Mangadex to purge titles for legal reasons

[ikevinz77]

this site has never been the same since harambe
finished importing all my list t'has been a good run

There are several jurisdictions that consider ficional depictions of underage characters in sexual acts to be illegal.

Man you cuck, that's like the whole site, are you going to remove 90% of content here?

 

[BestBoy]

series in question

If you're talking about Stray Cat, I can't speak to whether the tags were incorrect (loli has such a nebulous definition), but based on the story, the character is 17 (technically not an adult) through like 25ish chapters.

Trying to be Benjamin Hornigold now admin?
Just leave this place lads, its not worth the time
Pack it up

I look forward to your site shutting down permanently if this is how you intend on treating your userbase.
We're not fucking retarded. Stop treating us like the average UK citizen.

I'm used to moving on when it comes to manga. Mangadex is just one of many that have fallen by the wayside. We will move on from you and your moronic puritan power trip.

Why don't you remove Yuri/Yaoi or any form of sexual violence since there's several jurisdictions that consider them illegal? why not go all the way then if you want to be a Good Samaritan for the law.

There are several jurisdictions that consider ficional depictions of underage characters in sexual acts to be illegal.

So why is manga like Berserk still up?

 

[Xnot]

There are several jurisdictions where homosexuality is illegal, so when are you going to remove all LGBT content?

Platforms will choose to follow laws of jurisdictions in which it is beneficial for them to continue being able to operate on. Are you sure you really need me to explain this to you or are you just arguing in bad faith? Have you ever wondered why youtube or twitter will follow common western laws but don't ban LGBT content? Come on man...

shh because it makes money and it's a tourist hotspot despite the themes, hence you barely hear moralfagging once in a blue moon.

Berserk depict underaged character nekkid on top of Guts.

Horimiya has the main characters (Highschoolers btw) doing the thing.

Last I check they're still up, why is that?

 

[Kanami-chan]

This administration wants to be Fakku/CR so bad but they're nowhere near as competent as them.

"Bad faith" when you have Admins in the staff calling people pedophiles over manga.

Using bad faith as an argument was immediately lost when this happened.

Rather than eating shit that is being served to you, do what Brown Dust 2 did for example and tell Germany to fuck off. Implement zoning and toggles.

Jumping back here because my previous post had a sentence that was poorly worded and came off as too much of a personal attack or moral grandstanding. I also didn't provide enough context on the content being removed, so that's on me.

I've been reading some of the replies, and thank you for voicing your opinions and concerns, whether in this thread or elsewhere. Users want clarification on the removals, so please find it below.

We were made aware of content that goes against our content policy, specifically clause 3.1.1 regarding underage characters in pornographic settings. The content that was removed, and some content still being reviewed, includes entries labelled Mature, with characters that are engaging in sexual intercourse and either:

• They are clearly very young in appearance, and the content does not confirm that they are adults.
• The content itself confirms that they are under the age of 18.

Nothing else is being examined at this time. We're currently exploring options to retain the title entry and other non-infringing metadata, but for now, we need to proceed with the removal.

Seems like my words actually made it way to you, but it still made no difference. ☹️

Well, I tried. You're still wrong, but it's up to you guys to keep that position of yours.

My bad then. I was pretty sure someone had said earlier that the character in question was 18, but it was only that they could be 17 or 18.

Though not illegal regardless, at least not in the US, and by far not the most offensive content on the site.

"Several" aka famous muslim country UK and Cuckstraulia

Let's not get too xenophobic, the mods are probably watching, you know
but does that really matter

This is not going to end well, I'm telling you, the event that's gonna unfold is people mass exodus from this site, along with subscription cancellations. Betray your fans, and the trust is lost forever.

Yes please, or you can't do that? Clear explanation is the one thing you haven't provided. If you can't do that, at least demote that EtherealNeko for personal attack calling users pedophiles.

In your own words, come on man...

There are several jurisdictions that consider ficional depictions of underage characters in sexual acts to be illegal.

Do those jurisdictions not consider piracy/copyright infringement to be illegal?

Oh! So you admit that you are CHOOSING to censor things.

You could just... not cater to those jurisdictions, just like how you don't cater to the Muslim countries that ban homosexuality.

So you blatantly lied when you claimed that you have no choice, you blatantly lied when you claimed that censoring is the only way for MangaDex to continue to exist.

There are other ways for MangaDex to continue to exist, you are simply not choosing those ways.
