Realistically I doubt the backlash will stop them from moving that way quietly once the controversy dies down.

Media Do acquiring Seven Seas with the intent of making it a shitty ai operation is the worst comics news of the decade, fuck this.

so this is what i missed today.... great.

anyway, don't purchase ai slop and tell them you won't. ai does NOT save time and it scams you of what could have been reliably worked on books while charging you for crap. they only care about $$ so spend it elsewhere. sorry my 7S colleagues... this sucks.

I think all members of the US government that are either cheerleading or staying silent about this war of aggression should have to serve in the front lines of it

"I hope you die" is weak. "I hope that obscure Japanese-only game you wanna play gets a fan translation done entirely by ChatGPT" is way more hurtful. It's real. It could happen to anyone.
