dont let them silence you you only speak truth

It was a painful read and I couldn't finish it

I did skip that. Sanho and Tak side story was already very hard for me to go through. No way I was going to force my self to read about the god awful boss

Yk I wish I was smart like you. I told myself I wasn’t going to especially after the last side story but curiosity really does kill the cat. I regret my life choices. :/

That's very relatable tho. I've made (and still do) the same mistake a lot. There's a bunch of stories which I wish I could unread and I think they are worse than this one ngl...

What I'm trying to do nowadays is to find and read the massive comments instead of reading it myself. But sometimes the curiosity is still stronger and I end up reading it anyway

Our queen Lamy on tiktok will keep us fed

Lamy looks down on peeps on sites like ours?
She 100% does not like us at all

I mean... Rightfully so, because pirating is kind of illegal and not a good thing to do, even though I am the first to do it I know it's wrong. Anyways her recommendations are top tierhalf of my now-favourites are thanks to her.
(I don't know if it sounds rude what I meant to say was that I understand why she doesn't like us and I don't fault her for it)

Oh your all good I dpnt think you were rude at all!
I kinda understand why she dislikes us, but also she doesn't know any of our situations? Some of us quite literally dont have the money to spare or are hiding liking queer media from our family(or at least past catholic schoolgirl me did, I was terrified lol and now im pan what a turn in events lol)

Actually the rise in popularity in manwha/manga/anime/ect. Is thanks to pirating.

And also it allows people to read media that has been forgotten about or no one has bothered to officially translate.

Its also thanks to pirating that these artist have as big as a social media following that they do, bc most of us make the effort to support them in ways that doesn't cost us money.

I just think her black and white thinking is a little, sorry I dont really know the right word(outdated, ignorant, lack of understanding? Maybe?)

And ofcourse for Americans the possible upcoming increase in taxation of foreign goods/media

Also to reiterate, I dont think you were rude or anything negative! U seem like an awesome person! Just wanted to have a discussion with you

Sorry I late night yap

Okkk yeah i understand what you mean now

I pirate for the same reasons you said, I guess that from her pov if you can't pay for the chapters than you shouldn't read them at all. Which you're right it is kind of extremist.

But still she isn't going around reporting sites or people (from what I know, I may be wrong even if I hope I'm not), so that's why I still like her has a person, and especially her recs because she isn't ashamed to talk about the juicy details

Anywaysss thank you for sharing your point of view, I guess I didn't think about any possible good sides of pirating ╮(￣▽￣)╭
