Look. You're not obligated to understand the world around you. But if you don't, you will constantly stumble through the world, bewildered and confused.

my notifications are once again devolving into a spirited debate about the ethics of actions that could potentially make someone uncomfortable, and at risk of sounding like someone about to get a lot of irate anons I think we're frankly giving way too to much moral weight to hypothetical discomfort

the thing about discomfort is that it's an extremely nebulous category that can be triggered by virtually anything and that's far too broad a category to have any inherent moral quality to it. like. my mom was mad uncomfortable when I stopped shaving. that didn't mean I was doing violence against my mom it just meant she needed to get over herself. many such cases it must be said.

Whether your sales figures adequately compensate you is a matter for you and your publisher to resolve. That is the agreement you voluntarily entered into. The rest of the world is under no obligation to pay you perpetual "rent" simply because your work continues to exist. Your dispute over compensation belongs at the negotiating table with your publisher, not at the feet of readers especially those who have neither the means nor the contractual obligation to pay you.

oh lol they're giving out "beta keys" on the forum and claiming they'll start charging for it once they come out of beta even though it's been around for like a decade+. are they trying to hide something illegal in that binary or do they just enjoy being annoying for no reason

remember when things were simple

this is the saddest fucking image on this website

legalize copyright infringement

to be clear this is a fully sincere political belief that I have. I am pro copyright infringement and in fact anti "asking for permission to make derivative art"
