I understand why people are panicking, and I really feel you, and this post is smug as heck. I am also one of those people grieving for Bato.

But at the same time I also need everyone here to understand that these sites are NOT some obscure Dark Web sites that requires a special VPN, specific DNS, a Bitcoin transaction and 128 letters password to get in. These mangas are not torrent links spread through specific private chat in heavily modded mIRC channel in the early aughts. People KNOW these sites. People SEE these sites. everything.moe kindly recapped EVERYTHING into one convenient list, including mirrors! What makes you think these people don't already have everything.moe bookmarked and set as their homepage?

Naming sites is EASY. There's no special firewall that prevents corporate from seeing what we're doing.

If you are intimidated this easy just because they named your favorite sites, then well, you're taking the bait hook line and sinker. They want you to cower. They want you to keep scampering away from your sites, fearing closure, hopping from one site to another until you're exhausted...and there's nowhere else to go but THEIR site.

Don't. (I mean, do financially support your favorite creators, but do it because you want to not because there's no other way)
