these authors need to realize that entering reader spaces js to lecture readers abt piracy rarely achieves anything lol. it’s not going to stop piracy, it’s not going to magically increase your sales, n honestly it might even have the opposite effect !!!
Mas é mesmo, crianças e adolescentes só querem crescer pq nao são levados a sério, nem ouvidos e nem têm os sentimentos validados, entao a vontade é de crescer pra finalmente "ganhar credibilidade", tirando isso uma infancia e adolescencia típica é melhor que ser adulto
if you, as an author, genuinely believe that reading is just a luxury or that people aren’t “entitled” to be able to have better access to books then i don’t think you should be an author
authors who think their sales would increase if books aren't pirated are so in the wrong ?? if piracy wasn't available, they wont read it at all..in turn the sales would decrease because a lot of people who read these books make bookish content and thus promote it...
really bewildering to me that authors can write fantasy with complex political climates & socioeconomic issues yet their capitalist addled brains can only think of personal financial gains & not the very real education, intellectualism & literacy that piracy upholds.
idc if an author is anti piracy but choosing to attack readers rather than the publishing industry/chain bookstores that have made reading an expensive hobby or governments that refuse to fund libraries & make them more accessible, these are the #1 contributing factors to piracy
Isso aqui é a representação perfeita da nossa seleção. Pra que vão se preocupar em ganhar a Copa se não tem identificação nenhuma com o país? Não sentem nem a vergonha de encarar o povo porque sequer pisam aqui
Misogynistic gay men use menstruation to degrade women, they try to put us down by saying things like "clearly that time of the month has arrived" just like straight men do. Yet if you retaliate in the slightest they gonna scream that you're a bitch then play the victim. Trust me
horrorizada com o que as mulheres estão passando no afeganistão, dá um desespero só de pensar. imagina você não poder frequentar uma escola depois dos seus 12 anos, não poder ser atendida por médicos homens, seu marido poder te bater sem nenhuma punição e te tratarem feito NADA?
são os pró-vida que só demonstram preocupação apenas quando o feto ta no ventre. depois que nasce, quando essa criança precisa de alimento, saúde e dignidade, esse compromisso com a vida evapora.
this entire anti piracy debate boils down to the fact that you guys don’t think poor people or people in the global south deserve enriching lives. “steal food not books” people deserve to both eat and interact with art so that they can thrive and not just survive
believing that an author is not getting paid enough bc a Latinamerican teen pirated their book that is not even available for purchase in their country instead of blaming the million-dollar making publishing houses for not paying their authors properly is a wild take tbh
