Did the original uploader ask the original authors? Did they? Or did they not? We’re reading webtoons, mangas, manhuas ILLEGALLY and without the permission from the original author. Don’t the authors have feelings and emotions? Don’t they get upset when scan teams steal their fruits of hard work and effort and upload them here illegally? I’m not saying that there aren’t people who can’t buy them but let’s not pretend that we care about stealing projects or asking permission while we’re literally reading these content illegally
Why bring the author in this when this is clearly a site for illegal translations? This drama is between uploaders?
You should try working in a scanlation group, seriously. Maybe it'll open up your eyes.
Plus, there's a limit how on scummy a person can be, just because you're one doesn't mean others have to stoop to your level. and ur fragile ego really shows when you try to justify yourself in several comments. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ sad
My ego isn’t fragile enough to feel the need pretend to be the hero in this situation. The original uploader is no different from Didi
If you’re not scummy, stop pretending to care about stealing on a illegal site while reading stolen work
Just like how the OG uploaded a should've asked the author? Literally what Didi did was no different from what the OG translators did. All in all niether had permission to translate and upload therefore it doesn't matter who uploaded cuz the author never gave permission to either. I honestly cant believed people bullied Didi for her good deed. Literally look at the times of upload. Basically once a month since September.
IGNORE MY COMMENT ABOUT DIDI BEING BULLIED APPARENTLY DIDI SAID SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THIS UPLOADER AND THIS UPLOADER IS LYING! I APOLOGIZE!
Since everyone is speaking on a reader's point of view, let me try to see this in the viewpoint of an uploader.
Didi should've asked the original uploader whether it's alright to post her own translation first because if she did so without notice, and the original uploader was already in the middle of cleaning and translating, all their work would've been for naught. Besides that, asking for permission isn't solely for the reason of ownership, it also would have been a decent act done out of politeness and respect.
If the original uploaders set off their fans on Didi in anger for this, then that is an asshole move irregardless of reason, and if the fans attacked them by their own will, y'all should pray to jeezus and cleanse your souls.
I don't agree with the mindset of 'i don't care whoever uploads as long i get to read.' Uploaders are human, they have feelings. They put their money, time and effort into translating and uploading these chapters, so it's natural for them to crave for validation. Why do you think many of them put their insta accts in the credit page? It's because they want to be appreciated for their efforts. I have scanlation groups I like: hanako, solace, haruparty, pocky empire and so much more. I urge everybody not to think of uploaders as replaceable goods. So many of them have gone off the road due to such toxic mindset. Instead, appreciate your uploaders because without them, you wouldn't be reading shit for free.
And lastly, bullying is an inexcusable piece of dick move, especially to a girl who only harbored good intentions. Bulliers should be ashamed of themselves.
