You Like Me, Not My Daughter?! - Vol. 7 Ch. 33.1

[Kaiofficialone]

This needs reporting to Manga dex on discord.

Feels very fishy and scammy

It’s a Russian payment platform. Russia has universal healthcare. Extra fees? Maybe you could afford it if your country wasn’t spending hundreds of billions of dollars invading other countries.

it's obviously a scam but wtf does that have to do with anything. are you really stupid enough to get angry at random russian people over Putin's government? he's a goddamn dictator. might as well blame north koreans for starving

 

[asdman]

I mean even if it was not a scam. Asking people for money while sniping other people work is just wrong.

We don't know those guys, and they are going after series with active reader base.

Also this is MangaDex not go fund me for people to ask for help. I would highly appreciate this chapter along with any other similar chapters to be removed from the platform.

I'm broke sir

There is something comical about a person showing up, doing something that is generally hated on the website, and then asking for money.

Let's not hate on people just bcs they are Russian. None of us choose where to be born. Some people can't leave the country they live in. We don't know whole story, so that's that...

But I agree with others here - DO NOT DONATE - unless proven trustworthy by providing links to previous works etc.

They're not random though, they're very likely scammers who came here earn money by sniping. In that case I don't see why we can't get angry at them for doing the kind stuff Russia is now known for.

 

[jeezits]

At least for once everybody is dogpiling the scammer instead of making excuses for sniping. Guess posting the Boosty link right from the start played their hand too soon.

It's kinda one of those "You're not wrong Walter, you're just an asshole" issues. I'm not looking for more things to be angry at them about, though I know you probably didn't mean it that way.

Spoiler: If you literally think people are being scolds just for funsies:

This is just to explain where folks might be coming from, not to lecture you personally so no hard feelings, okay?

I assume the poster you're quoting is bristling not at the cold hard facts of the statistics on cybercrime and nation-state cybercrime sources, but at the conflation of those stats with national-level policy (war, national health care,) the actions of an individual (here Lov666) who may or may not even be Russian, and where responsibility gets divided up for the average person's healthcare options, you know? I'm sure the average Russian weeb scrolling past that comment doesn't come here to be reminded of that situation. Even if the scammers ARE employees of a national government like Russia, Iran, NK, or China, I'm not exactly sure how free they are to say "no, send me back to salt mines please" y'know?

The tone of the comment reads as "Shitty," and it's not being shitty at the scammer for what they obviously did wrong, but instead trying to score points by being shitty about where they're from. The scammer isn't going to like, read that comment and get their feelings hurt, but somebody totally unrelated might be rightfully annoyed by it, and the whole thing's unnecessary. And if the rando catching strays is here to begin with, the original poster and the random Russian already have more in common with each other than they do with their own average countryman. Kinda undermines the solidarity of the, um, posting-about-legally-gray-fan-comic-translations community.

Personally, I didn't care enough to address the source post that RexNemorensis called out - I just scrolled past it and went "Ugh, tacky." Maybe I should've, and I'm too jaded to think it would make a difference.

tldr:
Using the presence of Russian Stuff to judge the likelihood that it's a scam: Fine.
Using the assumption that the criminal is Russian to fire off inflammatory comments: Bad look, ngl.

Did ACE SCANS drop this? If not, sniping an active manga someone is working on, no thanks.

They are scumbags who are sniping my (ACE Scans) series.

 

[alampman1]

I didn't realize we dropped this manga.

We haven't!! 😳
