@Yautja I didn't even see the comments before reading at the bottom of the page that Hetzek had "passed away". Because I'm in my late 20s now, and I've experienced people close to me struggle with addictions(some passing away because of them), and because they said Hetzek left behind two children and a wife, that shit came real close to home. Drug addiction isn't a meme, and if you think it is you need to get your head checked or you're just a straight up cunt.
I also posted in my comment that scanlating groups are family, we support each other, and many of us(myself included) tried helping Holo build up and contribute to Mangadex in any way possible after the death of the former website. It may be like distant relatives, but you get to know your team pretty well while in a scanlation group and if I heard that my old translator had passed away that would have been heartbreaking. I understand the internet hivemind shit, you can't escape it nowadays, but even without "concrete evidence" that doesn't mean that everyone should just be saying "OH WAIT, WE SHOULD INVESTIGATE BEFORE WE EVEN THINK ABOUT SENDING CONDOLENCES LOL, PROB OBV MEME AMIRITE?". That's some backward ass thinking IMO.
? Grow upand I say this unironically snowflake. Death is the biggest joke out there; anything is open to be a joke.
Did someone say sociopath?
