Exactly! You can't tell people what to do when you yourself is reading here.
Facts
i agree except the "it sucks but it was their choice to make it as a career". blaming them aint it.
I'm mainly talking about being an artist as a career in general, in any medium. It's never been a lucrative industry. The term "starving artist" is a stereotype for a reason.
"kidnappers are everywhere. it's a well known fact that your child can get kidnapped. i don't know why parents are surprised anymore. it sucks but it was their choice to make a child."
this is exactly how you sound btw. and im not saying im better than you bc im reading shit on an illegal website, but the least you could do is not victim blame what the fuck.
These illegal sites have been around for YEARS. Longer than most of the authors have been working in this industry. It's a well known fact that illegal translations are bound to happen. I don't know why artists/authors are surprised by this anymore. It sucks but it was their choice to make it as a career. If you can support them, then good for you. But stop being so righteous on an illegal website.
