otaku31 here. Reporting live from Mangadex. The comments section of Chronicles of Heavenly Demon is drowning in frenzied chants of Hail Hydra. Leechers and lurkers have gathered in large numbers to protest against the tyranny of C&D and to assert their right to free reading. HAIL HYDRA!!! Spoiler: Status of other manhwas For the uninformed: Solo Leveling, A Returner's Magic and Red Storm hv been picked up too.
What's this "Hail Hydra"? Since I don't read that manhwa. But well, that's what I said already. Manga Community is Dang Too Big now that just a DMCA or a C&D notice won't really matter much. More like, it's only serve to "transfer" the translation "rights" from 1 group to another group. You can do it for the Novel Community, since it's still new and small, but for Manga and Anime....the "Pirates" and "Members" will only smirk and laugh at the notice. If even Licensed stuffs still get "freely" translated by different groups or posted easily in aggregator sites, then DMCA and C&D are only a joke.
...mm, I hope they move out of Mangadex soon. Mangadex is not like 4-chan so Holo might be forced to take stuff down if it catches the ire of the authorities.
There's a literal image of a sub Reddit thread with users saluting in unison with two iconic words. Starting from the first user quoting how Hydra agents emphasizes their ideology. Yes, it's the one and only Hydra in Marvel Cinematic Universe. As they said, "Cut off one head, two more shall take it's place. Hail Hydra!" *salutes*
Dang, I finally know the meaning of why people said those things about cutting off Hydra heads. So it's a meme.
As they said, "Cut off one head, two more shall take it's place. Hail Hydra!" *salutes and dies for blood and honor*
Cut off one head and two will take their place. It's basically what u said about the cycle of dropped manhwas being picked up by others, C&D be damned.
What makes the context even more fun, is that Meraki scans announced they would be dropping, but Ikeram or Ikarem (not sure which) scans would be picking them up
Basically, it's just discount "Heil Hitler" but with an actual skeleton being bent on world domination.
I think meraki never dropped it after picking it up. But usually only posted it at their website first. You have to wait if you want to read it at mangadex
Sitting in front of their computers while furiously spamming the same comment thinking they can change the situation. Laughable.
