Hello there! Just to make sure we’re on the same page before I start, I am not here to blame you, insult you, hurt you, or anything of the sort. I merely thought that this was something worth pointing out as I wasn’t sure whether you noticed it yourself or not. Also, I would send this by DM instead of posting on your public wall, but for some reason, I can't send DMs as my account is new.

I was reading over the comment section of Charming and the Beast which you are translating, and I noticed some people were making comments about the chapters you uploaded. While some people might have been rude, others were merely providing suggestions. There is a specific thread that’s been going around recently, but it seems most people have not read it properly. Harsh as it may have been, there seems to be no hate in what the original commenter said, though it brought a lot of hate towards them and others regardless. Some comments were even telling the “haters” to go die or that the commenters would go harm or kill them. I get that some of them are mad, but telling someone to kill themselves is much too extreme. Cursing at others and their loved ones and sending death threats is not ok under any circumstance. In fact, death threats are a serious crime in many jurisdictions. There is a human being with emotions behind every comment, and that includes those who make negative remarks. While you have not said anything of the sort yourself, not saying anything can be equally as damaging.

All this to say, please be mindful of how you address certain situations next time. You may not have meant any harm, but your notice has brought a ton of unnecessary hate to people who merely pointed something out. Most comments didn’t say anything about you specifically, only suggesting you do something about the translator notes from what I noticed. It happens to everyone, there will always be criticism brought even to the most perfect of scanlators. While some people might have complained about your translation, it is up to you whether to ignore or address those comments. If you plan on continuing translating, consider whether these comments are worth paying attention to or not. If yes, then do something about it; maybe change a detail you think needs a bit more work, or look into how to improve an area you think yourself to be lacking in. If not, then disregard it and keep doing what you were before. Complaining about it to all the readers in a notice brought this situation way out of proportion.

By pointing this out, I ultimately hope you can do something about this. Many of the commenters who addressed the so-called “haters” in your support believed that they were in the right when making those aggressive and inappropriate remarks. Since they seem to listen to you and take into consideration what you say more than anyone else at the moment, I hope you could let them know, even in a small notice at the end of a chapter, that their behaviour is NOT ok, neither online nor in person. Hurtful comments are exactly that - hurtful and unnecessary. Standing up for what you believe in is fine, but their actions went too far. As the person who, unintentionally, instigated them, I hope you can do something about this situation.

Once again, I do not want to come across as if I’m blaming you or being mean. I just hope that, by letting you know of the issue, you could include a few words at the end of a chapter addressing this problem to make the situation a little better. Even now, days after you have mentioned you would continue the series, people are still commenting ill-spirited words. It doesn’t need to be anything long or overly complicated - just think of it as you would do your translator notes and memes and let it come naturally. This is just a suggestion since some comments went way too far and I know you are someone who they would listen to.
