@Kouichi75785996@Askinsgift What would you do if every single anime and manga costs ten times the price it currently does for you?
What would you do if every anime thats 8 years old is no longer viewable?
Thats us, right now, with no piracy.
Eat my dick.
@konohito0@shiganaiman@digyrain@NOTTHISWAYQQ Pretty accurate yes. I think it would genuinly confuse a lot of people here to the point of terror to give up on essentials for the sake of a hobby.
It doesnt help that we live paycheck to paycheck and have no idea what to do if we get sick and have to pay money we dont have.
@digyrain@shiganaiman@NOTTHISWAYQQ I asked a friend in Japan how much he thinks he could find a used version of the manga for since its not in print their either.
He said about 3,000 yen at his local resell store.
@shiganaiman@digyrain@NOTTHISWAYQQ I guess I want a world where neither they, nor I, have to do that.
And it should be that easy. The licensing is done. The translation is done. Why dont they just sell it here?
@digyrain@shiganaiman@NOTTHISWAYQQ That price isnt fesable for the average westerner.
I could either have a month's worth of food or I could have a manga series.
I get that I can't have everything. But there just isn't a reason we can't have it printed here for half that price.
@DegenerateHypo@Orion932 No but it is horror artists fault if they draw a picture of Jason holding a knife, not killing someone, and people associate it with horror.
Because obviously.
All I'm saying is if you're into little girls you should say it with your chest like the others in the thread.
@mnyyosaka@skw_sfms@Cimexus@NOTTHISWAYQQ I might not understand but do you mean name publishers here?
Viz media
Kodansha
Yen press
Seven seas - the smallest and only non-japanese
@WastingSanity@FirewallEnigma@Pirat_Nation Yes. Everything is political.
There was outrage when factories replaced workers with more automation.
The difference is AI actively steals while an assembly line doesnt.
@ADHDYuliy@WastingSanity@TheScottyMFV@Pirat_Nation Friend, you'll be happier not engaging. They think our very existence is forcing them to be like us.
They genuinly think we're some secret cabal out to get them when, like you said, we just exist.
