The Japanese community is calling out Westerners over piracy, and it sparked a heated discussion.
User (luckynosu) asked:
“Why is it that so many Westerners can't understand the Japanese way of thinking that hates justifying theft?”
But another user (TakumiTakumado) pushed back, pointing out that one of the biggest piracy sites reportedly gets around 45% of its traffic from Japan.
It highlights a clear disconnect: in Japan, piracy is widely viewed as outright theft with little tolerance for excuses, while in Western spaces, it’s often justified due to accessibility, pricing, or availability.
Meanwhile, the scale of the issue is massive, Japan estimates online piracy caused over ¥5.7 trillion (~$30B+) in digital content losses in 2025 alone.
@0xitsmeNio Confession is for catholics (or maybe orthodox). You can talk to a priest for spiritual guidance or join OCIA.
Also, generally you just need to mention the sin and how many times it was done, no need to explain things.
@pureMetatron Fascism killed about 8 million, communism 90 million maybe. Since russia was the first country to legalize abortion, add another billion dead to communism.
@memeslich Sure. Maybe not at full speed, but things should be moving and they should occasionally be getting reminders about it progressing without them.
