@younglingslayer @pitogordisimo poor authors are entitled to be paid for their work. mind you, completely ignoring the part about the libraries so you can whine about reading a new release. y'all can stop pretending you're fighting for some imaginary country or poor person when it boils down to what YOU want.

@greninjahyyh @readingwithbeth babe, no. it's not about the publishing companies. it's about the authors. would you want your hard work stolen without compensation? also not every publisher is a large publishing company. piracy is not victimless.

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@greninjahyyh @readingwithbeth there have been other queer and indie authors who have made complaints and have been dragged. & it's a whole lot of "who the fuck are they? nobody was buying their shit anyways" and well exactly lmfao proving how dumb some of y'all are sounding

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@calmchasing @victoriajayneoh it's just not the ones you want to read is the problem.

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@calmchasing @victoriajayneoh people who can't access new literature is a completely different beast than what y'all are fighting about. but again, if you have internet and a computer to access pirating sites, you can access where to get thousands upon thousands of free books.

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@greninjahyyh @readingwithbeth it's also very much NOT like going to the library. also, you're not smaller than indie authors. you're in the mindset they're all big time authors like jk rowling etc when they're not lmfao

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@greninjahyyh @readingwithbeth i also don't think it's wrong necessarily bc i've done it, but it's also literally stealing. you don't NEED to pirate a book if you have the means to support authors and libraries, especially if you're worried about about the quality of said book.

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@JayyJenga @readingwithbeth okay, that's not the conversation at hand. they're crying because they don't want to spend money on a book they MIGHT hate.

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@greninjahyyh @readingwithbeth we're not doing this lmfao you know good and well this is wrong and misinformation. pirate all you want, but let's not pretend you're doing it because it's the moral thing to do. just own up to wanting to read new books without having to pay.

[ISABELLE @Tear_mcberry2]

the past few days have just been like this

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

and the misgendering of c.g drews is trash and you're trash if you do

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

it's time to mute bc i'm tired of these brain dead losers using buzzwords to excuse shit while attacking authors who are rightfully upset about people being loud about piracy like wrap it up

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@pitogordisimo and?? what's that have to do with what i'm saying lmfao books are expensive here too

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@calmchasing @victoriajayneoh What books are in discussion here? It doesn't mean the same thing. Indie authors deserve to be paid for their art / work. There's a discussion to be had access to books and literature, but you don't immediately deserve a NYT best seller bc u WANT it.

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@calmchasing @victoriajayneoh they're not saying you don't deserve books but you don't deserve THEIR books for free. which is completely valid??

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@bevm4rsh @readingwithbeth in fact, you should have gotten that sandwich for FREE so you could share with your followers about how bad it was because you'd be paying with exposure

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@victoriajayneoh these arguments are not in good faith. ripping off indie authors is shitty. nobody is gonna stop people from pirating, but these arguments are dumb lmfao

[🦇 @kncklevlvt]

@victoriajayneoh Nobody is saying they can't read, but this is such a cope out when everyone has access to free books. if you have access to pirate then you have access to public domain books. What they want to read is the newest SJM and Ali Hazelwood.
