Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If you don't know what a scanlator is, it's a portmanteau of scan + translator and is a person or group that scans and translates Manga from Japan.

Online theirs this unspoken rule that scanlators seem to follow of not scanlating if another group is scanlating the Manga.

But the problem is that sometimes you can get stuck with a bad scanlator either from not translating things well or being a horrible human being and inserting that into the translation or just ruining the Manga somehow or some sort of combination of those.

It's why I'm fine with multiple scanlators especially when theirs a bad scanlator ruining things

I support piracy because of the inherent inequality and inequity of capitalism

I'm an egalitarian and I beleive everyone deserves to live with equality and equity

I agree, ppl need to get paid, but its also kinda bs that the rich get infinite entertainment while others get their weekly book if they actually have to pay for it
