The closure of a major illegal manga/webtoon site, combined with a creator's raw, emotional statement, sparked a huge debate about piracy, creator rights, and the struggles of the publishing industry in Korea.
난 만화 리디에서 봄
🇰🇷 KOREAN REACTIONS 10
Bro, don't even get me started on publishers who grab the rights, drop like 1-3 volumes to 'test the waters,' then if sales are low, they just hold onto the rights forever and put it on permanent hiatus?? Stop doing that fr 😤
And then like magic, it gets an anime adaptation, gets popular, and THEN they decide to release 1-2 more volumes officially lol 💀
Being on hiatus is lucky, ngl. Some bastards just straight up dipped from the publishing industry altogether 😭
There are so many internet bros out here justifying their 'honorable' illegal viewing by complaining about translation, censorship, double-page spreads, etc. Hmm... 👀
These same people will trash Westerners for justifying their piracy with the exact same logic, the hypocrisy is wild 💀
If Netflix has mosaics in the anime, I'm immediately hitting up the illegal sites, no cap.
Isn't there like a Steam for comics? Why is it so hard to find legal stuff?
I buy manga, and it sucked every time Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen spoilers popped up from pirates, but now I'm kinda glad this site got shut down 😈
But isn't it enough to just draw it well? I buy webtoon cookies to read, but I don't even look at webtoons with boring, blurry art trying to make easy money.
Criminal mindset, lmaoooo 💀
