totally understand your statement. just read about the whole issue and on the author’s twitter. she sounds sooo manipulative twisting stories and only showing one part of the convo?? of course she has the right to be mad, but threatening and doxing the uploader and the mention of ‘bounty’ like wtf.
im not even going to lie with y’all but this is all so frustrating thinking from the uploader pov. there’s no way it should even be an argument of whether it’s ethical or not to leak someone’s personal information over this. like, do you realize how insane y’all sound? this isn’t manga, this isn’t a game. the fact that the uploader face is going around Twitter and the author is asking for information about them in exchange for compensation is entirely ridiculous.
“put yourself in the authors shoes! of course theyd want to defend their artwork!”
sweetie… i stopped stepping in the authors shoes when I realize they worn a different size than me. from the moment they decided to block the uploader on social media and then decide to only show ONE part of the conversation, was when I realize those shoes are a bit too tight for me to wear. stop trying to win brownie points for the author when we are all on an illegal website to start with, and start realizing how wrong the author was for putting this person in potential danger.
