"Nice self-report", what are you even talking about, man?
So because I take enjoyment in playing games with violence in them means I'm a repressed murderer?
Get a grip on reality and touch a little grass.

Didnt Mangadex get bought out by some dogshit western comic site a few years ago?
Mangadex was on the decline after it took so long to come back when they got hacked.
Once they removed like 6000 titles when they got bought out I fucking knew they were cooked.

Man, you staff are all fucking retarded and will eventually end up running MD to the ground, how can you do this to us when drawings aren't fucking illegal? Specially if it's not depicting a real life person, it's a fucking drawing son go put on some glasses and take that stick off your ass.

They're in the UK. Pretty much everything is illegal there except for sexual assault committed by unidentified groups of unspecified origins.

Lmao new admins from 2 years ago is crazy, these freaks always take power and theres nobody to stop them, theyre definitely a plant from when mangadex removed thousands of titles.

they already ran it into the ground when they removed thosuands of titles a year or two back. You cant find anything on here anymore.

you are confusing necessity and superfluous move, the 6000 titles thing was a DMCA takedown(actual do or die stuff as website), and the hacking is not just recovering, its a site overhaul

don't confuse the topic, focus

If you're going to start censoring/removing content then why even have a doujinshi/porn upload option anyways? Not only do you have to opt into seeing it, checking recent uploads often features multiple doujins of girls getting raped or worse. And if you're going to say that you're removing content because of "legality" then I'm sure content depicting that would be illegal, never mind any homosexual content in some portions of the world.

You start giving an inch then you'll have to start giving a mile. Pull down all the manwha, Yuri, Yaoi, better aim for some of the standard shonen and stuff too because a gag penis joke or panty flash might make someone uncomfortable.

Oh wait, these are literally drawings and normal people can tell the difference between a drawing and real life, and if you can't then you shouldn't be here anyways.

This and so much more BS that MD has put us through is the reason I'm going back to torrenting manga and reading it manually on my computer instead of a web UI like MD's, because even though it might be a bit inconvenient it at least doesn't run the risk of anyone deleting that shit off of my hard drive at a retard's whims, and I suggest anyone to do the same. SumatraPDF is my go to cascade reader for manga now.

Stop the misinformation. Titles being removed depict sexual activity between characters that are minors, either in appearance (handled on a case-by-case basis) or confirmed in the dialogue. It's about law and compliance with it. If you jerk it off to little kids, go and do it elsewhere; there are sites that specialise in that.

This has nothing to do with the law. Lolis are fully legal and protected by the 1st Amendment:

This is why you never see people being arrested for lolis in America.

In fact, they are legal in most of the world:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_fictional_pornography_depicting_minors

If the MangaDex servers are located in countries where it is legal, then you are not breaking the law, and cannot be held criminally liable.

This has nothing to do with the law, you are cowards who are caving to the credit card processors, even though the credit card processors are evil, which makes you evil.

And then you pretend that you are morally superior to others, even though you are literally a pirate site whose very existence breaks the law.

Since you supposedly care so much about the law, why don't you just shut down the site entirely?

I'm starting to think we should download everything important because of BS like this

Even though there's always a manga site out there, we never know when this will happen again in another site

So the mods are browsing the thread but not actually replying..........what is the master plan here?

Sad, I'll have to move my library somewhere else. Thanks for these past years guys .
I'm sure the drawings are going to thank you

Sumatra pdf is quite limited in functionality, i mostly use yacreader its has library function and more

This. If major changes to MD policy are being applied, then there needs to be some sort of official statement from the admins on this. Otherwise it looks like a rouge mod doing whatever they want.

 

[Pauan]

If it's about the law, the implementation is bad, since it's legal in most countries outside of the puritan america.

It's also fully legal in America, because lolis are protected by the 1st Amendment.

It's only countries like Australia and the UK that ban lolis.

They're either not replying because they're preparing an official statement, which I doubt it, cause it would get more eyes on this topic, or the second option is that they don't give a shit.

Or they no longer have full control over the site following the NamiComi merger.

They're thinking about what to write on their future damage control post
