What do you mean "Don't they get paid"? I don't know of any scan group that gets paid to do it. They ask for donations but that isn't for them, that's to buy the raws and such. They don't keep the money for themselves. So they don't actually "get paid" and it's a lot harder being in a scan group than one might think because of deadlines and dealing with their life outside of the manga community.
Twas a joke.
AND HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHETHER THEY GET PAID OR NOT!? I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A SCANALATOR GROUP AND THEY DON'T EXACTLY EXPLAIN THESE THINGS IN DETAIL!!
So why don't you take the joke at face value and BACK OFF!!
(╬￣皿￣)凸
Most times it says "Volunteer" or "Translated by fans for fans", it usually says that in the manga or on their own website. I am not in a scanlation group either but I knew that. A lot of other people know that as well, but it doesn't sound like a joke at all. Maybe next time you should make it sound more like a joke or put in it "this is a joke" because it comes off very ignorant and rude, tbh. （￣へ￣）
jeez chill. he/she wasn't even trying to be rude. Just stating that facts...
( Q~Q) . . .!!
You stupid dummy ugly!! I hate you!!
（/TДT)/
I wasn't trying to be rude either.... when I made the first joke.
> -( <
That's not very nice. I wasn't being rude or nothing, just letting you know, so chill some.(〜￣△￣)〜
_ _
( □ )=3.... Hah.. .. I give up now. You don't play along with the joke no matter what I do. I need a better straight man...
I didn't know that there was a joke, I haven't seen a joke this whole post.....what does that even mean? You aren't making any sense, or any jokes for that matter. (￣∇￣")
wow, are you a kid or something? all your replies are so immature. not only that, your "joke" didn't exactly sound like a joke, anon was just trying to tell you that scanalators don't get paid, but then you get all mad and say that it was a joke, then anon replies saying that they were just trying to inform you about scanalators pay and then you say " You stupid dummy ugly!! I hate you!!" I'm really baffled because that sounds so immature. and then after that you try to play it off saying that its their fault that they don't get the joke... I'm sorry but you seriously need to calm down, not everyone is going to get your "joke". anon's comment was an innocent comment, no need to get so worked up. (I'm gonna regret commenting this later, you're probably gonna go nuts and yell at me or something (￣へ￣）)
LOL chill down gurl. you don't have to be so defensive when someone is just informing you of something. additional info is always welcomed. it's unnecessary to reply angrily.
Nope.
Sorry if it came out that way it's just that online I tend to have no filter and type the first thing that comes to mind. I tend to forget that not everyone gets my humor especially if it's just being typed. I'm sorry about that. I'm also sorry @ just I
I gotta say if you just took a nice breath before your first reply and stayed as cool as a cucumber. Then I'd think you were a pretty quirky nice person.
But hey, everyones got days when they just wanna go full caplock on whoever replies first I suppose.
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Oh.
This escalated quickly~.
honestly, i could tell it was a joke and there was nothing bad about what kuinishi wrote in the first comment. but when anon said "what do you mean," it gave a bad vibe. it really does. kuinishi might have overreacted but anon should watch what his or her tone sounds lIke. especially since its all written out and nothing hints the fact that he or she is just wanting to "inform." Don't just label someone as "ignorant or rude" just because you can't understand a joke because I understood it and i even laughed. Don't call someone "ignorant" just because you can't place yourself in someone else's shoes. Why did kuinishi overreact? did any of you who attacked him or her verbally on here think about that? because i did and anon's comment gave me the feel that anon was taking his or her anger of the translators not getting paid out on kuinishi. the "what do you mean," words hint anon thinling kuinishi's stupid or something. even if you really think someone's being ignorant, don't publicize it. just because someone doesn't know something doesn't meanthat they are stupid or ignorant. I'm one of the top five percent SAT scorers in the nation and i don't think the other 95 percent are stupid so what gives anyone any right to call anyone else stupid over a fact one could've just wrote "i don't believe they get paid at all" instead. 1, it sounds a lot better and doesn't give a bad vibe and 2, it doesn't give you any chance for others to mistake your "just informing" attitude. think about it before you reply.
O_o holy you wrote a lot. all i say was "im one of the top five percent SAT scoreres in the nation..." good job. word of advice: dont waste too much time on this website. but that's coming from a stupid person so you don't have to listen to me
alright kid let me tell you this intelligence quotient =/= emotional quotient. who hurt you? it's all clear and nice now and why do you still have to get triggered? you too, take a chill pill. no matter how "intelligent" you claim to be (and really it's not our business) only an immature person who doesn't accept FYIs or look at oneself too high react like you do. your reach is even worse than kunishi and she took it better than you. if you are intelligent as you claim you are, you should have realize on your own that you are the one that is overreacting.
Agreed. I thought it was just an immature joke. Didn't warrant all this drama. (〜￣△￣)〜
You know the raw has been out for more than a week... But still no English update.
Bad: What is taking those scanalator fairies so long!?
Good: Don't say that. They are just working on this as a side project while they are living OWN LIVES.
Bad: Don't they get paid though?
Good: Not very much.
Bad: . . . I still want my update though!! I can't read fluent Japanese!!
Good: Well whose fault is that?
Bad: *sulk*
