This isn't the first time Yanineko "Chainsmoker Cat" was attacked. Back in 2023, there was a lot of online and targeted harassment against Nyannyan Factory, the creator of the story.
The harassment got so bad, including an attempt to "cancel" the manga, that Kodansha had to release a statement about it, WITH threats of legal action against the most malicious.
Some of the Japanese manga readers were so grossed out due to the visceral, raw, unromanticized addiction spiral + heavy grossout humor + zero pandering... that they engaged in that harassment campaign. This was mixed in with professional jealousy from other rival manga authors who felt it was disgusting that a manga like Yanineko became popular while "their" more "cultured" creation did not.
It's niche, it's weird, it's gross, and you don't have to like it, but it 100% has the right to exist.
And seriously... stop with the harassment campaign against it. It's just another rerun of the same BS from 2023 now in 2026.
@shinymeeki I don't know if I'm an empath or not, but what I do know is when somebody tells me what they need for their own mental health, I fucking listen.
Your mother-in-law is a selfish crybully. But I'm guessing you already figured that out.

What's going on here? Are they about to change the logo? Is this an old logo? Did they use AI to create this ad? 🤨 This kinda hurts my brain a little.

One of the amusing things about the Left is how historically illiterate they are. These people don’t know about anything before World War II.
Robin Hood, of course, was Robin of Loxley — an English nobleman loyal to King Richard the Lionheart who was dispossessed of his estate for it by Prince John while Richard was fighting for the Christians in the Crusades.
Robin and his merry men robbed Prince John’s political circles, repossessing riches pilfered by them through the illegal harsh taxation of the peasantry.
He was no communist hippie. He was loyal to his king and simply meted out justice to the corrupt on behalf of the king’s subjects.
Australia's eSafety Commissioner just asked a royal commission for the power to order platforms to protect certain accounts and suspend everyone who piles on against them. She wants it to work across every platform. "Ratioing" someone could become a bannable offense.

Sony has crossed all the lines with this: PlayStation will close your account and you will lose all your games if you do not log in for 3 years, and the media remain silent about it; the media are not your friends.
