Actually, i did do research. I've had dracu-riot since the project was announced and had been following ever since. I get what you mean. I Know people are mad at him because of the way he acts.
But, it is not true that people dont hate on other translators for taking too long or dropping a project. They do. and a lot of people hate on them in fact. and not just fansub groups but they hate on official companies as well.
If you investigate a bit in random major forums, you'll see that is true. Or just google a project cancellation.
And yes, if he's a jerk than it's ok to hate him. Hell, you don't have to have a reason. But i can't stand the way people demand this project from him. Besides, if you think that it is right to hate him for the way he treats people waiting for the translation, isn't it also possible he hates us back?
You said, there's a reason why people are hating him and it's not because he dropped the project right?
What makes you think he's acting like this for no reason? Go to most forums or chatrooms that discuss fan translations and you most likely will find bashing. I mean yes it's the internet, but still. Bashing on the internet, bashing in emails, bashing in messages. Anyone would have an attitude towards us if we start bashing him despite the fact that he's doing us a huge favor. and not just the people messing with him. there's also the constant inquiries about the status of the project. who knows, he might have reasons for his secrecy. he has a right to withhold information on his project. he doesn't even need to have a reason. I don't know if that's the reason he acts the way he does or if he's just normally like that. But it is a good reason.
