[Locked] FAKKU State of the Union 2016

Your telling me that you have never downloaded anything illegal? Because if you have you are now a hypocrite.

I create a new account to merely reply to you Dashiell because there was some next level idiocy being spouted by you. Here we go...


Of course you will be getting downvotes for talking bullshit like now, your post reeks of willing ignorance to the point that calling you troll is right.
Others getting downvotes is natural too, we've got 1st (2nd) opportunity to actually make English never censored hentai happen on wide scale and some shitty brats are whining that they don't want to support that? They're going to get crushed by reality once parents will stop giving them money and they learn what hard work is.


Before you assume what it was about, hows about you ask me why I was downvoted? Hmm? No? You'd rather assume something than know the real reason? Okay...lets go from that, shall we?



...and that's why Jacob asked Wani to become legitimate English publisher the second opportunity arise rather than closing the site or going underground like the rest, he could do that easily but he wanted to support artists.


There were many different scanlations uploads on Fakku for many years before this change happened, they literally built their fanbase on the backs of people like LWB, were these groups merged into Fakku? All of them? Nope, find that hard to believe. So - and this is the hard part for you I'm guessing - if you build a framework of free content around the work others primarily do, then say you're going corporate and not thank and pay each of the scanlators for the time and effort they put in to their work that built your framework, you are stealing from them. You didn't build the framework, the people who did the work that brought people to your site did.



WHAT. THE. FUCK.
I could ask you for examples but I know that you don't have any.
I could ask you for scans comparable to Fakku quality but you won't find any other than with H-Project/Fakku sticker because nothing compares to original files from publisher.

You seem to have really misunderstood something in this, I've given you examples previously, if you'd like to read them,go ahead. (oh and btw, its not about quality, its about what brings you to the site, porn in this instance)


You're stupid or something? (Don't bother I know the answer)
You can't make business with publisher while pirating their work behind their back.
You're just another of these whinny kids that has no comprehension of real world, cutting out the toxic part of community that always made us look bad for Japanese companies is the best thing they could do.


I am saying that if you want to go legit, you have to hire translators and editors and people to do the heavy lifting for you. Yes that is true, but if you have built a business based on free content and then just say "free content is gone, it used to be here but it's not anymore. kthxbai.

You are insulting and demeaning your fans by doing this.

If you want to go legit, then explaining that as the pay site goes live, this site will stop updating and end at (XX.XX.XX) and let that new site be redirected to after the old site shuts down on the old url.

Don't simply say there's a change and do it. You're insulting the people who make you money from adverts.


There are 2 legitimate sites selling hentai, anything else is just pirates cashing out on someone else's work.


You seem to think that I'm on about sites like Fakku, I'm not. You want original hentai level content, have a look at the comic "the rock cocks" or take a trip over to Patreon and search "Anna Cherry" there's two and they're original creators who are very good at what they do.



The why aren't you doing so oh Mr. RIGHTEOUS? You can import doujinshi from Japan online, you can ask people in Japan to buy you mangas of choice on cons and sent it to you for small fee, why aren't you doing so? Because you're just trying to justify being pirate, that's why.


I have just pointed to 2 different original creators.
If you are so hell bent on defending Jacob and Fakku, so be it, but they don't care about you at all, they only see you as a Dollar symbol, it's self-evident with the way Fakku went - over night - from a free site to a pay site without even batting an eyelid about it.

Like I said before, if they wanted to go to a pay-site model, let them do that without anyone stopping them. But don't use the site you are currently running for FREE and turn it into a pay site, you'll just piss off a lot of people.


Ayyy LMAO sure whole staff is working for free, that's what all adults dream off and if they refuse Jacob will come to their house in his nazi uniform to kill them. /facepalm

The word you're looking for is 'an idiot' and that's you.

You once again seem to have missed the entire point. Fakku built itself on what you are saying are pirates with illegal scanlations, like LWB, Nakayohi, Great Acta and others of similar longevity. These people haven't been absorbed into Fakku as they are still working independently on their own sites - if this was about legality, Fakku would have them shut those down to stop the links to any illegal activity - they were used to build a fanbase, then told to fuck off, they have their own artists, writers, translators and editors now, they don't need them and will not supply their translations.

Fakku would not have the notoriety to do this if it weren't for the groups who did "illegal" translations as you put it. They would not have a site.

And no way to have the easy transition to pay-site without them.

It's stealing from the translators and editors hard work.

Have a dumbed it down enough for you now?
That is why I have said I won't help and find this change wrong.

Jesus Freaking H Christ....

Then why not scrub the site that has the "bad" history to it, start fresh with a splash page saying "due to reasons beyond our control, we have blah blah blah" with a link to the new pay-site?

Ease? Yes.
Helpfulness? No.

Any established company would also be skeptical of a business with a bad rep as well even now fakku still suffers from it we still don't know how much of a stable increase fakku has or if it even does.

Books naturally come in and don't forget some of them are older books not just released.
4th magazine is great depending on what it is if its just the same as the ones before its not much of a gain.
New employees have barely been hired its been a while since then.
Ehhh i take this one with a grain of salt sure boshi and a few others but cmon its mostly just a standard thanks that most artist would say its not like im asking for more but its not like fakku did something that amazing for them.
True but what's the difference from regular magazine updates, these just end up getting lost after a while to the regular updates.
They really need to advertise more or better or something currently most of their social media is terrible, like they don't advertise well at all.

I always thought the change from being one if not "The" biggest pirate site to a legit site was funny. It's kind of like watching a kid from harlem make it big then give the finger to his roots when they ask "Wtf?". Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see the site turn a new leaf because the quality being put out is better and while I'm not even sure if I've ever posted on the forums I did support Bosshi and will probably buy the second newish book that I see was released as well.

Some of you Jacob fanbois though really need to take a step back and jump off that morale high horse you're on. This site gained its infamy because it was a pirate site. Fakku would be nothing without those like minded people the same ones who come in here complaining about not having free content anymore. The same ones I see a few regular posters look down their nose at. You dont get to give a few atta boys and somehow the misdeeds of the past just go away. While you're standing up there getting praise don't forget who made you and gave you the opportunity to even make it this far, even if you don't agree with them now. The holier than thou attitude is just as annoying as the alts who come in here to say how much the site sucks now.
