Everyone knows that certain mangaka trace, its basically an open secret in /h/
Wonder if any big time mainstream mangaka has been caught and faced the consequences because it looks like its only ever the doujin authors:
>Gerupin (MInazuki Juuzou): traced actual cheese pizza >Tamagoro: traced Gerupin >Pija: traced Inoue >HIgashiyama Shou: literally copy-pasted body parts >Senke Kagaro: tried to lay low >Salad, Kanyapyi, Okada Kou, Akazawa Red: continues to this day >Rustle: the go-to "meme" tracer
And not a single consequence was had that day. Why is this relevant?

A lot of countries in Asia are still drug-phobes
They even consider marijuana as an evil weed

Tracing is pretty common practise for anime backgrounds, but it's okay because the studios will often trace based on photographs they take themselves.
When you trace based on material that you didn't create, that's plagiarism. Also when you trace cp that's just an extra level of wrong.

>tracing. I've never seen proof or any means to highlight such accusations other than someone simply saying something with nothing to back it up.
Also, tracing is not using reference picture and poses. huge difference.
