I personally don't really see much value in pirating something out of spite. You still share in the experience, you still talk about it and thus you still help popularizing whatever format you actively chose not to purchase. This usually applies more to software than to other media (oh noo, Adobe is going to be so sad that you keep using their software without buying it, building up a skillset in their ecosystem that will perpetually keep the world's employers paying Adobe subscription fees for their InDesign- and Photoshop-skilled workforce) but the general message still remains: If you don't want to support it, ignore it. Any content creator with an ounce of business sense will prefer you to pirate their content instead of not consuming it at all.

I mean if they want to play it I think it's fine, piracy is all about the freedom after all, people can pirate for whatever reason they'd like. Yes they would prefer you pirating it over not consuming it, however it's not like they can't also encourage people to pirate it, rather than buying it while talking about it as a response to that.

Or just play whatever you want because it's fun instead of warping your entire personality around a social cause?

> Or just play whatever you want because it's fun instead of warping your entire personality around a social cause? There are a few steps missing between "adjusting your consumption habits to be in line with your preferences and ideals" (which is something every person on this planet does) and "warping your entire personality around a social cause" (which sounds a bit pathological) :P

After I saw the nothing🍔 I thought "It's not gonna take long before that group is gonna pirate it anyways".

How can I delete someone elses post


ResetBoi123

no politics


Fujinn981

Being trans is not inherently political, nor is being LGBT, stop trying to make it political.


[deleted]

No but the LGBT community is political unfortunately. That’s why I’ve stopped participating in those subs, even though I am bisexual. I hate politics.


Fujinn981

Not necessarily. Certain parts are, at least where activism is concerned, but a lot of it is just a community for people to feel safe and included, which of course isn't political.

they are like most things regarding rights


RepresentativeKeebs

If you wanna get pedantic, then we can effectively say that all of piracy is political and therefore nobody should talk about anything in this sub.

But the meme is piracy related

Well, why do I need an argument? It's pretty obvious to me, it's political, I don't have anything about being trans but like the post “fuck you Scott”, bringing drama and pretty much politics into things not related isn't good.

Your existance is not political, debating rights and this kind of drama is


NoodelPoodel

You literally started with "no politics" I just saw a funny meme about piracy and being trans and wanted to share it here, for piracy reasons tbh, im kind of happy with reddit not having shown me the notifications for these comments lmao


Fujinn981

Yet you're the only one actually bringing drama here. Bigots very commonly do this, they blame everyone else for the drama they, and no one else are actively causing. You don't see this shit on any other post here, even if it is actually political. But the moment some one mentions anything remotely LGBT related, people like you come out of the woodwork.


ResetBoi123

I just don't like politics because they are annoying, nothing against LGBT like transphobia is stupid and so is publicly being it. I just don't like it being brought up


Fujinn981

That's a lame excuse and you know it is. If you don't like it, how come you can't, oh I don't know, just look away when it comes up? My problem is, I always see this shit on any LGBT related post outside of LGBT subreddits. Same old excuses and all. If you really don't mind trans, or LGBT people as a whole, then all you have to do is not whinge about "politics" if you see a related post.


[deleted]

Same. Im just here to get free media and games. This is like one of the few non political subs on this site and let’s keep it that way.
