agree but when they notice that no one is laughing they have to go “it’s just a joke bro!” To protect themselves from being called out. So put away the clown nose and pick up the crown you left behind.

I checked out the translator’s twitter (someone posted the twitter name in the comments) and the translator is exactly what he presented: racist, homophobic, and transphobic. So where’s the joke when he means everything they say?

Sigh... just because you’re entitled to an opinion doesn’t mean you’re immune to criticism. Freedom of speech isn’t freedom from repercussions. Yes, the manga is satirical in nature but it’s obvious that the manga writer is against Donald Trump seeing how the mayor character is a corrupt politician with a shitty son who ultimately die in a fire. If you can’t see it and think that the George Floyd “meme” was funny, then kids movies that use shit and fart jokes have a better sense of humor than you (the translator).

    Hope people don't go as far as doxxing as a legitimate form of criticism ( ̄へ ̄)
