Just gunna throw in my 2 cents about the author since I wasn’t around when it went down. Do authors deserve to be paid for their work? Yes. Are they entitled to get upset when people are pirating? Yes. But is responding with death threats super fucked up? YES. THAT’S UNHINGED
We are WAAAAAAY past the point of no return when it comes to privacy. If you’re a creative type who has put their art out into the world it’s one of those harsh realities that you have to accept because piracy is here to stay. I’m a musician and I would much prefer to have people pirate my music rather than not listen at all due to financial stress. Im not getting paid shit for it even when people do pay for it
The author should be MUCH angrier at the company who employs them, has the money to pay them much more, but refuses to. This manhwa BLEW UP thanks to illegal translations. If you can’t handle your work being pirated in this day and age it might be a bigger sign that you shouldn’t put your art out there. Yes she’s entitled to be upset about this but always expecting readers to be able to afford her work IN THIS ECONOMY with the world literally falling apart is also SUPER classist
