Mangadex to purge titles for legal reasons

[gunlocksp]

FWIW I'm not a casual chat thread regular. Don't blame them for my sins 😔

@gunlocksp xnot didn't insult anyone

OG: I was replying to xnot about him banning others but letting a schizo run lo0se calling people pedos.
Edit: I was referring to xnot threatening to ban others for insulting him while turning a blind eye to a certain schizo running loose calling/implying users are pedos. Now I know why you quoted rule 2 to me. ╮(─▽─)╭

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...

You do realize this just hurts your post from before this, right?

If you're operating on US laws then 95%+ of that DMCA takedown didn't need to happen nor do any of these manga chapter removals/full series nukes.

You're just further confirming for everybody that you're trying to appease NamiComi and credit card companies.

came from a new chapter thread saying to abandon mangadex (again) and find 38 pages of people fighting over.. honestly im still not sure lol

mangadex has been my life raft after the other sites fell, so hurts to see it, constantly, suffering from some kind of major problem.

personally, i won't be abandoning ship anytime soon, but obviously have diversified my portfolio since the last purge

sounds like my neighbours downstairs continuing to make every aspect of everyones (whose not rich and powerful) life living hell. great.

The other way around also has to be respected as well if you are asking people from this thread to be civil on the other thread. While sure, some people here are less than pleasant to be around, from what I have seen, the people from the casual chatting thread have been constantly mocking and making jabs, mocking, dismissing and downright antagonizing at the genuine concerns made by the people in this thread for a dozen pages now.

You got the point right, I want to be as neutral as possible but the whole thread getting like that because they have soft spot for some mods, I'm included. I think instead bandwagoning with everyone some choose people they been interacting with instead.

Well there won't be much manga on the site anymore since good chunk of manga take place in high school or involve teenagers.

Next on MangaDex:
Level 9 Reached! I Reincarnated as the Admin Who Sold Out Everyone… But the Site Lives On! Even if there's no content left, at least the server didn't die!

Well we've already got the series cover art

 

[DracoSafarius]

it wouldnt be payment processors atleast not in US, the courts ruled Visa and Mastercard are not allowed to put any restrictions on transactions due to content of purchases or Merch in general

Wasn't this just a proposed thing? Never heard anything about it being voted through even the first round when it was appearing in news like 1-3 months back

Is there at least a list of titles that have been removed and cannot be reposted? This move takes out a huge chunk of shoujo/josei smut since a lot of it takes place in high school - at least let us have a list so we know what needs to be found elsewhere instead of playing a guessing game of what is or isn't allowed.

Just registered an account to say:

I for one welcome the outstandingly brave, courageous, and FEARLESS actions of @EtherealNeko and @Xnot to defend these lines and dots on a screen from the awful privations they have to endure! Truly THIS is the most important thing that they could be spending their short time on this Earth on! A story they shall tell their grandchildren!

I tell you, long after we are all gone there will songs and statues to the brave fighters like those two. WARRIORS in the fight against being able to tell apart fact and fiction.

But I have to ask: have they gone far enough? Wouldn't it be better if they gathered together all the ikky material they don't like in a big pile and set fire to it? Maybe march around it whilst they do, and then round everyone they don't like up and put them in camps so they can be concentrated in some way? It's just a thought. For after all, Namicomi shall be an empire that shall last a 1000 takedown requests!

There are underage around us.

one of them angry

 

[MeePotato]

I just remembered that one ex-reddit mod from r/livestreamfails that made a video for the CEO(?) of reddit to make rules about mod rights to have it monetized and such, and just started spouting bullshit about why he's right and everyone's wrong on the decision to kick him lol

 

[dq_fanaticman]

I haven't used this site in months because the UI was really unpleasant looking, only used it to read dragon quest dai no daiboken to look at Maam's sexy thighs
Anyways, can someone tell me why a piracy site cares about legality????
Bro if any of the mods get arrested for this site(highly unlikely), it'll be for the mere fact that you're illegally hosting a site filled with manga series worth lots of money 😭
Not the lolicon stuff

 

[pink_rabbit]

One last thing to say in this thread- I will never understand how mangadex NOW wants to "protect" these drawings rather than stand up against the government that is harming, hurting, actual children today. I know this is the "others have it worse" but this is something I want to know in this topic. Texas is banning this type of content but what about gore? what about the countless titles like danganronpa? Most of the titles have underage characters. Miku Hatsune has been 16 for over 20+ years and she's married to some guy IRL!

Art is meant to be the freedom and speaking out the messages about our opinions. What we believe and want to see more in the world. If this is what the staff truly believes in then I hope you are all able to sleep knowing you ""protected"" these drawings than the millions of victims out there in the world. Just know that the government never cared about us. They don't care about anything but themselves. The fact you are obeying while putting your head down to it.... Ironic when there is so much manga about freedom and revolutionizing on this site....

This is not an attack on staff. It's a statement. If you know what you are doing is right then you can freely ignore all of these people commenting (including myself)

bullshit, ruining the site

I hope this is a fucking joke!
this is not helping AT ALL.

the core problem is something else:

Despite people like bestboy continously denying the MD is going Crunchy accusations, they are true.

Mangadex is a registered business. Mangadex is a company. The owners are known and easily available for authorities.
They have to comply with laws (regarding copyright stuff)
They are dependent on services from paypal stripe visa and mastercard. Therefore they have to do as they say. not even fakku was save and hatd to remove over 7000 of its galleries because creditcard companies didn like the content.

MD owners try to run a pirate site as a legal business. this wont work. They don't consider themselfes to be pirates.

pirates are free from restrictions and such bullshit. you are slaves now.

theres no way back. its too late. this website is doomed and i am incredibly devastated. i miss the good times from 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022

i regret having lived long enough to witness this.

to you, has MangaDex lived long enough to become a villain?

 

[sillyangelboy]

Oh no, there’s every reason to go there, since it’s always the same group of “people”.
“Don’t believe your lying eyes”, you tell me to.

Lol no there's not, gender identity has nothing to do with what content you like. I and many others like me are just as confused that this is happening as anyone else, just say you're salivating at the chance to be a surface-level dimwit and leave it at that.

 

[Thokri]

Urgh, fakku and crunchyroll again.

Thank god found better sites but I still miss this ones how to check library and where I left at on web version.

 

[fabyan]

ahhh, it's time to search another site, yet again. It's been a good run guys. Ain't gonna trust piracy site that going "legal", they often full of bs
