I'm literally begging you all to keep the translations up.

If you use google's archive machine, those pages won't always be available. They'll disappear after a certain amount of time, and they didn't even have all of the translations archived in the first place.

I'm a monolingual. All of that music, all of that culture--you're telling me that it'll be gone forever, just because they changed their minds?

Please don't take my favorite songs away.

I was a long-time follower of HnY--I always liked and commented on their videos, always supported them. But this is different. This is bigger than HnY or TheBlackCero, bigger than you or me. They had a major part in a cultural movement, and removing their translations would be like book-burning.

Basically, the fandom is counting on this Wiki. Without it, monolingual fans will scramble to save and re-upload whatever they can--and I have no doubt that toes would get stepped on, unrelated permissions would be violated, and translations would get distorted. You guys have the opportunity to preserve these pieces of history as respectfully as possible.

You can either choose to ignore HnY's absurd betrayal of trust, or you can throw the fandom into disarray. I don't think it's possible to comply with HnY while also acting in the fandom's best interest.
