“It’s fictional!1!1!11!1”
•_•) ok and?
"Dont like, don't read"
"Its just fiction, dont take this so seriously"
I get lost sometimes when these are thrown my way. Like.....because I dont like something means I lack the brain to critique it or??? Because its fiction means its invincible for critique??? Like bruh. You got your gushing business over there, I got my own problems. If I didn't shit on your thoughts and opinions, how about dont shit on mine. Agree or disagree, say why, we can have a discussion maybe, and move on. The lack of civil communication on this website is sad.
Negative critics are hardly unfair. However there is a difference between criting a manga and just shitting on it. Saying that a manga is bad simply because of one a two little things is just shifting on it. The best way to tell is that often times people who are just criting the manga will add in compliments saying things like, “the noses weren’t very good but aside from that the art style was very nice” or “not a fan or public sex scenes. However the fact that the relationship is consensual made the scene better for me.”
Also, people are entitled to their own opinion and to express those opinions. Just as you have the right to tell me the things that irk you about some commenters, those commenters have the right to express their thoughts about whatever it is they are reading.
A manga artist who never receives negative critics will never improve is what I believe.
I hope I wasn’t coming off as rude, I’m not trying to be.
The lack of communication is really bad. As well as the amount of toxicity on here. You can say one negative thing and you’ll have someone telling you that you are a stupid fuck or some shit like that.
Also I apologize if all my cussing is making you uncomfortable in any way.
Exactly! Just because it’s fiction doesn’t mean something is morally wrong. You can look at ch*ld p*rn in a manga but it’s still illegal.
when they say that the art sucks and go ham with the insults but they dont give any constructive criticism on how to improve it, basically telling everyone that they themselves arent even an artist so idk why they should be going around and acting like they graduated from a top art college with a stable and successful career in art. theres nothing wrong with saying "the art isnt my taste" but theres definitely an issue if you say shit like "the art is fucking horrible, absolute garbage, thats it."
Agreed. Critic without suggestions or comments on what parts you did enjoy is just shifting on a manga.
Well, it doesn't make you a pedo so I don't really know why complain too much about that. And note: child porn is exclusively with real childs, not the 2D ones
real children**
Actually, "don't like don't read" is for people who love to talk shit about everything they hate. Like I don't really like loli mangas but I don't spend my entire life talking about how much I hate it, I just don't read.
Nope. I’m not sure where you live but I know that at least in the US. Child porn, whether it is depicted as a cartoon or otherwise, is a punishable offense. It is still illegal.

I don’t really know. Loli and shotas are in a really gray area. While they aren’t REAL children they are purposefully drawn to act and look as reflections of kids. I wouldn’t call somebody a pedo just for enjoying those types of stories or characters, but there are lines that we shouldn’t cross and it is good to call them out.
Well, too bad for you guys then. I said it based on this: https://twitter.com/OshinoArarougi/status/1249360861610770434?s=19
That I suppose is sort of a gray area. While I wouldn’t call them a pedo things are slightly different under law. The law doesn’t consider the context of the story, if the content itself appears to have a minor, whether they are truly a minor or not, it is punishable.
Not really, your taste in fiction doesn't means nothing about your morals. Lolis/shotas don't look nothing like real children, they're completely different. As Stephen King is not a serial killer because of his horror stories, Harada isn't a pedo because of nii-chan. If you can see the difference between fiction and reality, then there's nothing to stop you from consuming the most problematic fiction in the world. And if you had the bad luck to being exposed to real child porn, you would see how is totally different from loli/shota mangas, it can easily traumatize someone.
Well any federal site will tell you otherwise. Can we agree to end this dispute and go our separate ways on the matter?
Even when I literally say shit like “haha just my opinion im not hating” people GET MAD. The worst.
??? okay???
People out there who love to review and critic manga! What annoys you the most about criticing/rating manga.
My main one is:
People telling me to fuck off or get really toxic because I am expressing my opinion that doesn’t match theirs.
