From my understanding, Japanese artists generally have very different views about sharing art than here in the west. Namely, they really don't like it. They tend to want full control over how their works are distributed and to who, to the point where reselling doujin (comics drawn by artists, often fan works of popular series) is a huge taboo. It's generally seen as better to throw out a doujin you don't want anymore rather than resell it. The view tends to be that only the artist has the right to distribute their art, nobody else. And I don't mean "the right" from a legal sense, but rather from a moral sense. I think the reasoning is because if an artist decides for whatever reason that they want to remove their art from the public, they can't if someone else is also distributing their works.

I might be wrong about that, and obviously this won't apply to EVERY Japanese artist, but it's what I've been told by people much more heavily involved in Japanese artist circles than I am. If this is true, I kind of worry NEET author wouldn't be too thrilled about this thread.
Whether or not it's true, it's best practices not to touch the poop anyway. Maybe NEETartist isn't like that but still wouldn't be happy seeing all this translation work/reposting done without permission(I've even seen a few western artists get on the "if you're sharing an artist's work, link to their tweet/whatever instead of rehosting the image" train, although many of them are for different reasons than in your quote). Maybe they'd just be weirded out by a rando DMing them out of the blue with "hey did you know that for the past several years a small group of people have been doing this?". There's a lot more potential downside than upside.

Regardless of the decision, it is rather poignant we have involved so much thinking about a hypothetical scenario in our head and ultimately change or do nothing.

Maybe we are the embodiment of the comic itself. Well I better go get some food then.

Tohru ages well when he does not have to spend a decade in jail but he’s 30 or so. He’s already been a NEET for years prior to this

Lol I completely forgot about that. In my defence he looks younger now compared to the first few panels when he looked way dumpier and more slovenly.
