bro copyright is so good for creators you can make something that's about to be turned into a huge fucking franchise directed by michael bay and some predatory company can take it from you for pennies and lock you out of it with legal threats

How about instead of getting mad that poor people pirate stuff and that could hypothetically damage some artists income (though frankly most people who pirate wouldnt be able to pay anyway) and you get mad that poverty is effecting artists and fight so everyone has needs met.

An argument that doesn't demonize piracy is not an argument against buying stuff and that's such a silly position to believe. I think Piracy isn't bad and that you should buy and support art in particular queer own voice art.
These aren't arguments in conflict. If you are able you should supoort.

piracy is neither good nor bad it’s simply a thing that happens in direct proportion to how accessible media is.

"Don't steal books" why are comics people constantly so afraid of piracy? "Use your library instead"

I get that scanlations ≠ licenses, but I do feel that a multi billion dollar industry like manga would figure out a better way to gauge interests. Cause it's really just vibes based atp, & I don't think "buying a manga in a language I can't read" is a valid strategy for most fans

I as an ace person give you permission to be ace, to be sex repulsed, to think porn games are icky and yet still believe games with sexual content should exist. it's okay. you're not invalidating yourself by supporting porn games & the people who make them. it's all forms of expression

A thing I appreciate about SWC is bc of the demons, it's allowed to be both metaphorical & real at the same time. Yes, Duchess is a demon who will kill people who don't love them, but that "killing" also represents failed relationships. It's why people who misunderstand it are so eye-roll worthy

I'd also like to add: when many forms of art as entertainment (books, games, etc.) are released internationally, they are frequently priced according to what's affordable in Japan or the US/EU/AU, which means they're relatively expensive in some markets even if they do get an official release there
Idk as an artist when I hopefully release a book and I release games Im not gonna get frustrated at people who pirate because they aren't the issue, the fact any of us have to work to eat and stay sheltered is.

I'm angry about this. Why?
Because kink is kink.
But, CSA is not kink. It's abuse.
They're trying to either minimalize extreme abuse allegations in the Epstein files by saying the Prince is "kinky," or else they're trying to kink-shame all kink.

From the Days of Mana specials in Nintendo Power: Katsuya Terada's visions of the world of The Secret of Mana, which, like their illustrations for Link's Awakening, lend the game a darker, more mature vibe akin to the artwork you might see in a Wizardry game.
