How do you feel about scanlators complaining about getting snipped?

What waste?
Tyler Murphy
Their egos.

You sound really new to the scanlator drama world then

Quality and consistency is the only thing that matters to me. So, when a low quality "I'm doing this to talk with my friends" human waste group with a google translator tier trasnlations does a couple of chapters and the 'official' groups decides to skip those because they are already "made", then I feel mad about it.

The shorter the delay between the sniper and original scanlator, the more I feel sympathetic towards the scanlator. If the scanlator was good usually.
The time they could have spent fapping has been spent translating something which has already been translated.

Drama over sniping can get pretty wild. Like OP is tepid as fuck compared to literal meltdowns that have happened.

Scanlators should have some semblance of a schedule or of regular releases though. Like I want to read Witch Hat Atelier and I appreciate that anyone is doing it at all, but I read other series that are translated within a week of the chapter coming out while it's usually months between WHA translated chapters. Sometimes there's breaks which isn't an issue but the scanlators generally don't make any note of breaks and the only other way to figure out really is to drudge through the mangaka's Twitter or the magazine's Twitter.

As someone who's been following Shuumatsu no Valkyrie for months now, I can provide some context here:
>latest chapter came in Monthly Comic Zenon on the 23rd
>highly anticipated chapter with the start of a new arc (Jack the Ripper vs. Hercules)
>LQ raws are dumped on Yea Forums
>a good user makes a quick shitty tl so other anons can get the gist of the chapter
>some wop decides to take the shitty tl without any proofreading and do a quick ts
>releases it on mangadex under his group's name (Kingdom Italia) rather than "no group" or "Yea Forumsnonymous"
>meanwhile, Valhalla (the group who's been doing the series consistently) is waiting for the HQ raws, which come at the first of each month
>ff to today and the venting in OP's pic
It's understandable why they'd be pissed off since they've been giving consistent updates as soon as they can, and since the guido was pretty damn lazy in "making" his tl. Though that doesn't really excuse Valhalla's entitlement, since everyone knew they'd be doing the next chapter anyway. Just hope this doesn't draw any negative attention to what's become my favorite ongoing manga.
On a semi-related note, do you guys think Loki disguised himself as Brunhilde or is just possessing her?
