    And that's the wrong way of handling things. When a user misbehaves, there is a very public message that they have broken the rules. Admins should be held to an even higher standard than users, because they have far more power than users. They must use that power responsibly. If admins are...

    Nope, it applies everywhere. There's a simple way to stop the neverending war: timeout / ban the person who started it. I will be crystal clear here: this entire situation is 100% MangaDex's fault. MangaDex chose to betray their original founding principles. MangaDex chose to completely...

    Nah, that's not how the Non-Aggression Principle works. People have the right to self-defense. It is the person who initiates the fight who is wrong, the defender is always morally correct. Your logic gives advantages to the attacker, and disadvantages the defender. This leads to more attacks...

    It's a good thing that there are several organizations in America dedicated to protecting free speech (such as the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund) which will pay for legal fees even if you cannot afford it.

    And yet, after such a blatant breach of professionalism, putting the entire MangaDex staff under fire... EtherealNeko doesn't even get a slap on the wrist? No punishment at all? No demotions? Nothing? When a Japanese CEO messes up, they resign. This is standard practice, and should be standard...

    "It's not for you, if you don't like it, don't buy it! Go away!" "Wait, hold on, where did everybody go?! Why are we going bankrupt?!" What a bold strategy that has never been done before, let's see how it works out.

    Under every single interpretation of Sharia law, homosexuality is illegal, including transgenderism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_by_country_or_territory So I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to defend Muslims and Sharia law. Why do you think they're your allies?

    They deserve to get shit talked, after their completely 100% unacceptable behavior. We do not deserve to get shit talked, since we did not do anything wrong. MangaDex is about to find out that they need us, but we don't need them.

    The UK actually has convicted several people for anime images, such as Robul Hoque. Although I strongly disagree with the UK's law, it is their law, and they do enforce it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coroners_and_Justice_Act_2009 MangaDex made a very serious mistake by choosing to be...

    No, it's only illegal in a tiny handful of countries (mostly Anglo countries), it's legal in most of the world. Homosexuality is illegal in more countries than lolis are. Yet this site allows for LGBT content.

    He's referring to Trump's executive order: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/08/guaranteeing-fair-banking-for-all-americans/ But I agree with you that I also suspect the payment processors.

    And yet Visa and MasterCard are still doing the restrictions anyways, and the restrictions are still in their rules: Section 1.3.3.4 https://usa.visa.com/content/dam/VCOM/download/about-visa/visa-rules-public.pdf Section 5.12.7...

    Since we are all such upstanding citizens who care so much about the law, I suggest we should make reports to the UK police about the scandalous illicit activity on this site. And because we are very morally righteous, we should make the police's job easier by providing them with the MangaDex...

    Enjoy losing everything, because you chose to cater to evil anti-freedom totalitarian countries, and betrayed all of your users, and betrayed all of your founding principles, and chose to lie and gaslight your users, and chose to insult your users when they correctly pointed out your blatant...

    Yes, it's very unfortunate. And it's strange that MangaDex would try to cater to "Western laws" in the first place, since so many scanlators and readers are outside of the West. Manga is absurdly popular in South America and Asia. Manga is even quite popular in the Middle East. So what the...

    By the way, you mentioned "common Western laws". Okay, let's take a look. Western countries that ban lolis, and convictions have happened: Australia Canada Ireland New Zealand United Kingdom Interestingly, they're all Anglo countries. Western countries that do NOT ban lolis: Austria...

    Even if it doesn't have an official translation, it is still copyright infringement, it is still illegal, it is still piracy. All scanlations are, by definition, illegal and copyright infringement. Every single manga on MangaDex is illegal, except for the manga that were officially licensed...

    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...
