I support scanlation sites wholeheartedly but a line is crossed when there are people out here SELLING other peoples manhwas and there is nothing abt it being done.
I encourage everyone to go report the site Desirescans.com to either googles legal help site or the actual manhwas original site (ie lezhin and any others).
It does come to question that most of these companies that originally publish the manhwas are extremely evil to their artists but think abt it this is the bare minimum that we can do for our manhwa artists.
I hate to take this route but u have to think about it. There are people (not only desirescans according to what some others have told me) actually profiting, like getting real money, from using AI to translate manhwa chapters and then locking them behind a paywall.
This is beyond unfair to the artist and just despicable imo. I highly encourage everyone to go report desirescans.com and any other site alike that also profits off of scanlation.
Thx for hearing me out
Why are we shocked that a korean made a native slave x white master smut slop, the ppl that are known for being hella ignorant and racist. Girly comes out w a white savior manhwa and im supposed to be shocked? Disappointed yes but my jaw is right in its place. Like i wanna know whoo was in that room w jaxx coming up w ideas and encouraged this storyline and lied to this girl.
And yes i fear every white fan should stfu and listen. When someone of that race tells u hey THIS ISN'T OKAY u listen and u educate urself. How fucking smutrotted are yall to just ignore this for some weirdly/unrealistically drawn 2d dih
As an Asian, I don't think it's automatically racist to point out that racism and ignorance are real issues in Korea. That's something plenty of Koreans and other Asians acknowledge themselves. I read that part of the post less as "every Korean is racist" and more as "this kind of storyline unfortunately doesn't surprise me given the social attitudes that still exist."
i think that your reflection is fine but i don't think you can read sentences like "why are we shocked a korean...the ppl that are known for being hella ignorant and racist" and not have alarm bells ringing
even if they actually meant what you think they meant, they should be called out for using language encourages others to believe that koreans are 'hella ignorant and racist'
it's just such a disgusting way of communicating.
Yeah I definitely understand what you mean, I think op just worded it wrong. I don’t think they meant to generalize Koreans as a whole but rather were referring to the ongoing racism in the manhwa community & how most Korean authors tend to be are ignorant when it comes to things like racism. (Plus they aren’t really wrong about this specific author, she’s been making snarky remarks on twitter to excuse her recent work.)
What the actual fuck?? Which dying son of a bitch gave you the fucking right to spit vitriol on me without knowing a single fucking thing??
For your information, I was merely making a joke in response to the other person's comment. While I will admit that, it's definitely misplaced given the seriousness of the thread and I do concede my faults. This was an extension of me misinterpreting OP's og comment at generalizing every Korean as ignorant and racist (to which many ppl have pointed out as bad wording)
So no Sarah, don't try to police me on ignorance when you're so full of it yourself
Oh I finally see what this is, pookie were you trying to ragebait me? Give yourself a pat in the back bc you have successfully achieved it, now go fap to this first and only achievement in your entire miserable life.
This is my last reply to you, my bad for even assuming you had the brain capacity to have a decent discussion. You haven't responded to a single thing I actually said, except for calling ppl stupid for three replies straight. If you want to comment on racism, how about you work on your reading comprehension and make sure you understand who you're replying to and what they're actually saying. Get a grip and have a good day
What the fuck are you talking about all we've done is throw insults at eachother and now you wanna act like you actually said anything of meaning I wished I lived in a world where racist like you actually started dying off like flies so I wouldn't have to waste precious seconds talking to bottom of the barrel bitches
Whats with manhwa writers thinking being a masochist equals consent to rape?? This shit pmo so bad like good bdsm rep whennn
True. Good bdsm is few. Being a m =/= wanting to be raped, unprompted. Consent is literally the bread and butter of good bdsm. If your so called bdsm story doesn't have the characters both consenting to how they want to play, yes, including very hardcore plays, maybe even rape play, then sorry, you're not writting a bdsm story, you're just writing an actual rape story.
Coming on here to point out that you actively reading manhwas that trigger you is a form of self harm. Continuing to do it even after noticing that you get triggered (ie having an extreme emotional reaction to it like anger, sadness etc. (but also not unheard of, you can still have a sympathetic reaction without this necessarily being abt you)) is also a possible sign of addiction to that self harm. Also paired with getting that dopamine from it, it's even more damaging.
People throw this saying around as haha jokes but it genuinely is exactly what it means. Go outside and touch grass. Reading rape manhwa upon rape manhwa gets to a point and by doing it you're actively destroying ur minds and nervous systems. It's normal to consume media like that but not at the rate a lot of really young people are currently and especially without any safety precautions or knowledge on what they're even reading.
This may seem dumb to many but it's inevitably true. Seek help by just talking abt stuff to a support system or by just simply taking a break and reading something wholesome. It'll seem boring, but honestly thats exactly what your brain needs especially after all that quick dopamine and self harm.
Edit: if you are a healthy functioning adult this doesn't refer to you (it can but thats not the point im trying to make) you are fully allowed to read whatever you want but hopefully in a way you're able to distinct fiction from reality. I'm talking about the minors on these sites reading and consuming dark fiction that can't and it is actively messing with their heads. One of which is a very possibly self harm technique that a lot are doing without even realizing it.
Is it just me or are chapters getting shorter and shorter?? They take sm time to release only for the chapters to be so short ive read them in 2 minutes.
I understand this is yet again another industry where artists get overworked and this is in no way bashing them, but I've just noticed this continuous trend with almost every bl I read. It takes over a week to update and then its extremely short. Like so much can be told in one chapter but every chapter I read is just one scene and everytime it changes the chapter reads to to be continued. :/
just pointing this cuz its lowk starting to bother me

Genuinely how is this ai using, money stealing scanlation group allowed to exist??? They literally hide chapters BEHIND PAYWALLS on their own made shit site! Scanlating is already pretty illegal and while i do support it I DO NOT SUPPORT LITERALLY GETTING PAYED BY READERS JUST SO THEY CAN READ FULL CHAPTERS WITH SHIT AI TRANSLATING ON UR SHIT AI MADE WEBSITE. the fact that the site after numerous reporting still hasnt gotten flagged is beyond me. GO REPORT DESIRESCANS AND ANY SITE LIKE IT WHO PUTS CHAPS BEHIND PAYWALLS
So true bro. I skip over all their translations even if it means having to wait months for the officials or actual human scanlators
LIKE FUCK THEM AND THAT UGLY AI ANIME BOY YOUUU STINK
