What do you think about scanlation groups continuing a series if it becomes licensed / gets an official translation? Should fan scanlation continue if an official release becomes available?

⚪️  Yes, it's not a problem
⚪️ No, it's unacceptable / unethical
⚪️ If the official release is too slow, then yes
⚪️ Only if the official release is not available online
⚪️ It's okay so long as the scanlation release has a lower image quality

What is the criteria set for a work that you would recommend it to others?

• good plot
• your enjoyment
• good character design
• etc

How many of the manga you read as scanlations do you actually buy? (paper/digital)

• 0%
• <20%
• <40%
• <60%
• <80%
• <100%

How old were you when you started reading manga?

-7 and under
-8-12
-13-18
-19-25
-25+

Quote from Lisj

Have you ever gone abroad?

• Yes, several times
• Yes, but only once
• No, never

As someone living in a huge country, traveling abroad can be quite expensive/take really long etc. I've always seen going abroad as something exceptional so I'm curious as to how many people see it as a common thing.

Quote from icassop

How do you prefer scanlations to be translated?

• Traditionally translated by a person
• Machine-translated (f.ex. google translate, deepl, etc.)
• I don't care.

I guess branching off of the current poll, I know there are non-English scanlation groups retranslate from English scanlations and vice-versa. And there are multiple manga I know are only being translated in English because there are prominent Chinese and Korean scanlation groups that have the manga more readily accessible online. There is the same concern of "loss of the deep inner meaning, what the author TRULY intended to say, and the intricacies of the language" but I feel like this is not considered as much when people retranslate from other languages (hell, the scanlators of one of my favorite webtoons, Man Drowning in a Veil, didn't even realize it was originally Korean when they picked it up, and used the Japanese names until recently)

"Opinion on retranslating from scanlations in a language other than the original series' language?"
Yay
Nay
Depends on the language
Indifferent

Not sure if this hasn't been done before (sorry if it has):

If you could choose what you want to be reincarnated as, would you choose to be born as:

• a man (I'm a man)
• a man (I'm a woman)
• a woman (I'm a man)
• a woman (I'm a woman)

Additional options like "an animal", "neither" etc. can be added, but will spoil the result. Why? Because if you take any group of people in my country and ask them this question with these options, you usually end up with the same result (won't spoil what that result is). I'd like to see if you get the same result on an international level 🙂

Quote from Ceiye

Or for one with probably more substantial discussion
When playing a game with customization, how do you customize your character?
-Default Character or like the "canon" character if there is one
-Like yourself
-How you wish you would look like
-Whatever looks good or fits your aesthetic
-An existing or original character
-Randomize!
-Depends on the game
-What customization?
