Hi all! There finally seems to be a bunch of people joining this app, so I figured I'd make an introduction.
My name's Stacy, and I'm a freelance manga and light novel editor, game LQA, and occasional JP - EN translator! I've also recently started editing Korean webnovels for Publang.

Publishers will cry boo-hoo about tight budgets from thin margins, which I don't dispute per se, but when you consider that manga used to pay $20+ per page to translate in the 90s when foreign industry revenue was tiny, forgive me if I wonder if it's more a question of priorities than lack of money.

There are a couple different parts to this. First, let's start with type design.
All-caps text has a higher visual density because all of the letters are the same height. The available whitespace of a given line of text is most highly filled in for all-caps text compared to mixed-case text.

When Animorphs ended, fans were vocal about how they didn't like the depressing ending.
K.A. Applegate responded with amongst the most brutal letters I've read.
It takes a generational talent to tell your fans "If you're mad at me because that's what you have to take away from Animorphs, too bad."

This has gone way more viral than I ever imagined, so uh, hi new followers! 🫣 I really wasn't planning to talk about politics or my library days much on here, but if you have questions about stuff like this feel free to ask.
Ex-librarian here—I'd say encouraging your followers to put in requests for books with marginalized authors/MCs and check out those books both in person and online would be best. To get books and keep them on shelves in times of scrutiny like this, there has to be a quantifiable demand for them.
I'm not uniquely qualified for anything but as book bans will become stricter on stories of the marginalized in the coming years I want to ask librarians if there is anything I can personally do with my small platform to help out
