Idk...maybe because this is her job and how she earns her living...? Ik we two are also pirating this manga shamelessly like everybody else but isn't she valid for not wanting her work to be shown out illegally?

uh no bc the people pirating do it bc they can't afford to pay for the content. artists aren't losing money at all bc those pirating would not be able to buy the physical copies in the first place. if it more affordable for people (especially in countries that don't even sell/print manga) then people wouldn't have to resort to pirating. everyone has this misconception about pirating and shame people for it when it actually does no harm at all. so to put people down for it is just so out of touch.

This is HER WORK that she puts effort into. I think you'd be upset that people weren't paying for the hours of work you put into your art. She's in the right It's not being classist she's just upset and she never really made a big deal out of it so idk wtf you mean

U gotta understand thats just the japanese mindset. Its their culture and piracy is really frowned upon. Plus, even if i do pirate basically everything i read, ill never call an author classist for not wanting ppl to illegally read their work, thats how they make money and how they get validation from their art. We're the wrong ones here, even if its not actually "harming" anyone. I could argue it also has nothing to do w classism bc reading gachiakuta isnt a basic necessity

Thats just untrue lol ive refrained from buying books and manga id have normally bought previously bc i found free digital copies. It does harm the author, lets not be hypocritical.

^ its a lot to read but i think its important to try to gain a new perspective on this matter. please take some time to read what boichi sensei (dr stone's illustrator) has to say. about pirating and poverty.
