## Resource

Does changing a pervert's name make them less of pervert? This manga publisher seems to think so, but the internet doesn't agree. Black Ramen dives into the Manga One controversy regarding the rehiring of certain manga artists. After that, let's talk world-building and our grudge against Stephen King.
