@Sundarpiccha Then, we will have the expected "Konna no hairanai yo!", followed by "Yamete kudasai!"...

Using accents on first vowel/letter is the best method, IMHO...

@Neil Groves Honestly, I can't even relate to the idea of being "disturbed" by fiction - that's the Gen X superpower, and Gen Y/Z weakness. If I don't like something (BL included), I just don't read it. End of story.

I only care about one thing: is it LEGAL to publish in its country of origin or not? That's the real line. For the rest, here's the deal: if you're not prepared to face a foreign culture that might clash with your personal sensibilities, then STAY INSIDE YOUR OWN CULTURAL BUBBLE AND STOP WHINING.

You're free to dislike it, drop it, ignore it, even criticise it - sure. But once you start talking like a missionary about what "shouldn't be drawn", you're no longer protecting anyone. You're just projecting your hangups on a culture that NEVER asked for your approval in the first place.

You don't have to like what they make. Just don't pretend your discomfort is some kind of moral compass.

Judge one thing: percentage of the image covered. Many manga manage censorship with at least one brain cell - mosaics, "magic light", anything but a big lazy black bar.

If more than 1/3 of the panel is covered, drop the panel. Faster.

Drawings aren't children. You don't call PETA when the MC guts a monster, you don't call Human Rights for a fictional victim, and you don't scream "DV/SA" across 99% of BL.

Apply the same rule here. I'm not pro child pòrn, but let's be clear: the only thing that's real is the censor's laziness.

@sgrey Even worse: sometimes they're censùred, sometimes not. Full inconsistency...

@Mu Abd Bro, you're on ch.13 and suddenly acting like you just realized what kinda manga this is? LMAO! If it's so horrible, why the fùck are you still reading? You don't get to binge a drawn story and then cry "think of the children" like some brain-dead NPC.

Nobody's asking to see "kids", you mòron. The beef is with the laziest censòrship possible - big black blocks slapped over half the fùcking art with zero effort. No blur, no creative framing, no bubbles, just Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V black squares like a drunk intern did it in Paint.

If you can't tell the difference between critiquing shìtty editing and being a pèrv, maybe don't comment at all. Or better: close the tab, go wòke-scòld somewhere else, and stop pretending you're morally outraged after reading 13 chapters. 🐑

@anon You just exposed the core issue without realizing it. You defend the MC by saying "they get paid", "they can leave", "he can do what he wants". That's a classic corporate cop-out: as long as the contract is fulfilled, there's no moral weight, no responsibility. But here's the truth: economic dependence isn't freedom. It's the exact opposite.

You admit the blonde is dependent on that salary. So no, she can't just leave. She has no leverage. She's stuck working her a** off for a guy who couldn't care less. He gives her crumbs while burning piles of cash on useless artifacts like a manchild with a gacha addiction. And you call that independence? That's not freedom - that's neo-feudalism wearing a silk glove.

This guy lives off others. Not by stealing, but by making them invisible. He doesn't oppress - he lets them submit. He offloads responsibility, expects loyalty, and gives nothing in return but cold indifference and the luxury of his detachment.

Now let's talk about that deleted message. "The guy is dead so who cares". Really? That's your bar? The MC knowingly erases a message from a valuable artifact - something that could've boosted his reputation, opened social doors, brought him benefits without compromising anything. He destroys it out of pure apathy. Or worse: pride. And you applaud that?

This isn't a genius. He's not a self-made man. It's an aristocratic slùt for comfort, wearing the mask of an independent soul. He doesn't carry his own weight - others do it for him while he pretends to float above them all. And you relate to that? Maybe because you'd love the perks of superiority without ever earning the burden of leadership.

He's not a role model. He's a passive narcissist, coasting on the labor of people who don't have the luxury to walk away. And what you're praising here isn't freedom - it's well-dressed parasitism.
