is there anything immoral or "evil" about interacting with pornographic animanga content? Sex is evidently so synonymous with the industry but the West likes to bully you into thinking it's despicable.

Nothing much outside the standard 'sex bad, violence good' aspect of American culture. When it butts heads with a very sexual charged industry like anime, there's bound to be pushback.

Let's all come together.
But at least 6 feet apart. Otherwise, it's weird. Don't cross the streams!

You don't even need to sign in, though. No credit card required.
Just every time you go to read a doujin on Fakku (you have to make sure it's a part of the "unlimited" subscription), you have to click the "I'll subscribe later" button.

A marketing ploy that has done well for other websites.

Of course, a lot of the material the website sponsors can be found for free elsewhere, and it's well known that a lot of its aggregated content comes from sources that aren't properly compensated or that the website doesn't actually have the rights for. So whether this advertisement leads to a notable number of individuals willing to pay a subscription remains to be seen.

Kind of interesting how the website has grown in just over a decade.

Everything on the site has been properly licensed content for years, so this is completely incorrect.
