If you don’t know what a scanlator is, it’s a portmanteau of scan + translator and is a person or group that scans and translates Manga from Japan.

Online theirs this unspoken rule that scanlators seem to follow of not scanlating if another group is scanlating the Manga.

But the problem is that sometimes you can get stuck with a bad scanlator either from not translating things well or being a horrible human being and inserting that into the translation or just ruining the Manga somehow or some sort of combination of those.

It’s why I’m fine with multiple scanlators especially when theirs a bad scanlator ruining things

    no its piracy and content stealing either way , stop making arbitrary rules, scanlators need to stop shoving their opinion,comments, etc. in the work, im trying to read the authors work I do not want the translaters commentary ever, those mfs are not as funny as you think they are

      I support piracy because of the inherent inequality and inequity of capitalism

      I’m an egalitarian and I beleive everyone deserves to live with equality and equity

        I agree, ppl need to get paid, but its also kinda bs that the rich get infinite entertainment while others get their weekly book if they actually have to pay for it
