What is so bad about fansubs? What is so bad about fansubs?



Because there's official simulcasts and they're partners of MAL. And because makes no sense to be there anyway. It's not like that will stop people to go to fansubs, it's just to reinforce a position Because there's official simulcasts and they're partners of MAL. And because makes no sense to be there anyway.

the fansub sections had years and years of data for old shows that never got any sort of official english release, that informed you on what release would be best for you. the fansub sections had years and years of data for old shows that never got any sort of official english release, that informed you on what release would be best for you.

And there's a lot of stuff like that where it's the only way to access it, especially for older stuff and more obscure stuff that's kept in the database. And I'm sorry, but I'm not exclusively a seasonal watcher and I could find some use for that from time to time.



But it's just kind of not important at the same time, honestly. I can still find fansubbed versions of stuff when I need to, and this doesn't impede that whatsoever. I'm just not a fan of the reason, because it seems pretty vapid and shallow to remove it because of some miniscule form of advertisement for non-official releases existing (which is what I take away from the bit about "supporting the industry"), even when those are the only way to access a huge number of works in the DB.



It was harmless, pretty much, and the purging of useful things because of something so minor kind of reminds me of CR's anti-piracy fetish cult they're ostensibly trying to develop. They might not even be/probably aren't even involved though, but just the traces of that dumb crusade being kind of present here makes me a bit unhappy with the decision.
