What an absolute joke of a response. Genuinely laughable that you typed all of this out, especially the first paragraph. At this point the only reason why I think you can't tell us what made your legal team respond in this way is because you KNOW it makes you all look bad. Other platforms have...

A lot of it is likely just people who just read manga and never bothered with making a forum account. I've had my MD account for at least 5 years (I think) and only just bothered making the forum account yesterday to make my own comments on the controversy myself.

Oh, I've seen the responses in the thread itself. It's just extremely confusing because multiple things are being said that seemingly conflict with each other by people that should be in the know. First it was about legal, then policy, then Xnot chimes in and talks about legal again, how content...

Oh well, I wasn't expecting much anyway. At least a few of you are pretty funny though.

Personally speaking, I'm just sitting in here to see if any mods or staff have literally any idea as to what's going on behind the scenes. The vibe is pretty candid so I figured someone would eventually say something or give a hint, though it doesn't seem like it.

This is a good point. If works are being removed on a case-by-case basis, does that mean that groups are free to continue uploading content that has the same type of content that's apparently in violation until that specific work gets reported? If this is not the case, then please warn users...

Considering that we have 2 different people that have "staff" level positions in this thread saying 2 different things whilst also completely avoiding answering questions that would clear things up, it's pretty clear to me that any statement from mods, staff and admins shouldn't be taken at face...

Okay, can you be clear as to how the decision to remove said works ended up being the final solution? Were there other options suggested before this solution was decided upon?

It's extremely telling that, despite all the moderator/staff responses, we still have no idea who's requesting these removals and what's being planned for when they eventually order for more removals to be done. How much content needs to be deleted off the platform before it's too much? Sure...

Then you block IPs from those jurisdictions from accessing the site. What happens when whatever legal entity that's threatening you decide that ecchi manga featuring highschoolers is suddenly illegal? Why are you bending the knee to these requests when what they're asking to be removed can be...

Wait, so now it isn’t about law and compliance? Just some content policy that wasn’t being actively moderated on for literally YEARS? You can’t expect people to believe this is the reason why you all suddenly had a change of heart.
