Okay, let me see if I have this straight: Any original doujinshi done by artists Fakku works with (and obviously original manga) are fine, but we're gonna lose the parody doujinshi (stuff for series that already exist, e.g. Bakemonogatari, Infinite Stratos, Is It Wrong to Try and Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon)?

Not gonna lie, that's a downer.

hey Jacob, I love your site and all, but with all these tags and content being removed with no news, I'm really frustrated. Tbh I can't get off without fakku, and my favorite stuff is all gone. What's happening?

Do that and people will want the matching gangsta loli hat to go with it.

Randomly noticed this in both my favorites and collections - Imperfect Family and Perfect Family show up as just Imperfect and Perfect. They do have correct titles on the PuniKano page, but the actual chapter pages (and their URLs) are missing "Family" at the end.

Honestly? Most of us had no idea content was being removed. There was no front page post before shit started going down. Even when we got one its like, OH HEY WE ARE REMOVING ALL THE STUFF YOU LOVE SO YOU CAN PAY. I have frequented this site for 6 years, and given it loads of my time and plenty of my money. And yet, all the content I came here for is being removed. The big steps you have for the site includes removing most of the reasons people came here.

You can start with making it clear, somewhere, prominently, what happened to the missing tags (that it's a bug that isn't getting fixed anytime soon) and assure people that

A) they'll be back

B) they'll still get content (very unlikely at this point, because licensed works is not where most of the content for the controversial tags comes from, and you can easily see this in most any magazine you plan to currently publish where content is skewed heavily towards a very specific genre: big boobs and vanilla)

Because it's kinda sad that this post is the only time the tags were addressed, which is buried in a different topic, on a late page, not from you and not an announcement.

Whats going to happen with the groups/translators using a fakku.net adress like Phoenix Syndicate or CGrascal? Would going legit affect there place here at all?

I honestly thought you were avoiding certain question topics altogether on purpose, seeing as you'd cherry pick easy to answer questions that can be answered with "Trust me, the future is bright!" and answers to paywall questions. ESPECIALLY given the fact that your refusal to answer certain questions was pointed out numerous times by numerous people, particularly in the last thread, before it was split off. You didn't even respond to those who called you out on it. The questions, if answered, were answered, not by you, but by people who defended you and your cause. While that's not bad, I would've really loved a straight answer from you. You're a very slippery person when it comes to questions.

But now that you're asking, I have my own questions. I apologize if these has already been answered before.

Why were "controversial" tags removed first? It was very, VERY shifty in my eyes when you first put it on as mandatory if a person did not have an account. Rather, people should have had to make an account to BLOCK tags, not UNBLOCK them. It felt to me that you prioritized the convenience of people who hated the controversial content over those who were fine with it.
Buuuuut I'm getting carried away here. I made an account, I turned on the options, I got over it. But this.... This is hard to forgive. ESPECIALLY with your weak justifications. You could have EASILY warned us. And why start with controversial content to begin with? Of all the tags.... You didn't even choose one to begin, you wiped it ALL out. I'd like a straight, detailed explanation so I don't have to believe you were okay with punching my favorite tags out for the masses.

Second, you never explained, not ONCE (please provide a quote if I'm mistaken, if so I'm very sorry) to anyone on the forums why there was no warning. Every reply I've seen by you has been about Fakku's amazing future and how you'll try your best to help those without enough money to pay(I was actually very pleased to hear this bit). I would like a clear, lengthy explanation to your unwillingness to consider Fakku's daily visitors and how they'd take the news.

While I'm very happy for the advancements of Fakku, I can't just meekly sit back while my favorite and most frequented site takes away my favorite tags and doujins, especially with no clear explanations or justifications. I really want to think the best of Fakku, honestly. This is just hard to take and you're not lubing it up very nicely with your lacking justifications.

(Sorry for this tank of a conment, I just had a lot to say after reading so many pages of comments qq)

Jacob, you really are failing all of your fans here. We have asked for clarity and have gotten none. Most of us are planning on leaving the site and yet you post NOTHING to help us not do that. Really, most of us will leave because we feel you are now a sell out.

You should really just present the option at user registration or in the moment the user first encounters a controversial chapter. Then, have users agree to a TOS with some sort of indemnity clause to protect the site and place the legal onus on the them to interpret their own country's laws. At the very least, just leave the blocked-by-default for places where you're certain there are issues like the U.K. And if they have opted to keep it hidden, for personal taste, personal legal concerns, or in the event that this site is legally obligated to do so, then you should be more transparent when you have to censor things. Like, instead of 'Content does not exist' (which is totally a lie), display something like 'This work contains controversial content and has been blocked per user request. You have shit taste. To re-enable go to https://www.fakku.net/users/mspaint-6653013/books and click 'Send Gift'' while displaying exactly what was blocked and why. Or in some circumstances, 'This work has been blocked in your country. Get a better country.' This is the most honest approach to censorship since it gives the consumer awareness of the situation. It's like what they did to the Nazi Scenes in that South Park game for Germans.

I am soooooooooo hyped right now,
Toe concert on Thursday, AX on Friday.
Can't wait to meet up with ya'll again!

THAT 80's FAKKU DESIGN THO, IF THATS A SHIRT I'MA BE ALL UP ON THAT.

Yo save me a figure too!! lol

Can you give a clear answer as to why doujinshi is being removed when it doesn't harm the industry at all? This isn't a case about them being unlicensed but harmful. I honestly do not get why they are being removed.

i will be buying some for the first time, any advice on what my excuse is if someone i know sees me buying hentai?

So, to ask the question that's been asked many times over, will there be similarly made free works for the mass public? Or is the entire site going to be on a paid subscription for the mags? And if it's not going to be like that at first, is there any way we can get free hentai from Fakku ever again?
