Hi! So I'm back :D But I won't be translating Dudu's Diary anymore

COVID forced me to work full time because my company laid off a few people. I logged in just to try translating again, but I saw this review in NU:

It was never my intention and I never meant to translate something that's seen as sexist and offensive by others. If I offended others, I apologize, it's just a novel I saw posted in the NU forums that I personally liked and translated for the first time. I'm almost done with the novel but I'll stop translating now, I'll go back to doing google doc translations with my close in-real-life friends. Translating with a bigger audience is stressful because I always receive messages about translating a novel that's racist, sexist, body shaming etc. and I just don't want to offend others anymore. Good bye. Keep safe!
