This author loves writing soy boys who get manipulated and abused by women. Talk about self insert fantasy mixed with trauma.
I am assuming you also removed the erotica tag which I can't defend. But mods adding the sexual violence tax and removing your rights to edit an unrelated manga is just them power tripping out of spite, desperately trying to prove they are better than you. Hopefully you will keep uploading on other sites if one of the mods has another melty and nukes you. Or perhaps another completely unrelated group that totally isn't you will pick this and hajimete no gal up on here again.All I wanted was a public vote for these tags...
And now, I lost even my power to edit Hajimete no Gal.

MangaDex staff stand to lose more than just having a manga mislabeled. There are laws in some countries around exposure to sensitive or explicit materials, and not following these laws can get MangaDex banned there. Of course they will default to the strictest tags and won't ask anyone's opinion.I just care that this should be done in a public vote, and not behind closed doors in the blink of an eye.
Insert meta femme fatale joke here.Never would I have thought that a manga about horny girls would be the watershed moment for mangadex mods.
I look forward to when this place switches name to MangaXAre they powertripping? Maybe, but we don't have the right of a public vote here anyway
I think that stuff like this can be a bit demotivating. At this rate it’s hard to defend not having an erotica tag, but still it’s not fun when your work and even more the artist’s don’t reach out to as many as it could. For some of us spreading the popularity and love of the manga is our main motivation for scanlating.it was erotica from the start. I think sexual violence was ambiguous before this chapter. someone having a depraved fantasy when they are clearly too restrained to ever act on it isn't sexual violence in my eyes. just intrusive thoughts.
I don't think it matters here, but in general I think this is a pretty bad yard stick. frequency absolutely affects a content warning. You can say one "fuck" or show a few butts and not be R rated. A manga that has nipples once early on and never again is not erotica and maybe not even suggestive depending on context (e.g. it was in a normal bath scene).
At the end of the day we're westerners arguing about content policies from Japanese publishers. Those sensibilites should be taken into account instead of going "butt? Erotica" or "forced kiss? Sexual violence"

Also, this drama against scanslators who already are in low supply only hurts readers and the site. If it gets too bad, they (and by extension, we) will simply migrate off. Especially ecchi readers like us, we're used to needing to migrate and backup our shit, because this drama loves targeting us, who just wanna be left in our little corner. You can't be spamming donation links to keep a site up while harassing the people who provide your content.
I really don't wanna die on the hill for fucking Hajimete no Gal. But clearly something personal occured if an unrelated manga's permissions were also hit (one that has almost 200 chapters and is very consistent in content).
Also, really stupid for a forum site to be referred to a different forum site to resolve issues. You build out an entire communication network but have no arbitration on that same site? No wonder they couldn't get them working again for 3 years.
There's a hint that he had some trauma in his childhood changing him and completely losing faith in himself, but we really don't know much about it as of yet. I even had some hypothesis that it was Sakurasawa and she actually died and he's psychotic and sees others as her the entire time, but at this rate this is going to be a stretch. Still stories like that with unreliable narrators are fun.What's wrong with him?
Im trying to see where they are wrong for applying the tags? I dont get where you are comming from thoAll I wanted was a public vote for these tags...
And now, I lost even my power to edit Hajimete no Gal.

There are alternatives to mangadex, but let's face it, they're kind of shitty and your work would be less visible since they're not that popular. Also most aggregators scrape mangadex for ratings and similar, and switching to another uploading site won't change that even if they scrape the chapters.it was erotica from the start. I think sexual violence was ambiguous before this chapter. someone having a depraved fantasy when they are clearly too restrained to ever act on it isn't sexual violence in my eyes. just intrusive thoughts.

This is part of the reason I made my own popular listIssue with the erotica tag is that it's not visible on the sfw new popular titles list, but even worse that aggregators use this rating, and lock them behind logins and hides them on their sites. This ruins the visibility of the manga a lot, getting it out to fewer people. So it's not only about mangadex, but the countless scrapers that uses this site.
Yeah, in their defense though the popular new titles list is a placeholder until they get view count and a proper list up like they had before the site went down. But there are several issues with the popular new titles list, and it's unfair as hell.This is part of the reason I made my own popular list
She definitely sexually assaulted the guy this chapter. Swap genders and the tag would be a no brainer.I think it's the sexual violence tag that's a bit of a stretch.
But not my battle to fight.
LMFAO IS THIS THE CSM AUTHOR??Goddammit, Fujimoto! Now every dumpster fire author is drawing a handjob scene.
Thanks for the chapter!
Yes, it's him.LMFAO IS THIS THE CSM AUTHOR??
I see. And yeah, if you're logged out, they don't show up on the home page unless you filter out safe and suggestive works.Issue with the erotica tag is that it's not visible on the sfw new popular titles list, but even worse that aggregators use this rating, and lock them behind logins and hides them on their sites.

It's all the same forum. This one. The request for the mods to look into the changing tags was in the Support subforum by a different user. Venante went to the discord server to create another request aside from the one he made in the support subforum.Also, really stupid for a forum site to be referred to a different forum site to resolve issues.

He was removing both tags for the sake of getting the series visibility to go up, causing an edit war to occur. He even acknowledged it was erotica, but was still removing the erotica tag.I am assuming you also removed the erotica tag which I can't defend.
