This episode was so much funnier than what I would have found, probably because these people don't really talk about hentai at all. The impression I got when trying to mine this kind of content, is that most of these losers are really young, as in mid teens to early twenties, at least as according to them.A Meat, February 24, 2015, 07:09:50 am
That's because as far as I can tell Luscious is just reposting content from other places so you are therefore looking at a group of consumers set apart from the people who actually spend time and money getting porn from Japan and translating it. The kind of people who learn Japanese to understand porn stories.
I don't know any specifics but I have heard that there is a lot of drama in "doujin-translation circles". Fights about who should have the "rights" to translate what, people reposting content elsewhere without the pages identifying the translation team, and so on.
I do know there was some kind of big legal strike down because a western online sales portal for erotic comics acquired the legal rights for a bunch of stuff and then proceeded to email cease-and-desist letters to people who were translating the porn that now belonged to them, all while using those translations to lazily do their own by changing only a few words. SCANDAL.
If you want to go somewhere closer to the source, stick your nose into the fountain of cartoon smegma, you would probably want to take a look at the E-Hentai forums or Gelbooru Forums. That's where all the cool kids translating porn or getting it straight off Pixiv (Japan's Deviantart) hangout.
BONUS ROUND OF FACTS:
E-Hentai even has a "Sadpanda" section so called because unless you first do X, Y, and Z to register properly all you will see when you are linked to that section is a picture of a Sadpanda. That's where they keep all the stuff that has "Copyright Issues", is blatantly stolen from western paysites, or is just too gross for the mainstream sections.

or the equivalent of a Hugo award ceremony just so I can make a doc out of it next year and send it in to be read.

I'm pretty sure those sorts of awards have been around since at least the LiveJournal era. Every niche shipping community had their own contests and awards for the best fanfiction written that year, both erotic and just plain rooooomantic.
