A Parallel World With a 1:39 Male to Female Ratio Is Unexpectedly Normal - Ch. 170 - I’m Not Alone

[Agt2018]

Hey there, I just want to remind you that the average manga reader, especially ones who read for free on a website like Mangadex, are mostly children. I hope that people who think they are entitled to free pirated content and then complain about its quality will not discourage you from trying. Your translation, font, and everything else could be improved, but it's very readable. I once tried translating a series, and I know how hard it can be.

I think people who have never translated before should stop gatekeeping. Bullying a new translator out of the translation scene is never a good idea.

The negative voices are always louder than anything else, don't let it get to you.

Okay, for the sake of the argument, I went and read those abomination of the chapters and all of his comments that this guy uploaded even though I already blocked him.

First, sorry for being children and entitled pirate, thanks for calling me out.

Now,
1. I've read those works of his and there is no sign of anything being improved. For comparison, let's use REALSCANS who translated Okaeri Papa (which at that time, didn't updated for a long time). At first his translation is horrendous, but after reading comments, his works clearly improved over time. I really appreciate that, because I know that guy is putting effort. It truly shows that he wished to be better. Maybe I'm biased but there is no noticeable improvement from this guy. Clearly his concern is just to pump up any chapter as fast as he could, and then leave the works to us to correct his garbage works (just look at his comments). He didn't wish to be better, and putting minimum effort.

2. Now, we caught up with the raw, why is this guy suddenly stop uploading? If he want to be a translator, surely he will upload the rest of the chapter? This guy already listed his reason like "I upload as I read", so probably he has no reason to upload now. What that makes? He is no more than just a troll who ruin enjoyment. When reading manga, discussion is half the fun. The other commenters here already stated that sniper can discouraged the translator, and there is a pattern of that, so I won't elaborate further as the other commenters already giving a very good reasoning.

3. I agree gatekeeping is bad, but at least, there is etiquette. This guy is not following any of that, and when people calling out of his behaviour, he plays dumb.

So, you are right we shouldn't gatekeep and encourage people to try, I agree, and we are consuming a free content, but I can't help to think that this guy is being malicious, while keep acting dumb the whole time. That's the thing that irks me the most. It is not as simple as his works sucks. Well, that's what I thought, hope it clears for you. Sorry for being aggresive in the whole thread.

Nice points! But you're wrong on some things. 1) I didn't translate to create a " perfect " version. It's text. Main idea's there? Good enough. I do it for myself, share for those who don't want to wait. Don't like the font? Give me one. Left-aligned text? PaintTool SAI can't center it. 2) Yes, no reason. Hm, you don’t like my translation? Cool. Do? Cool. Not my problem if others lack perseverance. 3) Unwritten rules, étiquette? I follow the written ones. Rule 1.3.1? I didn't evade any group upload restrictions. Don't be sorry.

He is actively harming and stopping translations from happening, and you are actively harming and stopping translations by encouraging him. Why are you doing this?

You are actively trying to stop a new translator from entering the translation scene. Why are you gatekeeping?

So far all I see are uploads of their own translations, how does it harm or stop BB from translating? Did BB say something or are you theory crafting with assumptioms and guesses?

Very valid points, you are way better than the rest of the children on this thread, but let me say something about your points

The first point, you gave an example of the translator improves as more comments and feedbacks they recieved. A measurable improvement from the help of the community. What do we have here though? Only hate. How is anyone going to improve through this overwhelming hatred and nothing constructive?

The second point you raised on "why did they stop", it just means you guys are winning does it not? Even if it's mtl, efforts are still needed, just try it out yourself. So why put the effort when everyone's hating? I would stop too. The gatekeeping is working.

There's also the point of BB potentially stop translating. Let's be honest here, do you think this guy can hold a candle to BB? Readers are not blind, and they will prefer BB's translation. All these white knight when BB might not even need any.

Also, what etiquette? Is there one that states "do not use an actively updated manga as a practice for translation"?

I don't know if he's being malicious or not, nor do I really care since I'm just here reading free manga, but what I see are a bunch of bullies trying to shun away a new translator with incredible amount of hate. Made me want to comment before we lose another one that's testing the water.

But then there's also their reply to your message... Not the best response but hey, they are embracing the hate.
