That is a problem with the work culture not the system in of itself. It's even thanks to this system people are able to make money through art. Name another economic structure that allows people to draw and make a living out of it. Hell you even have people who are self-published and can make enough to support themselves. Dumbass.
Manga is a competitive business. Like it or not mangaka's work hard because they have to. If you can't get your name out there and make your presence known why would anyone care about you and honestly that is fine. Do they work themselves to death? Yes they do because if they didn't they wouldn't be able to get their stories out and make money. You have to understand art is a business and if you want to popular you have to put your everything on the line to succeed. Many don't and that is the nature of competition. I cannot stand retards that don't understand that to make it you have to work, and work, and work to develop a skillset that's worth a damn or understand a market and work towards succeeding in it.
The original commentator didn't provide any solution and did the usual socialist retardation ''workers seize power'' as if that will solve anything.
Just because something "is" doesn't mean it
should be. Progress can be made, things can change. American industrialization was great capitalism, really competitive. It also had child labour.
Are we long suffering today because we didn't put Timmy on the factory floor 13?
Just because you're in a capitalistic world doesn't mean I need to lose my hand at age 12 and then get sent home for a pittance after a 12 hour work day
And before we nitpick at the example, it's just an example to show modulation
Not saying no one understands effort & struggle, theres even mangas and animation about that, but if these guys are wasting away, ya probably could do better. Even if you do grind. You shouldn't have to be on the grind forever
I am fully aware that this comment will change nothing on your opinion, as we all know vindicated people on the internet never change their opinions.
So im just really saying this for my own self-satisfaction, I just feel it's ridiculous to ignore any portent of improvement because "that's the way things are! It's tradition!"
