That Thread about MangaToon

[colinmooredraws]

The "Obscene and violent content" reads more like "anything we don't like"

• "Judges that too many body parts are exposed" doesn't provide any further definition, meaning if you have a character a tanktop and shorts, they can cite this rule to take action.

• What is "violations of ethical behavior"? That could be something as simple as telling a lie. Especially since they list "temptation" alongside incest. That is a HUGE range.

• "Weathered places"??? I do hope that's some really weird translation issue otherwise......what?

• "Violent content." What is the limit? Someone getting slapped is violent.

Honestly, it sounds like they're angling to have only gentle romance or slice-of-life stories.

yeah... i think my comic is going to lose

[Rosso]

Ever heard of "Tap Water Pollution" ?

If this this allowed, everything else is fair game lol.
Also interesting observation:
I think in chapter 3, the mermaid one. On WebComics they censor the "baby" scene and blur out the woman screaming face. But keep a suggestive page of the guy assaulting the woman.

In Mangatoons, the page of him assaulting her is completely removed, but nothing else is censored.

But I'll say this general rule of thumb regardless of platform:
If your comic is popular enough with a huge following, you can get away with a lot of stuff where others will be censored for less, lol.

ok usually i'm ok with gore and assult in fiction but somehow... THAT COMIC fucking bothered the shit out of me....

Edit: WHY DID I GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT AGAIN?!

[Rodimus13]

Anyone know if it's worth doing it?

...I'm already on 3 not sure if I can do another...

[sprite_1ww]

Don't you only need to make the content once and push the updates to the platforms?

[Rodimus13]

We have to make adjustments to size and such plus keeping track since web app wants its stuff earlier and there is the fact that we try to keep up and talk to the fans that comment on all the platforms.

Don't you only need to make the content once and push the updates to the platforms?

It's not that simple. Each platform has different formats and limits. For example, webtoon has width limits and won't do PNG (the default I save my comic in). So they require special formatting every time. Then some require thumbnails, each with different limits, and you can't just add your comic page in. Each platform has a different method of posting. And if you queue up batches instead of doing 1-by-1, you need to track which one goes where. Some have different tagging systems, too.

It's time consuming to make it all decent in the end.

Then there's the question of how are you promoting each platform? Are you cross-linking everything so people can read on their preferred site? Are you participating in the communities to build your visibility? And if you're not promoting it for that platform.....why post there? You'll be drowned out by everyone else's content and it won't be worth the effort to keep posting there.

Great points all around

[BobbyjoeX]

i got a pass from Mangatoon. its not a strict as webcomicsapp i dont think

[BobbyjoeX]

ok how long does it take for them to post after passing?... or is passing a bad thing... like they passed you by?

[cookiety]

I haven't really heard much about them but... This does not look good. They'll have full authorization rights without even having to ask you about it.

[BobbyjoeX]

from what i read, its for advertisement within the website or social media. (tapas has the same rule)

and they have the right to remove your content without warning.

[cookiety]

Yes, but that's another thing. I don't think Tapas owns the right to print your work etc without informing you.

[BobbyjoeX]

well the only one i know for sure thats on there is @ghostmaya so i guess ask them about that? (if they even know?)

[ghostmaya]

I just started just last week so I don't have any clue about that app yet.

[Rizzvatt]

When I went to "Edit comic info" I was told to check some boxes then I was asked to give my my "full name" which will be used as my digital signature and I gave them my penname I use on webtoon instead of my real name because
I wasn't sure if they wanted my penname or my real name.
Has anyone else done the same?

[Rizzvatt]

Also, do they accept any type of comics?
I saw there a comic made in a game called Gacha life which can be found in Play store and appstore

[ghostmaya]

I never tried to apply at website. I emailed them directly.

[BobbyjoeX]

the ammount of attention that comic got threw me in a fit of self loathing yesterday... i'm pretending it doesnt exist...
