Nothing shows off how little respect certain otaku have for the artists they claim to love then when they call us arrogant for criticising the unethical practices and low quality work being put into spreading work overseas.
I would rather niche works remain stranded than that.
Alright I love making spread sheets and analyzing data I decided to log every single shoujosei manga added to this website (I’m curious). Mind you, there will be errors and I’m uncertain of AI usage for some of the series but they have 145 shoujosei manga and only 7 are licensed
Whoever is saying it’s not AI, I’ll have to hold your hand and look into your eyes when I say this: unless they started getting ready for this years in advance, it is impossible to hold a library this large, this fast, by relying on humans alone. Loc work is demanding.
Since this is getting big I should clarify, as I jumped the gun a bit: It only appears to be *most* of the new translations. There are human translators on some of these who deserve credit for their work.
"all translation done by professionals" but there are credits simply listing companies/services for lettering & translation with no proof/guarantee that it was either A) not done with AI/AI-assistance and/or B) fed into an LLM for data afterwards .......
I wanted to be excited about Manga Million but I’m not supporting AI translations even if they do have shoujo and josei manga 💔 if I wanted that, I could have done it myself this entire time
Stop it folks. Stop defending this. You are defending paywalling MARKETING MATERIAL INTENT ON SELLING YOU A PRODUCT.
They are making you pay for with fomo for 6 hours.
Stop it. This shit shouldn’t be defended.
this is the guy who was complaining about animation studios changing enjin's tattoos btw.
and said that you should go hungry to buy manga and not pirate it.
i am not surprised
GTA 6 has broken people.
People are genuinely excited to PAY to watch an ADVERTISEMENT.
It's the most cattle-like consoomer behaviour I've ever seen from anything in my life.
It's really hard to be excited fot GTA VI with all the stink surrounding it now. We've got:
- Union busting layoffs
- Normalising no physical ownership
- 80 dollar price tag
- Gated content behind a premium edition
- Pay-walled gameplay event
Real Talk,
So much of the marketing surrounding GTA VI thus far, just feels grody to me. Big “We know y’all will buy this regardless”.
I know most people won’t care, but that’s kind of the point I’m trying to make here.
In case you don't know, Miku Beam and fujo miku were created by a black man. If you think micro-aggressing and being racist to black artists is acceptable I truly do not like you.
