i like new people joining the hobby but sadly they dont get how these sites are ILLEGAL and always at risk
People hop in and don't learn about the unspoken rules of not mentioning the site & translation team name. The art of gatekeeping should come back atp.
Yep! Also yaoi/Bl becoming more mainstream isn’t really helping “normies” lack etiquette!
COULDN'T AGREE ENOUGH!!!!
Some of them even did it with full intention to get the site banned/ragebait. I would agree if the site got into lay low mode and couldn't be accessed unless you have your account
Same. I never gatekeep, but I also don't post on social media, I mostly comment these days. Most sites have a rule not to share outside. I also don't like to fault "new gens" (because we all were one once ya know??) but I wish there was a way to give them a PSA outside of talking to them one on one. Bato was like a side chick for me, so I'm not really mourning a loss here, but we COULD be next.
God I hate gatekeeping but we need to start doing it again I hate when ppl say newgen ruin shit but it might be true to a certain degree!
