As a fan translator myself, nothing pisses me off more than that shit. I once had someone get super bitchy at me for wanting to translate a manga they had "claimed" as their project and then done exactly nothing on. I, meanwhile, had translated two chapters of it and could easily have done the rest, except they threw an enormous tantrum and I just abandoned the whole project because it wasn't worth dealing with their histrionics and drama.

Five years later, guess how much of that manga they've actually translated? That's right, none. I could have had it done within a few months but I'm not even going to bother touching it now. Sorry to the fans who wanted a translation, I guess, but I'm not in this for drama, I just wanted to share this manga with people who don't speak Japanese. It's no skin off my back because I can read it in Japanese, but I feel sorry for the people who can't and were hoping for a translation only to have it ruined because one person felt like being a possessive, entitled asshole.

Wow, I'm petty and would've thrown myself into making an amazing translation ASAP just to spite them.

Oh, I'm petty too but I didn't feel getting constantly shittalked behind my back was worth putting in the effort it takes to translate multiple volumes of manga. I just wanted to wash my hands of the whole thing and be done with it.

This reminds me of drama with a CN webnovel translation- one translator was slow so another group "poached" one of their projects - the original translator was sad and whined to her readers but accepted it in the end while the new group was being kinda mean girls about it (mocking her because she was so slow anyway so she should just shut up). The translation has now more or less stopped from the new group as well, so nobody wins.
