My dream is a world without leftism


since ik I have some Japanese followers, I wanted to ask, why is it that so many of Japanese don't understand why westerners pirate Japanese manga, anime and games?



日本と海外の、国名は書きませんが数カ国の方のコメントを読んでいて、 著作権に関する大きな価値観の差があって埋まらないことが分かりました。 日本の農作物の苗や種を盗んで母国で育てることも、「自分で育てたら自分のものだよ?何が悪いの?」 漫画も 「私の国の収入は低くて正規のものは買えない。だから海賊版を楽しむ権利がある」だの、 「他国の文化をわざわざ海賊版で見てやってるのに、何の文句があるんだ。お前らも漫画家の家に行って生原稿で読んでないなら本物は見てないだろう!」とかコメントしてきて、 もう会話が成立しない。 いいですか? 著作権の守られない国にはいい作家なんか育ちません。 他国の漫画を海賊版で盗み見て喜んでいると、どうせ頑張っても本が売れないわけで、作家はやる気を失います。 そんな国ではよい作品を作る努力はされないので、 永遠に他国の作品を違法に盗み見て楽しむことしかできなくなるんですよ? と言っても伝わらないか。 言葉の壁がXから取り払われても、価値観や文化の壁はまだ厚いなあ。


Nakayama Michiru Author of 'I Want the Losing Heroine to Win!' says she's TIRED of Overseas Fans demanding ships and changes to the plot: "People who read for free on foreign pirate sites think they have control over the story. I get a lot of demands like: 'If you don't pair XX with XX, you're not a real writer." "I’m thrilled to have fans overseas, but for how loud they are despite reading for free, I’d really appreciate it if they’d just drop some cash first."
















Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream currently has a 77 Metacritic Average based on 19 reviews. The original Tomodachi Life achieved a 71 Metacritic Average, sold millions and is a beloved 3DS game, so this seems fine to me!



One of the interesting arguments the JP side has had against Stop Killing Games is that to make an offline version or would cost 50% to 100% more of the games original budget to do it. I'm not sure if this is just a blatant lie, genuine incompetence or total ignorance. We have guys with no access to the source code able to reverse engineer servers with, relatively speaking, minimal effort. If Joe Everyman can do it for 0 dollars in his basement without the nessecary information, how come companies that actually have that information apparently can't do?




I will not be buying Tomodachi Life because of your insertion of left-wing extremist propaganda (nonbinary). I am a Switch 2 owner with over 100 bought games (an actual paying customer unlike most people who think "nonbinary" is real). Thank you for your attention to this matter!
