This week's poll was suggested by gomichandesu. We did a similar poll about 6 years ago, but this one has more detailed options. Last time, it was about a 50/50 split between translating it into a different accent vs. just using a translation note.

I'm surprised there aren't more pure console gamers. Yay for Nintendo though

This week's poll was suggested by yuri_shibuya. How do you normally play your video games? I'm primarily a PC gamer on my gaming desktop with lots of games via Steam. I do a little bit on the phone on the side. How about you?

Elon Musk made a mistake with Twitter

In a few days is the infamous April Fools' Day (April 1st). At MU, we WILL NOT tolerate any fake/joke releases being reported/announced to us (on any day, not just April Fools). If we, by accident, allow a fake release to get through, please report the mistake to us (either via a Change Request form, through the forum, post a comment in this news post, send me a private message, or you can email me at lambchopsil@mangaupdates.com if you are not a registered member here).

Thank you for considering our request to remain as accurate as possible for our members.

This week's poll was something I was thinking about today. Do you call it X or Twitter?

I currently don't have an in-unit dryer, so I have to hang dry my clothes. My clothes feel hard after drying since my water isn't the softest

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. How do you normally dry the majority of your clothes?

We're primarily a manga site, so I'm not surprised to see Japanese as the top

This week's poll was inspired by something Nyxsha suggested, but it's not quite what they had in mind. Can you read raw manga, manhua, or manhwa?

This week we have another poll from lollylopmr. Have you ever drawn in the manga, anime, or webtoon style? How good are you? Any samples? Or are you like me and terrible at art?

This week's poll was suggested by lollylopmr. We haven't done a cosplay poll since 2008, so why not do one now? And yes, dressing up for Halloween and cosplaying are considered different things usually

Question: You discover that in 10 years a series of traumatic events will cause you to turn down the path of super villain (i.e., Hitler, Emperor Palpatine, Sosuke Aizen). What do you do?

Nothing - votes: 920 (34.2%)

The villains seldom see themselves as evil. They tend to feel justified in their actions to do the greater good.

This week's fun poll was suggested by jacob66. Let's say that you discover a prophecy that you will become the next super villain due to some specific events that will happen. What do you do with this knowledge? Do you believe that the future can be changed with this knowledge? Do you even want to change the future?
