LMAOOOOOOOOO FELT.

It may not be real, but a tag or trigger warning can be very beneficial to someone who has ptsd, anxiety or easily has flashbacks that can send them into a downward spiral that they cannot control due to traumatic events. It is a courtesy because it cam be a health hazard. The tag(s) can stop people from picking up the manga in the first place and/or not reading that particular chapter so as not to trigger themselves--or even just mentally prepare themselves if they can stand to read it at that given time. Regardless of whether its real or not, trauma is real and can be triggered by words, phrases or images.
Also, I don't think anyone is a "degenerate", as you put it, for supporting gay love in any fashion. I don't quite know why you would say that as if it were a bad thing. You love who you love, are attracted to who you're attracted to. They're called "soul mates" and not "gender mates" for a reason.
And they're notes wouldn't be so offensive if they weren't aimed directly at the readers. Calling us stupid, weak, "pricks" and thinking it's funny is not appropriate. State your opinion, sure, but don't be hostile, agressive and rude about it. Like your comment, for example, wasn't rude even with the degenerate comment (I'm unsure if you meant that in an exclusively rude fashion as a knock towards gay people and I'm assuming not considering you're reading this manga). You spoke well and with thought and used examples in a debative sort of way instead of a combative and defense way, as the translators do. I might be more inclined to have a better opinion of them if they carried themselves with grace and giving legitimate reasons, rather than them saying they aren't adding tags because they're annoyed with their audience. Furthermore, they went on to say they would purposefully not add tags and post more rape in retaliation, which is childish and apathetic. You don't have to understand in order to have sympathy, and these translators obviously don't. To a lot of people, that's appalling and incomprehensible. I would rather not have this manga updated than have a team such as this doing translations.

If you don't care what people wanna say to you, why do you feel the need to leave a comment? The same goes for the translator.

Very well said!

They (being most other translators) kinda usually do have a t/w, I mean,.some can be a little piece of text or a whole page, but I mean its their translation, they can make the comments they want- thats freedom of speech. Doesn't mean their not gonna get backlash but my first point was just that they were getting shit for the text being there (regardless of topic)... they posted it, so they should be able to add their own little points where they see fit. Plus, it doesn't mean I agree with everything they were saying...

Secondly, I think there's tags from people who have read it (I think its popular tags) on like the right side of the screen and have a lot you can check over before you read something- be careful of spoilers though. The warnings are there yet the comments are persistent. Just don't read that manga, turn off your screen or click off of the manga,
but hey, if its anxiety, for me, I usually use texture as a distraction (crunchy food, soft toys, cotton, etc) but that may not be for you. <this doesn't really matter to my little tangent but if its anxiety, try something like this, hell, even heat/cold can help too, blow on your thumb to help with an erratic heart beat.>
Hell, I do care and thats the problem, I care about what people say to the point I feel disgusted for how loud I breathe on the train or that I can't talk about yaoi cause people assume I'm sexualising gay men. I just don't want to care cause thats probably the key to happiness.

I'm sorry if I offended you with degenerate, that ones on me, after all, I didn't realise sarcasm/banter like tones were harder to detect in text form. I saw that as a way to connect us all, cause we can call it whatever we want (degenerates/fans/fujoshi/fudanshi) but we're a community so regardless I stand by my point that we shouldn't judge each other for something someone else may dislike, for example, bdsm yaoi vs wholesome.

But I never called anyone stupid or dumb, if the translators did, thats on them. Don't think I'm not gonna defend myself or sit here and take it like I have to everywhere else. And implying that I'm homophobic, is moot. I wouldn't have been reading this from 13 to 20 if I hated gay people, this even helped me realise I was lgbt. So please, if you're gonna use that as an arguement, don't force words into my mouth, or rather screen. I even said and I quote "we're all degenerates here WITH A LOVE FOR TWO GUYS ROMANCIBG EACH OTHER", it literally says we.

This manga does deserve to be updated, it has potential, but if these people aren't the ones you wanna see doing it, then you're welcome to wait for someone else to take over. In fact, I'll tell you when that happens. So look, I'll apologise for calling us degenerates but so long as you apologise for assuming I was homophobic. Thats all I want.

I did not assume you were homophobic. Not in the slightest. What I said was, "I'm unsure if you meant that in an exclusively rude fashion as a knock towards gay people and I'm assuming not considering you're reading this manga". In fact, nowhere did I infer or allude to you being homophobic. Just merely that you used the word "degenerate" as a way to describe someone who reads yaoi, which i then clarified with the above quoted comment. And no, you did not call anyone stupid. The translators did. I apologize if I didn't make that clear. I'm not going to apologize for you thinking that I was calling you homophobic. I would have come right out and called you that if I was. And I was not, so I font feel the need to apologize for something that was unsaid, if that makes sense. And I think it would be rude of me to say, "sorry you felt that way" so I won't say that either.
Not everyone can control their anxiety or triggers. It just happens sometimes without warning, when you think everything is normal and you're in control. Especially with ptsd. But it seems you know all this. Also, the author puts in the trigger warnings, normally. Or at least, it has been the norm for several years now and often a requirement before a chapter that has possibly triggering content. It is the fault of of the translator if they choose not to include it or translate it when the content is normally there.
Also, in no way was I attacking you. I was merely outlining why people are so upset with the translators. What they do and say has nothing to do with you, of course, and I was merely trying to tell you what was causing the uproar, not saying that you said any of those things. In fact, I stated clearly that if the translators had adopted your tone in your first comment instead of the one they do use, there might not be such an issue. Instead, the translators choose to use a tone that implies a grandiose sense of self as well as an overbearing sense of apathy towards those of us who really do need trigger warnings. In no way was I accusing you of being apathetic. You don't come across that way. It will probably baffle a lot of people that you would stick up for a translator who is so rude, but I suppose everyone needs a defender. I don't like bullies and the translators are just that. Or at least they are coming across that way. That doesn't reflect poorly on you, but on them. I know I'm long-winded, but I feel you misinterpreted what I wrote in my first reply and should go back and reread it. I was not attacking you or your comment. I was merely telling you the reasons why people are so upset with the translation team and that I wish they had adopted more of an understanding, debatable tone with their messages like you have, instead of the petulant bully-like attitude they currently are spewing.
Personally, it takes a lot to trigger me. Normally has to be an in-person thing, but once in a while, i get too far into my head and am blindsided by a manga that doesn't have a trigger warning. And then the night terrors come when I finally fall asleep. It sucks and, even if I skip the chapter or rush through it, sometimes its the first word or the beginning of the scene before you realize what's happening that gets me, not the whole of the scene itself. I don't think what happened in this manga is particularly bad in a graphic sense. This wasn't triggering for me in the slightest. But it could be for some people. To be honest, I far more triggered by the comments of the translators, both inside the manga and directed at the readers. I'm obviously not the only one. So I really don't think it has too much to do with the lack of warning at the beginning of that one chapter, but for the response and the overall tone, language and name-calling from the translators that pissed people off. Its totally inappropriate and uncalled for. They could have just apologized and let it go, or not addressed it at all and none of this would have happened. But no. They had to get defensive in the rudest way possible and act like middle-schoolers.
But yeah, nothing against you. You're fine. (=・ω・=)

Hmm I've read the "ptsd" "trauma" part only, well let me tell you idk

I probably would have gotten a bit pissy if you said "sorry you feel that way", so I can see that I jumped to conclusions just because I read it in a way that was directed at me rather than the topic as a whole. Plus, my anxiety is more to being with people and how they see me so its really just panic as soon as I leave my house, ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Are you a scholar of any kind? Or like aspiring to do something with a lot of writing cause you use a lot of complicated words and its really structured?

Haha. I completely understand the feeling. My anxiety cranks up when I feel as though I'm getting in trouble--even if I'm not actually going to get in trouble or am not at fault.
As for the scholar question: yes and no. I'm working on publishing a book and being a writer as well as getting my degree in psychology. I was going to major in English, but I found that I don't want to teach. I also used to read the dictionary and thesaurus as a kid when I couldn't get my hands on any novels. It impacted my writing style when talking to strangers. I tend to be very formal. I'm far more casual in person or once I've had a few conversations with someone.

Psychology and writing seem like they'd benefit each other, can I ask what type of book it is?

Looks like my Freakin' statement got cut off, well it's fun wasting my time typing that, either way i was tryna say as someone who experience this shit, don't speak for us, we like the effort you put for us but sometimes we don't care were numb and tired af cause of this shitty world. So we love that you think of us but don't use us as an excuse for this

Excuse me. I was not speaking without experience. I suffer with C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, nyctophobia, night terrors and physical medical problems that all stem from abuse and bullying up until I was 23. It was not said without personal knowledge and while some are numb to it, I guarantee you not all are. I remember my numb stage very well. I am no longer in it and it doesn't last forever. And yes, it is very tiring and I don't like misplaced sympathy from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about either. However I do. If you would like my life story to back up my claims of abuse, I have no problems sharing. Just know that I do not speak on subjects upon which I have no knowledge--be that personal or educational. In this matter, I have both.

Ironically, they do compliment each other quite well. I mean, if you come across a psychologist or psychiatrist who is not well-spoken, I would be disinclined to trust that they know what they're talking about. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
My book......well I wrote it after high school (about 12 years ago) to help me through my depression. I had a crazy dream and just went with it. Its a paranormal romance/action about a girl who has a heart condition and finally gets cured and can join society. She doesn't belong to any specific species (vamp, pixie, wolf, etc.) and she's no longer human thanks to the blood transfusions she's undergone to try and cure her. So she's trying to find her place while controlling her instincts, which up until that point had been controlled for her via medication. I have the sequel and sister book about half written. But I start so many other stories I forget to go back and finish them. Lol. Now, however, after three edits and some reviews by others, I have enough money to publish, so I'm thinking that once I draw a cover, I will do just that.

Its sounds really intriguing, honestly, I probably would pick something like that up if I saw it in a shop, mainly for the paranormal part bt the romance sounds like a cherry on top. Good luck with all that and I hope it brings you much happiness (I think i worded that weirdly but I mean the best)

Lol. Thank you. I hope your endeavors bring you happiness as well. Its been nice talking to you

Im sorry that i didn't think that you might have speak with knowledge, is just that i saw someone used "ptsd" and more stuff like that as an excuse to stuff even tho they didn't experience it and i have seen people pointing out that ptsd ect are just great excuse to use And I was piss at those people, then again I'm so sorry i spoke rudely

Hey, I completely understand. I hate it too. Its really irritating. I especially hate when I see comments such as "it's going to be okay", start with "you--yes, YOU", "you're not alone", "there are people you can talk to--just reach out", or my fave--"its just a phase, it'll go away". Or just comments where you can tell they have no idea what it's like. Or they don't have chronic depression, but an episode of depression because of a death, which can be a sort of depression but is in no way along the lines of chronic depression or the same thing in the slightest. They don't understand and they never will. Our "normal" way of thinking is a far cry from those who don't suffer with mental struggles. And its really, really offensive when someone pretends to know what they're talking about and they don't. So I completely understand that you got your back up with my comment. I try to stay formal and objective as much as possible when approaching someone. Formality is rather dead in English, however, so it can be seen as impersonal, cold and pretentious. I get that a lot, actually. Lol

I was wondering that myself!Σ( ￣□￣||) If and when you find out please tell me.(￣∇￣")

i think i know at least two with the same concept tho
