@Lilliwyt You do realize that translation is an art in and of itself right? That's why we don't use Google translate for everything and why there are tropes associated with translation and not the work itself.
And for the last fucking time, anyone or any site asking for no politics in X better have a good definition of "politics" that isn't just a no true Scotsman of whatever that's controversial these days, which mangadex doesn't have. Honestly just saying that they're assblasted is much more honest and reasonable than whatever garbage the admins came up with.
But all of this is also completely irrelevant because what I took problem with is the claim that
ALL anime and manga is made solely as escapist fantasies and that somehow we should respect the safe spaces those who ask for self insert MC in badly written masturbatory stories that amount to an exercise in stroking the metaphorical cocks of their readers. They are everything wrong with this industry and the reason why this art form is so ghettoed. A festering tumour of mediocrity.
