Jigero:
"I'm a fan of them because they do good work and don't start crusades for no reason other then to further their internet notoriety while disguising it in some pretentious hypocritical asshattery to make them self feel righteous." -- lemme translate that from Jigerish to English: "I'm a true fan of any group that does what I want them to do and doesn't incovenience me any way." Did I get the gist of it? Well, I know it's impossible to convince you that you're being silly and bratty, but everyone else can already see it. Carry on.
"WAIT WHAT!? BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" -- so you don't have a counterargument to put forward? I win this one by default then. Next time, read some sociology textbooks.
"How can you be a decent member of society when your whole ideal is about being a determent to an actual decent member of society." -- this is your claim, not the claim of any mangaka whose manga I translate. If by any chance they feel that my work is detrimental to them, let them say so and I will quit immediately. Their word counts. Yours counts too... but only in your head.
"What you believe and what is fact is two different things" -- you lost the thread of your own argument. You attacked the scanlator community on ethical grounds, and when it comes to that, intentions are of utmost importance. While scanlators' intentions are pure, they hold the high moral ground compared to MF or silly leechers like you.
"Last time I checked neither Publishers nor Mangakas think your helping in any way and only hurting and taking advantage of them." -- last time I checked, none of the mangaka I translate have said anything on the subject. I would recommend that you speak for yourself only. You're full of silly ideas, and it would be a shame if you put them in the mouths of good people.
"Do all scanlators stop scanlating when mangakas ask them to stop?" -- any scanlator I know would stop if requested directly.
"It's like getting a lecture on consensual sex from a rapist." -- remind me, what's the name of the logical fallacy when you attack the messenger rather than the message? Hint: "argumentum ad h______" (fill in the blank)

Stop degrading each other... et cetera.
The thread is about MF and mangahere being the same entity and its policies...
not scanlators/readers/leechers entitlements.
