Opinions on piracy
So for me I'm ALL IN E-books, manga, manwha, movies, shows, games, dlcs, anything I can get my grubby little hands on you name it. But whenever I mention I pirate shit someone acts like I just stole cheese from an anorexic mouse. I've seen some people on here have negative views one piracy (bit ironic but eh) and irl its always a mixed bag. Like they're ok with movie piracy but when I told some mf to just pirate the god damn Thomas the tank engine because I know these mfs around me will.never get a job they look at me like I just pissed on baby jesus.
I know I am probably biased to this as I was built on piracy from a young age and I personally don't see it as a big deal but I know some.people see it as a big deal so just want to see what peoples opinions are
Pirate unless you want to support the creators, big corporation? you broke? pirate. indie creator and you broke? pirate, but if you get the money and it's indie? try to buy it to support them. i basically don't really see it as paying for the media but more so supporting the creator of the media when i buy stuff.

all for pirating shows n movies too reply
If you like it and do your best to buy it when you reasonably can, go for it.
I am someone though who will eventually buy a game I enjoy, even if I pirated it and 100% completed it, I will buy it and just let it sit with 0 hours playtime lol.
There are exceptions to this rule of course, certain companies I refuse to ever buy from again :D
