Well, more like a troll post rather than explanation. What the hell is Dao going on about, calling HorribleSubs a fansub group and saying that a lot of people have been working on it? It's well known that HS is just a ripping group, I can't imagine them needing that many people to manage it all. The only reason to avoid telling the truth would be to avoid legal issues. I wonder if that's the true reason they shut down.
HS can be replaced by a shell script. I don't know why he's pretending there was any actual work going into their releases in the last 5+ years.

>I use CrunchyRoll myself and I think they're the best in the industry. This is one hell of a last shitpost to shit on all other shitposts or he is trying to outshill even Zig Forums's shills.

It's a joke, user. The real service they provided was ripping off CrunchyRoll's subs and giving them out for free as a big "FUCK YOU" to CrunchyRoll itself. That's the real loss here and it's a fucking shame, because those CR bastards don't deserve a single cent fro their shitty and inaccurate translations.

>At the end of the day, when it comes to the present, I believe that fansubbing, illegal streaming sites, downloading sites, and piracy as a whole does have a negative impact on the industry
>you have no excuse to be looking at illegal platforms that essentially steal and profit off it
Beyond the obvious shitpost of a "we are a hard at work subgroup" in the first section, this has to be the biggest bait I have ever read in my entire life.

Erai does the exact same thing and has for years. The only difference is they fix the typesetting, HS never bothered to, even when the subs went off screen
>calling HorribleSubs a fansub group and saying that a lot of people have been working on it I don't think I've ever seen a HS news post that wasn't a shitpost in this vein. They've always referred to themselves as a legitimate fansub group. I have no idea why people expected a serious reason for them giving up.

If they felt burned out and stressed because of Covid why didn't they just take a season off or I dunno lighten their load by subbing less?!? not like they are the only group. Seems like they wanted to take the nuclear route long ago imo and they just used this as an excuse.

Why are these retards still trying to drum up drama for what's pretty much just a ripper group?
Ryan Rivera
are these fucker really calling themselves "fansubbers" now? what the actual fuck? horriblesubs has never "fansubbed" anything
Noah Russell
>There are people out there that still believe HS actually subbed anything
Hudson Ward
Because they want to appear like they're going out with nobility, but the harsh reality is that this is all bullshit and the real reason is probably sordid and their bowing out is out of cowardice.

>What the hell is Dao going on about, calling HorribleSubs a fansub group and saying that a lot of people have been working on it? It's not?
Henry Kelly
I mean apparently running these scripts took a lot out of them
Brody Barnes
no it's not you retard. horriblesubs is just a bunch of fucking bots that pull streams from funimation and crunchyroll and turn them into torrents. "horriblesubs" is not a fansub group nor have they ever translated anything. it was just a network of bots. that's it
Evan Smith
Bots' lives matter too.
Jaxson Ramirez
I immediately want to stop reading this in that paragraph where he's calling Horriblesubs as fansubs, what the fuck is he talking about?
Zachary Ward
Get fucked and stay mad because people didn't suck your cock begging you to come back, Dao. I wasn't expecting anything and you still manage to disappoint me by repeating the same covid joke and making it longer. HS was useful but it was full of assholes like you (and it was by no means irreplaceable), so I'll just say good fucking riddance.
Gavin Powell
It's good that he chose to close HS considering his health problems, seeing that he is an obvious schizophrenic
Robert Morris
gotta maintain kayfabe even after death
Jackson Torres
She looks so beautiful. Yuri has probably gotten tired by crinch rolls stealing her subs and even taking money for it..
Jordan Moore
I can't believe how much bullshit this is. Just putting aside Horriblesubs was MADE to piss Crunchyroll off, they don't even sub anything! And now this guy is trying to pretend like piracy is wrong, what the fuck?
Usually, I feel sympathetic when these sites close down but this is insane
Parker Turner
Not a lot of people (this includes on Zig Forums) know what HorribleSubs is (a ripping group that anybody can do and many have done even while Horrible was active) so they can make this long emotional post about it and get sympathy points since not a lot people know they don't actually sub things
Josiah Rogers
>B-BUT WE'RE A GROUP OF IRREPLACEABLE FANSUBBERS >WORSHIP US AND DEMAND WE RETURN! t. HS
Lincoln Myers
Over a decade folks. Over a decade and there are legitimately people who don't realize Horriblesubs never actually subbed things. This entire time. Nobody questioned how they could put out releases in only an hour after the airing for so many shows, even fucking full-length OVAs and movies. They really just assumed they were some huge organization that was fast
Angel Young
>this includes on Zig Forums I refuse to believe.
Andrew Brooks
think about how dumb the average Zig Forumsnon is, and then remember HALF of them are even dumber

There is one RIGHT HEREWhy do you think we have been having so many "Oh noes Horriblesubs is dead" posts in the first place? If everybody around here knew they were just a rip group, they would also know that there were many other groups doing the same thing as them with easy access but that's the thing. Not everybody knows that.
It's the same reason people flipped on here when Kissanime died. They don't actually know a lot of how to get anime
