now that popular manga sites are purging official legal content without a warning what are our alternatives to share obscure manga scans? back to peer to peer shareware? deepweb?
gee, who knows, it sure is a mystery, if only there was some sort of alternative, hnn, hrmmm, harumph
I don't know but hit me up if you need a logo
>>286077012If you acrually cared you would make one yourself
>>286077012They should delete all highschool series that have ecchi which would be about 90% of manga s a whole
>>286077012Fuck off we're full.
>>286077012maybe you should stop jacking off to little kids diddyblud!
>>286077012lmao, trannydex really does get more cucked every day huy
>>286077012Unpopular manga sites.
>>286077012so, uh, a year ago mangadex purged a third of their site because of the massive dmca, and now they're planning to purge another third because they're retards, huh
>>286077227>if only there was some sort of alternative, hnn, hrmmm, harumphI don't get it.
>>286077012They still have hentai doujins btw.
>>286077012>either in appearance (handled on a case-by-case basis)Something tells me this will be completely arbitrary and have much more to do with the jannies' opinions than it will appearances.
>>286078272>much more to do with the jannies' opinionsWell the retards did get doxxed by the major publishers so it's possible they are at risk now, but yeah they've long made it clear they're happy to create new arbitrary rules whenever they feel like it (ever since they started removing chapters from scannies they just didn't like if they put the wrong memes in them and whatnot)
>>286077012What a huge faggot lmao. Americans brains are completely penetrated by the jewish cocks and can't even act like they would be in the nature (Breed with teens)
>>286077702I hope it will get shut down. I hate that their shitty website is appearing on google
>>286078446>ever since they started removing chapters from scannies they just didn't like if they put the wrong memes in them and whatnotqrd?
>>286078608Some scannies were putting in ultra-right /pol/ or ultra-left commieshit memes in their credit pages (chapters were translated fine though). Made the comment sections lulzy with fighting, but mods couldn't handle the bantz so they just banned any political credits.
To think that faggots here used to worship Mangadex and discouraged people to make Goddess accounts before its too late. Niggerdex faggots deserve to suffer.
>>286078682Ah, I thought this would be about the meme translations some scan groups do from time to time outside of April Fool's and whatnot. Yeah, that's annoying.
>>286077012I only noticed today that all the Reincarnated Carrier chapters were nuked off their site. Is this part of that? Do these trannies just decide to create new problems whenever they aren't dealing with external ones or what.
>>286077012It's almost like keeping everything in one centralized location is a bad idea. Remember when every scan group had their own website? Sure, I had dozens of bookmarks, but when something stupid happened, 99% of the shit I was reading was unaffected.
>>286078921It's not part of it, if just the chapters are removed it's a DMCA. This time they're nuking the page for series entirely so it 404s
nyaa, motherfuckers. how is this even a question?
>>286079132OP is retarded, please be patient
>>286077012Every day things get worse.
>>286078890This was the one that really set them off IIRC
>>286079217astoundingly based
>>286079217>got the right plate>got the right make>even got the color of the wunderbaum rightbeautiful attention to detail
>>286077012>we're purging even more content because... it give us the ickGreat strat. I support cuckdex killing their own website slowly.
>>286077012>piracy website >"it's about the law and compliance with it"草草草草草草草草草
>>286077012Anyone got a good Mangadex downloader? I can’t figure out gallery-DL.
>>286077012does mangadex not know cartoon sex isn't considered child porn in the us? you can only get in trouble with obscenity and that doesn't apply to most manga plus isn't even really enforrced anyway
>>286080703They hosted it for years, they know, their jannies have just gotten more and more fagtastic over the years.And don't forget:>No ads, ever!
>>286080703they're just looking for brownie points. it's all performative just like all of the outrage surrounding fictional characters.
How is any shounen or shoujo with even slight fanservice allowed on MD? They should delete it just to be safe.
>>286080985Their goal is obviously just to become some bottom-barrel digital-only licensee like shitroll, so no doubt they will get rid of everything in due course.
>>286077012Does High School DxD count?Is breast groping considered sexual activity?
Mangadex wa oshimai.Anyways, return to torrent, XDCC and RSS feeds of scanlator blogs.There's no future in aggregators hosted on the clearnet given how aggressive these cuntbag companies and "social justice" types have gotten.
we have MAINSTREAM movies, tv shows, and cartoons depicting underage characters in sexual activities.Western anime and manga fans are so fucking goofy now especially after covid.
>>286077012Archiving tanks for future enjoyment. The internet is only getting shittier. I've also been archiving LNs of every slopsekai I can find since I enjoy just how bad they get.
>>286081589Can’t return to somewhere I’ve never been. And torrents are dogshit for manga.
>>286080500they're obviously trying to position themselves for a crunchyroll pivot
>>286081868I'll believe it when I see it. I think it's more likely the site would just die before they do that with how poorly managed they've been the last few years. I don't even know how one goes about that kind of thing though. I know CR did it but MD still has a lot of pirated content that wasn't deleted with the most recent round of takedowns.
>>286081777Torrents are perfectly serviceable for manga, you're just doing it wrong. Probably manually downloading each chapter, which yes, would be extremely painful. You ever see that "RSS" button up the top of nyaa? Use it. It's magical.
>>286081944well, hoping for and succeeding are different things. but i'd say the repeated rounds of "we're a good law-abiding manga site that helps people legally purchase manga from the copyright holders" suggests that they're really hoping that somehow a contract just falls into their lap.
>>286077012Please, PLEASE stop using mangadexThe second they started bending their back at DMCA requests was when it was time to jump shipNot to mention their entire site going down for months and coming back with a shitty UIit's fucking horrible
so what manga did they took down?
>>286082631It's easier to list what they didn't take down
Mangadex is dead for yearsMove on already.Also manga sites should learn not putting SHIThwa on their sites.
>>286082631Noraneko shoujo and few more
>>286077012
>>286082745wtf they can use the fag word?
>>286078446>so it's possible they are at risk nowNo. There's no law in any country on the planet that says you will go to jail if a character in a comic book says they 'had a relationship with a minor'. This is a completely made up nonproblem presented to you in order to get you to knee-jerk shut up and not question their bullshit.
>>286078742>discouraged people to make Goddess accounts before its too lateLook man, I got on madokami in the 1st week it got made and that one was nothing more than a stopgap measure. It was not designed to handle high userbase. Mdex is cancer yeah, but that ftp ain't a cure either.
>>286077012>LOLI MANGA IS A CRIME NOW IT'S THE LAW>Oh yeah btw remember how we updated the T&C's last year to justify handing over uploader info whenever? :^)I hope none of you were retarded enough to keep uploading to it after that wew/lad.Anyway it's been obvious for years now they want to be SFW Fakku, but they're far too retarded to ever accomplish that thankfully. Most they'll become is some 'legit' licensee for billibilli or the such Chinkshit.
>>286083236It doesn't worry me. And if I upload to Mangadex it's scraped by everything else. I could have made a Comick account but look where that went.
>>286083236>>286083309it's over for scanlation. it's all about official rips and magazine raws for me.tankobon raws don't even get ripped anymore
>>286083375>tankobon raws don't even get ripped anymoreIt's ok, just embrace paypiggery on Amazon/Bookwalker/etc.
I'm glad I jumped ship a good while ago already, this is just the circus continuing to circus. Laws are becoming bullshit, manga websites are becoming bullshit. Nothing is real, everything is forbidden. The opposite of the the Assassin's Creed.No one of this new wave of shitty services are getting my money, nor my eyes or my contributions.
>>286083635>I'm glad I jumped shipThere are no other ships though besides uploading to /a/ and nothing else maybe, scene is dead, RIP.
>>286083375watermarked 1920x1080 browser screencaps, packed in vol1-7.zip, nested in vol1-8.zip, nested in vol1-9.zip, nested in vol1-10.zip, alongside 3 other shitty copies (one of them the same exact copy with a different filename) of the same volume in a 3gb raryeah magazines and web rips are all that's left
>>286084100I do see those but you can find good tankouban rips too. it's easy as fuck to rip from Kobo though so I don't know why those shitty ones even exist. It has to be on purpose. But for what reason.
>>286083635I'm glad I learned Japanese.
>>286084199Not anymore.the last dude who uploaded tankobon raws was the .AVIF file extension dude on nyaa.
>>286084234I have the most recent Kill Me Baby volume from late 2024 and while it is watermarked it's 1600p. I also have the most recent Gabriel Dropout volume from late last year that isn't watermarked and is 1920p. So while I think you are mostly right, it's not like good rips don't exist. The quality of that nested bullshit you're talking about varies.
>>286077012>Sexual activity between minorsI missed the moment when this became wrong/amoral/whatever
>>286081981Does anyone younger than 25 even know what an RSS feed is?
>>286077012So what manga go removed because of this new rule.
>>286081981They need to have some make them available first, which generally isn't happening. Don't they not allow new accounts too?
>>286078272I wish they had the balls to actually have principles and remove sexually suggestive manga with underage characters. However we know they never will because they don't actually believe the shit they're saying. They're weak willed losers who just want to arbitrarily remove series they don't like hiding behind the justification of "think of the fictional children!" while defending their totally okay pet series. If they never got dmca'd no shot they would remove popular series like fairy tail. Hell they could show their unshakeable morals right now and remove all the popular isekai reincarnators that become a kid again with their memories intact for supporting "grooming".
>>286085136I wish [...] they remove sexually suggestive mangaYou have to go back.
>>286085342We need to accelerate. Then the next manga aggregator will pop up.
>>286081981>This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.If this is magic then I'm no wizard.
>>286085849Zoomers are truly beyond help.
Ninbros...
>>286085944Millennial, actually. Just never learned this stuff.
>>286086066If you were born in the early 90s and can't use RSS, you're an honorary zoomer.
>>286086081I don't even know what it is.
>>286085451No it won't.
>>286085849>>286085944Firefox used to have a really nice built-in RSS viewer that let you subscribe to feeds straight from the browser. They removed it a few years back to follow Google's lead in killing Reader.A lot of the onus in Zoomers being tech illiterate lies on tech companies making things intentionally harder to use
>>286085451for the most part, everything gets worse. sometimes pleasant surprises happen, but you should not count on it.
DLsite
>>286086305Mozilla and their ilk are evil
>>286086081I only use RSS to protest 4chan and nyaa ban
>>286086305Is there a good add-on to replace it, at least?
>>286077227Anon, stop acting bratty and obscure or we'll have to correct you.
>>286081981I'm trying to learn.So an RSS feed is something that keeps you up to date on whatever sites you want. I guess you can set it up to auto-download stuff too. Am I getting that right? I don't know what it does on Nyaa, see >>286085849, but I guess the idea is it auto-downloads new chapters as they're posted?
>>286081868Pretty sure they've given up on that and they're making it an OEM site eventually. The dex owner already has an OEM site so maybe it's aiming to merge to get the branding of dex.
>>286087034>OEM siteWhat? Original Equipment Mangafacturer?
>>286087065Original English MangaYou already see some of it on the front page under self-published.
>>286087099That's even dumber.
>>286079217Hate how these vermin infest animanga spaces.
Alright what are good tools to grab archives from dex before they're all nuked?I still need to get Danchigai and a few other before dex goes full retard, don't want to lose that one.
>>286087110Old dex owner washed hands after the 2nd shutdown of dex and gave the reins to the owner of NamiComi which is an OEM site.
>>286087150Well that makes it clear then. dex is fucked and we need to stop using it but grab everything we still can
>>286087118I know, nothing worse than power hungry trannyjannies trying to content moderate the scene, be it for politimemes or loli.
>>286087099>>286087150don't know anything about namicomi, but it looks mostly amateur. some of the japanese publishers are venturing into (non-amateur) english originals so it's not like it puts him in a non-competitive position.
>>286087202Nothing wrong with loli. It's an integral part of anime and manga.And there's nothing "political" about being a subhuman waste of oxygen who'd do the world a favour by killing themselves, so stop trying to lump it in with "politics".
>>286087202don't lump in retard "humor" with censorship
>>286087312Controlling what groups can upload is still censorship though, and it's no surprise the same kekold mods that now ban anything ""underage"" are the ones who did that too. Birds of a feather.
>>286079217>rapemanlol of course it's him. That clown's got the sense of a humor of a 13 year old. Thankfully he only translate shitty manga anyway.
>>286087126I've used Hakuneko a while back, it probably still works. Danchigai specifically is on siscans.moe/batches
>>286087447>>286087480I liked Hymen-spear though, and Murenase, and the yukionna one. I miss those threads, was peak /a/, often the thread would even make the meme collaboratively before upload. Maybe 4chan humor just doesn't work for you though and you should consider r*ddit.
>>286087590>batchesLove you anon
>>286087416>>286087620Fuck, this cockroach and its "fans" are insufferable. Glad it got squashed by the mangadex mods.Fuck the loli censorship, though.
I love this song!
>>286082721Why the fuck did they take it down when there are more hardcore loli works in there?
>>286082745What? I've used and spotted 4chan lingo there plenty of times. Only time I ever got redacted was for spoiling an upcoming chapter.
>>286087669>Glad it got squashed on this now barely relevant site where the mods are still total anti-loli fags though, with half their catalog self-deleted also due to lack of opsec and getting doxxed by publishersCurse of Rapeman never fails. Every site seems to die or end up on life support not too long after they ban him. Batoto and Mangafox died within the year after, then MD got hombre'd and was never the same. Guess the moral of the story is don't cater to fags and trannies.And if I remember the comment section right this one also caused a lot of butthurt at the time
>>286081981but scanlators only have download links on discords
>>286081981>Probably manually downloading each chapterEven automated that's going to clog up your torrent list. It makes more sense for magazines since you don't read hundreds of them and they release at high enough frequencies to bother setting up a feed/filter.
>>286087818They need a mass Kirk treatment. They're getting far too comfortable these days infesting every corner of the internet.
>>286087871>>286087860It's true and it's the only board still making OC. If you want a /pol/-free space though, again, reddit is right there (doubtlessly already open in your other tabs)
This is the laziest discord raid I have ever seen.
>>286087803This is notable. Discord is about to start requiring ID to go anywhere it deems inappropriate, which is incredibly broad. Even if you want to just download the stuff and leave, that likely won't be an option without doxing yourself.
>>286087893>/pol/>making OCI don't even. You and I both know that's utter bullshit, or perhaps you have a very low bar for what qualifies as OC rather than being garbage shitposts.
>>286087917anyone who moved their shit to a platform like discord in the first place was already a retard, but zoomers have no sense so they'll just move to telegram next and be shocked when something happens
>>286077012>back to peer to peer shareware?>back toLook at this normalfaggot! Look at him and laugh!
>>286087947What's the deal with telegram anyway?Is there any good noncuck chat platform other than I guess session or xselectchat?
>>286087967irc
>>286078682RIP Rapeman
>>286087917i live in the netherlands nobody cares unless you redistribute.but how can i set up an RSS on discord?how can i easily find the manga i need over 100 different discords.
>>286088008I spent so much time on irc, but then all the groups moved to discord or slack or wherever and itr just wasn't the same.
>>286088131Raws are harder to find than eop slop, so now he has two problems
>>286088031He's still active it seems on BU with /ak/, though last release was a while ago
>>286088008Is there a way to make the irc protocol more secure?
>>286088158Basically everything translated has public raws out there, maybe not collated nicely always though. Except hentai that only has Chink or Korean releases, those fuckers hoard their raws, bunch of greedy fags
>>286088205There's tons of hoarding in Japanese releases, maybe there are some secrit discord clubs I'm not aware of though. There's a lot already out there, but the future trend seems pretty bad as far as I can tell.
>>286088158>>Raws are harder to find than eop slopOnly for faggots refusing to support the creators.
>>286088248I see very few releases of anything these days that isn't a digital mag-rip that's on DLsite/anywhere else already, or just gets time-limited free releases on official publisher sites. It's funny they still call it scanlation when scanning maybe happens for 0.1% of stuff these days.
>>286088256Correct. Problem?
>>286088205Public raws are terrible quality compared to the original digital versions. Nobody with taste is going to read them.
>>286088304>Nobody with taste is going to read them.These are EOPs we're talking about, they'll eat whatever slop they're given 99% of the time.
>>286077012What the fuck happened to Mangadex considering the founder originally was a yuri hentai scanlator?
>>286077012>22.58T used, 51.91T freeThat's a lot of manga to read.
>>286088464The same thing that happens to other organizations or parties when they get big: they sell out, bend the knee etc.
>>286088464He let unironic, literal trannies be admins, and then left the site. What did you think was going to happen?Not that the mods here are much better, qq and report harder r*ddit newfriends
>>286088464The path from community service to professional leech always involves disavowing your dark past and showing commitment to making sure no one repeats your social injustices.
>>286077012You're not going to tell me there isn't an archive torrent already out there.
>>286077012Told you we should've gatekept manga but noooo
I think the USA has been the single worst thing to ever occur in history
>>286088596Some tried with the /pol/ memes to keep normalfags out, but how do you really gatekeep a digital product that can be shared infinitely?
>>286086871fuck you, shitty old adult, I can run circles around your geriatric ass, what are you gonna do, scold me to death?
>>286088596> gatekept Learning moon is the only true gatekeeping. If you didn't already learn moon, you'll be among those getting kept out too.
>>286088735And paying for manga. That also keeps a lot of leeches at bay.
>>286088735I'm concerned that as the licensing industry continues to grow, more Japanese storefronts are going to make it harder for foreigners to give them money, telling them to go pay the licensees instead.
>>286088695>*Blocks your path*
>>286088791Gatekeeping foreigners is literally just one step up on the gatekeeping foodchain. Bypass the gate or git out.
>>286088791Even then, just get your friends in Japan to buy it with their JCB or whatnot card worst case and pay them back in cash when you see them next.You DO have friends on the moon that you visit at least once a year or so right?
>>286088791I haven't seen any of that aside from fringe cases like FAKKU/Komiflo. Kadokawa's Bookwalker has a Japanese and an English version side by side (and a related Taiwanese one) and you can use the Japanese one from outside of Japan without problems.Kobo has a unified system across a whole bunch of different countries.DLsite directly sells translations next to the originals.Even where geoblocks exist you can typically circumvent them via VPN.
>>286088596This has nothing to do with gatekeeping, nobody's stopping you from making another manga hosting site like mdex that has full res uploads and allow groups to upload directtly.
>>286088931>manga hosting site like mdex that has full res uploads and allow groups to upload directtlyWell that would be a site unlike mdex considering half the manga out there, and probably 75% of the popular shit, is now forbidden content on it due to DMCAs, or other general admin faggotry. Who gives a shit about >le hi res, when all you're allowed to upload is chinkshit
>>286088931>nobody's stopping youThat's illegal and you can get into trouble for it.
>>286077012Ahahaha this “minor” buzzword is so hilarious.I once talked about this on the Bato.to discord and the admins said they didn't allow sex scenes with “minors” in it and I had to point out to them that when you simply searched for the tag “shoujo” that 1/3 of the results featured it in some capacity. Mainstream magazines like Sho-Comi and Cheese very regularly feature 15-17 year old characters having sex.Or like this Tumblr blog for erotic fanfiction about Diabolik Lovers which claims to refuse to publish anything featuring “minors”, ehh... cool, but the protagonist of the franchise that's featured in 90% of your fiction is 17 years old... that's a minor.It's so hilarious how people just use this word everywhere in this without realizing what it means and what they're doing. I can guarantee you Mangadex is full of shit with “minors” having sex in it.
surely mangadex jannies haven't just this moment figured out that their site is full of H-manga?
>>286089070It's just ambiguous grounds to say "if we like it, it's fine, if we don't like it, you're morally wrong"
>>286089103Shit are they purging the porn?There's stuff on there that's not even on panda because they forgot about it.
>>286089103Pretty sure it was their own original mods that uploaded half of the loli stuff that was there, and a lot of the old rapeman chapters ironically too when the site was first made. Such backtracking is usually a sign of an impending sell-out.
>>286089134Maybe it's just advertisers who are fine with copyright infringement but draw the line at fictional minors.
>>286089115Yeah I know, I talked on discord with those admins of Bato.to and it was hilarious how they were all coming with different “definitions” on what they removed and it was pretty clear they made them up on the spot and they never gave the issue thought before.r/joseismut at least is pretty clear, they demand ‘late teenagers” in their definition whose secondary sex charactaristics are “developed” rather than “developing”. I mean it's obviously still a bit vague but at least they have a clear idea of what they're searching for rather than this “minor” buzzword that everyone who uses it then promptly ignores.>>286089174I deeply regret having learned Japanese and consider it a waste of time not worth it, but I'm honestly so glad I'm completely out of this entire “scanlation" scene at times like this and it no longer has any impact on me what these websites do.
>>286089220>I deeply regret having learned Japanese and consider it a waste of time not worth itWhy? I think it's the most valuable non-work-related skill I've picked up. Studying abroad on the moon for a year was the best part of my uni life, and going back multiple times a year is still fun (even with the ever growing tourist hordes), but wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable if I didn't speak the language there.
>>286089260Oh and of course all the untranslated VNs, so many good ones that have no TLs, or only some MTL-sloppa patch.
how do we make loli legal globallydo we need to kill all white children. Sure this would have some negative effects but at least we could read manga online without issues.
>>286089260Because it cost a lot of time and I could've learned many other things in that time like probably two languages instead of one. “having learned” is also a bit of an embelishment I guess. I'm still “learning” though I'm watching ヒカルの碁 now and I can understand pretty much anything without any dictionary or subtitles of any form but that's the issue. I just end up spending my time consuming utterly mediocre fiction to improve I would never consume otherwise.I guess the difference is that I'm really never going to Japan and have no intentions to so I just use it for fiction and chatting online with some people.
>>286087447the "joke" isn't funny. people losing their shit over is is.
>>286087780Best Scanlation Group:1. Rapeman2. Chillock3. SSSSS4. Wild Fang...100001. K*reiCake
>>286077012I can't believe we actually have a mod that's way worse than Zephyrus the divorced cuck.
>>286089346>I'm really never going to JapanAfter having visited 20~ or so other countries, can easily say Japan beats most of them on most fronts from cleanliness, to food, to tourist friendliness, to transport, to historical and natural beauty. Unless you just have no interest in going overseas I don't know why anyone would pass it up. Going back for the 17th time myself in a couple of months.>consuming utterly mediocre fiction to improve I would never consume otherwise.I mean, if you don't like Japanese media, it is an odd language to learn. But the breadth of the country's output is very wide, if you don't like shounen-sloppa, go read Yukio Mishima or Miyazawa Kenji or Dazai or something in the original text.Or some of the amazing NTR eroge out there, god I love this language.
>>286089411"We" as in?If you're referring to /a/, we have decent moderation, all things considered.
>>286089346Not that anon, but maybe it's time to stop viewing your hobbies and the friends you meet (albeit online) as wastes of time. You're a human being too, you need fun and friends.
>>286089461we got a live action NTR chibireviews thread to bump limit yesterday
