@feminist_tokyo But sometimes a series just isn’t available at all. For example in my country you cannot watch or purchase Durarara anywhere. It’s not available to be streamed and nowhere sells DVDs. So unless you luck out and find one second hand the only choice is pirating (which sucks)

@feminist_tokyo For both manga and anime I think it’s safe to say people watch/read it almost wherever it’s available. The most common one is probably Crunchyroll as it is the largest holder for streaming rights. Sometimes the only option is DVD (generally about 4000 yen a DVD)

海外の兄弟達に聞きたいのですけど…。 海賊版の話で、逆に海賊版ではない日本のアニメを真面目に見てる人っているの？（と、疑いたくなってきた） まともな方法で見てる人は、その方法も教えて欲しい。 Netflixとか、Amazonとか、それともDVDとかなのかな。

@kakei_mikoto @V7NnRqa0uZbvFqZ Not really. It’s dependent on your country. A volume of Berserk costs $60-$80aud as compared to a $10 comic. Even the cheapest stuff like JJK costs about $20. And that’s if the series is even sold (most aren’t). Piracy rarely happens due to price but due to availability

@V7NnRqa0uZbvFqZ 不思議なのは、アメコミとそう値段が変わらないらしいことなんですよね そして、アメコミはエピソードが一冊２話くらい 一方日本の漫画は５～７話は載っている だから日本の漫画の方がコスパいいとか海外の方が聞いたんですが…（ネタ元はパンドラの憂鬱という海外の反応系翻訳サイト）

「俺達が違法サイトで海賊版の漫画を読むのは、日本の漫画が高くて手に入らないからだ！」みたいな声が海外で盛り上がっているそうで。 君らって「高くて手に入らないから！」つって宝石店とか強盗しちゃうの？ つーか高くて買えないなら、ネトフリか何かに入って正規の手段でアニメ見れば良いだろ。

@FumiHawk I do do this. For what’s sold in my country. But that’s the problem. I can’t get some stuff properly

日本は「コンテンツ生産国」なんだから、他国に比べてコスト安いし、コスト安いから価格も抑えられる。 あんたらは輸入国で輸入品は基本的に「高価な贅沢品」なんだよ。 贅沢品を消費したいなら、しっかり稼いで正規で買えよ。 それが嫌なら【自分（自国）で作れ】【他人から盗むな（海賊版使うな）】

@innocence_SAC This also goes for Japanese film and television. Certain things never get a western release or are not released in my home country (this goes for both a dubbed over series or an original translation series). This means without pirating I literally have no way to access it

@innocence_SAC Outside of people who are actually scummy the vast majority of people who pirate Japanese media do it because it is simply not available otherwise. Half the manga I read have never gotten an English translation (this includes massive series like JoJo)

日本では、いい年した大人が海賊版の利用を公言するのは憚られる風潮があるけど、 海外だと『海賊版で読むのが当たり前』であり、『海賊版を利用することは正しい』『海賊版は作品の宣伝に貢献している』とまで言ってのける人間がスタンダードらしく、足下が瓦解するようなカルチャーギャップを実感

@HeiligePasta @ChurchOfMoons Long story short Amber (like with a previous partner of hers) was abusive and frequently both verbally and physically abused Depp. On a couple of occasions Depp fought back and she went to a British paper about it to have them paint him as a wife beater. Depp sued Amber and won

@ChurchOfMoons I genuinely do not know what the hell is happening Because I’m pretty sure her lawyers were incompetent and she lost the case, but then I see people saying that she was the victim Help me out ;-;

Amber Heard fans really do just talk like she won the case lmao

@Relatively_Here @ChurchOfMoons It was a case against a newspaper not Amber. It was based around whether the newspaper posted the article knowing it was bull. Oh yeah also the judge was the writers uncle

@ChurchOfMoons Didn’t she win a civil case in the UK?

@Invigoration_ @superchickcharg @atrocitics You are an idiot

@Matticus_Max @superchickcharg @atrocitics Incorrect, he couldn’t see any details on the screen because he can only see outlines or silhouettes of what’s around him through his radar sense.

@Invigoration_ @atrocitics If he cant see a movie theater screen he cant see

@Invigoration_ @superchickcharg @atrocitics No. He couldn’t see any details on the screen because it’s flat. To him it would seem like a regular room with 4 walls and maybe a stage. He can’t see. A blind person can “see” your face through through. He can just do something equivalent to that with range. He is blind

@Matticus_Max @superchickcharg @atrocitics Exactly my point, his radar sense gives him a general visual of his surroundings but when it comes to seeing things in detail that’s something he cannot do.

@AOIKEN72 No no no. They aren’t saying it’s too expensive. They are saying the can’t buy it. As in it’s not available. It’s either not translated officially at all or isn’t available in their country. JoJos Part 7 finished in 2011 and started its English version last year

海賊版ねぇ。クリエイターとしては「ふざけんなー(」ﾟДﾟ)」」と言いたいんだけど。 海外の人が「高くて買えないんだ」って気持ちは分かるんだよね。私も金ない学生時代はひたすら立ち読みしてたからね。あんなの海賊版と同じだよ。 だからあんまり「絶対ダメ！」とは言いにくい。 ただ、海賊版で読んでる人には言っておきたい。 クリエイターは作品が売れてお金が入らないと次がないんだよ。海賊版からは作者に一円もお金入って来ないんだよ。だからその作品が気に入ったならなるべく、お金が出来てからでいいから、正規品を買ってくれ。 海賊版で読めるのが当然だと思わないでくれ。それはクリエイターに寄生してる海賊版運営者を太らせるだけの行為だ。クリエイターは痩せ細って続きが出せなくなる。 そして海賊版見付けたら読んだ後にでもいいから通報して潰してくれ。海賊版経営者は業界の寄生虫で癌だ。潰さないと業界が死ぬ。 頼むよ本当に。

@Invigoration_ @superchickcharg @atrocitics He would be able to know the screen is there and see literally nothing on it. Same way he can’t read a traffic light. He is a blind man. He has what is an equivalent to a constant echo location sense

@superchickcharg @atrocitics He wouldn’t be able to view it like a normal person could but I bet he could see it to some degree, not every detail of the screen but vague shapes probably

@NEHWind I’m sorry. What’s the issue with him being a producer? He is not director at the moment. His role is essentially just acting like a studio bigwig but for the people. Choosing good people to put on the team and saying if it’s a good direction for the director

A clueless suit at Sony took one look at Iron Lung's numbers and started snapped their fingers going "what horror games do we have around here? Bloodbones? Great, find another youtube streaming gamer-type who really likes Bloodbones and put him in charge of a Bloodbones movie."

@ChaosHusk There has to be some major rose tinted glasses here. Lightfall any higher than C. Launch for bother games are also like B at best. While pit is S shadowkeep sucked

My DLC/destiny year of content tierlist do yall agree or disagree?

@ChaosHusk I don’t really think that overhauling the weapons would fix the issue people have with it though. The armour a little but at least for the weapons people’s issue lies with running the exact same content for a 2% boost. It’s why the weapons reused in Into The Light were a success

Yeah, I disagree with them community as its atl something new for alot of people to like farm or engage with, BUT I do see and understand why people would be annoyed. I feel a better version of that would be to overhaul *every* raid and dungeon weapon/armor that would make sense similar to what theyre doing in June cause it provides newer not powercrept rewards to the older activities.

Maybe a hot take; i was one of the people that didnt mind reused content or recycled content in Destiny 2, i was just happy to have somehting to do even if it was recycled because thats how i saw the game. I understood why people complained and still do however for me and how i enjoyed the game, recycled content or not i was happy, its upsetting to see such a lack of any content whatsoever. I do hope they bring back the old raids, the tangled shore and its strike (my personal favorite) while were at it. as long as there was more to play id be happy

@ChaosHusk Sorry I probably should have elaborated further. Things like recycling the last wish weapons for the third time and acting like that is a substitute for new content or weapons was the type of weapon reuse that was causing problems within the community

@Matticus_Max The events yeah could use renovations, but i dont actually mind or care that much about reused weapons or armor. So my point still does stand mostly even when applying that

@tardyliberator @LucasNoShot Except it’s a poor attempt at being divisive. Basic psychology shows it’s harder to regain trust/affection than it is to gain it initially. By having Abby’s story after you first reach her boss fight not only are you dealing with negative emotions from Joel but also her fight

@Matticus_Max @LucasNoShot The point is that the story writers challenged players to overcome their preconceived biases, yes many players did fail to see that point, I don’t think the story would be as compelling if the dilemma wasn’t divisive. There was no retcon of the first game’s ending.

I genuinely think less of you if you go through the entire story of TLOU2 and still hate Abby.

@tardyliberator @LucasNoShot But that’s the point. The game sets you up to hate Abby then work you back into liking her (much harder to do). It failed with that for many players. It’s also made by worse by the game retconning the ending of the first game

@Matticus_Max @LucasNoShot The game arranges it like that on purpose to make you hate Abby. If the order of how the events play out matters, you’ve successfully been manipulated
