I think you underestimate how good chatgpt and gemini have gotten understanding context. If you load a whole chapter ocr script into chatgpt, you’ll get a translation that’s far better than you’ve described. A lot has happened with MTL and AI/LLMs the past couple of years.
No one going to do something like to trace down a group of scanlators, specifically because they need people to think it's "untraceable".
You're aware that many cryptocurrencies record every single transaction in what amounts to a public ledger, right? Cryptocurrency may, in and of itself, be anonymous, but it's certainly not untraceable.
There are people who spend impossible amounts of time doing all kinds of dumb shit for grins, and I wouldn't put it past someone to do this. And I wouldn't put it past a law enforcement agency somewhere deciding to sink their teeth into this because some agent gets a hard-on for chasing it. Not saying either is likely, but certainly not outside the realm of possibility - stranger things have happened. (See Clifford Stoll's The Cuckoo's Egg for a prime example.)
mate, US law enforcement knows russian scammers using crypto by their full names the reasons they could not do shit though are very different from "oh god they using crypto it's untraceable!"
Never underestimate the capabilities of a group of properly motivated and slightly pissed off technical personnel.
You jumped so hard to clutch on the definition of "underage porn" to give yourself good conscience, that you're just going to ignore that I'm purely talking about how it works for the "official" side of things. Copyright holders don't give a shit about your argument or that it's not real humans, they just want to shut down the redistribution of their intellectual property. If there is a law that they can interpret in some way + some connections with law enforcement, they will use it.Talk about a stretch, not even Mister Fatastic can stretch that far.
"Underage porn"
Don't be ridiculous, it have anything to do with the DMCA, the target aren't these niche hentai but the regular titles, 100% of removals were not hentai related.
Good job completely missing the point and pulling assumptions out of your ass
People who dislike loli, shota and so on just can't help but get triggered by it, if they really cared about children they would go help real children, but that takes actual work and effort, it's just easier to whine about hentai and pat themselves in the back for being morally superior
ok, In russia it is. by law. period. have images of lolis doing questionable thing - hoarder of CP, get to prison!Talk about a stretch, not even Mister Fatastic can stretch that far.
"Underage porn"
To be fair russia has a lot of stupid and absurd laws lol
I honestly have my doubts about US laws changing, many tried making it illegal one way or another but failed for basically due to freedom of speech and expression
I do not think is your business what MD admins allow or not, they are aware and give you the option to hide hentai and you complain anyway because in the end you want a ban for everyone because you have a grudge against a certain subgenre. DMCA is just an excuse. If you have issues in your country then enable the optiona and you are fine. Russia or whatever is not the whole world and in majority of the countries drawings do not have human rights, is a trivial thing.
Yuuuup, I understand disliking the genre, honestly, it's perfectly understandable and I can't argue on that, but avoiding it isn't enough, they want it gone out of principle.
